Description

Grounding pad {EARTHING PAD}

The present invention relates to a ground pad, and more particularly, to a ground pad capable of discharging static electricity of a human body without using a silver cloth, a metal cap, or a carbon fiber.

Electricity is inevitably present in all things on earth, and electricity usually maintains a balance of plus and minus, but static electricity is generated when any force acts on it and the balance is broken.

In our body, static electricity is generated for various reasons, and when static electricity stays in the human body for 3 hours, it is known that the amount of calcium in the body is consumed by 10% and the blood glucose value is increased by 3%.

In addition, the human body is converted to an acidified constitution due to the calcium breakdown caused by the static electricity, the resistance to the disease is reduced, and the fatigue is easily felt.

Static electricity accumulates in the body while sleeping at night. The human body can not take a good sleep due to the influence of such static electricity, and can act as a cause of various diseases.

These static electricity easily escape when the human body touches the earth.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0307898 (design name: Designed to provide a grounding wire for the electromagnetic wave shielding mat woven with metal yarn) includes a metal used to cut electromagnetic waves generated by the use of an electric mat or an electric mat with the human body Discloses a mat woven with a yarn.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a conventional mat-woven metal sheet. As shown in FIG. 6, a metal sheet 3 or a conductor 3 of a certain standard is attached to an upper portion of the electric sheet 1, When the shielding mat 6 is laid on the electric laminate 1 by connecting the wiring 4 drawn out to the outside of the laminate 3 to the metal laminate 3 or the conductor 3, And the shielding mat 6 are electrically connected to ground the shielding mat 6 so that the electromagnetic waves generated in the electric shielding plate 1 can be shielded.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a metal sheath, 7 denotes a thermistor, and 8 denotes a heat wire.

In addition, conventionally used pads for grounding for discharging static electricity of human body are silver thread pads woven with silver thread.

However, the above-mentioned silver thread (metal temple) has a problem in that the silver thread (metal thread) itself is a metal, which makes it difficult to touch the human body.

Also, the silver thread (metal temple) is expensive compared to a pad woven from a fiber.

In addition, since the silver fabric (metal temple) is not dyed, it is restricted by the design when making the mat using it, and in some cases, the same fabric can not be used when making the set, There is a disadvantage in that it is inevitably different.

In addition, as for the grounding, there is a limitation in that it must be used in the form of a mat woven with silver thread as in the above-mentioned conventional invention.

In addition, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0563810 (entitled "Personal Body Grounding Device") includes a grounding pad as a personal grounding device for collecting and removing abnormal electrical charges from a human body, And a conductive portion extending substantially across the carbon fiber layer in a conductive contact with the carbon fiber, wherein a ground lead is electrically connected to the conductive portion.

However, since the carbon fibers are much more expensive than conventional fibers, the cost of the grounding pad for discharging static electricity is high, and the carbon fibers are in contact with the human body, resulting in poor texture.
