Description

HUMAN STOP EARTHING MEANS

The invention relates to the field of ecology and health care, in particular to means for achieving a beneficial effect on the health of a person standing with bare feet on the grass or on the seashore, pond. The beneficial effect is that a person removes the electric potential (static electricity), which is constantly present in modern human life, and also equalizes his bioenergy potential, because the most natural flow of electricity (energy) for a person is carried out, namely in the direction from top to bottom, from the head to the feet of the person.

This effect is supposed to be called Green-floor (Gteep-ro).

The technical task of the present invention is the grounding of a person’s table or the creation of the Green-gender effect in everyday life with the help of various human vital objects.

The invention can be used in various sectors of the economy:

- in the production of flooring;

- in the manufacture of shoes;

- in medical institutions, dispensaries, etc .;

- in construction;

- in the manufacture of sports equipment.

Analogues of the invention are not identified.

Some analogues are known that are part of the grounding means.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Means of grounding of the feet of a person are intended to create the Green Sex effect in a person’s daily life, on vacation or on treatment (rehabilitation).

The Green-floor effect is achieved by electrically connecting a person’s foot with the grounding system of a room or the earth’s surface by means of electrodes and conductors embodied and integrated into human life objects.

An electrode directly in contact with the feet of a person is called a contactor.

The electrode in contact with the grounding system of the room or the ground is called a spark gap.

The conductor makes an electrical connection between the contactor and the arrester, as well as the earthing system of the room.

The means of grounding a person’s feet is an electric circuit of the constituent elements of a grounding device in contact with each other: a contactor, a conductor and a spark gap, which makes an electrical connection of a person’s foot to the grounding system of the device or directly to the ground.

The material embodiment of the constituent elements are human vital objects modified according to the invention, namely:

-metallized flooring;

- shoes with a spark gap;

-Sports equipment, the design of which provides for the constituent elements of a grounding device;

- grounding of the foot of a person lying on the bed using the contactor electrode and conductor.

Grounding a person’s feet in everyday life can be carried out in various ways and with a different number of constituent elements, depending on the location, shoes and type of human activity. For example, at home, to obtain the Green-floor effect, it is enough to have a metallized floor covering connected to the grounding system and look like barefoot, while the contactor will be a metal grid of the floor covering, or in slippers with a spark gap. When finding a SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) in a production or other room, in addition to a metallized floor covering, it is necessary to have shoes with a spark gap. Shoes with a spark gap allows you to realize the effect of the Green floor also on a walk when walking on the Earth's surface.

The proposed invention is illustrated by drawings.

Shoes modified according to the present invention are supposed to be called shoes with a spark gap.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The technical task of manufacturing shoes with an arrester is to ensure that a person’s foot contacts the surface of the earth or with the grounding system of the room.

The closest analogues of shoes with a spark gap are known, these include:

1. Conductive shoes - ed. c. 2444910, cl. A43c, Ϊ969.

The invention relates to the manufacture of industrial conductive shoes used in the chemical, tire, rubber and other industries, where there is a static electrification of the materials used Ή maintenance personnel. Conductive shoes, containing interconnected upper, inset and main insoles, equipped in the heel of the conductive element of rubber, and the sole of the conductive material.

2. Ttzhσconducting shoes - author. c. S.SH713580, class A43B 7/36, Ϊ992: The invention relates to light industry, in particular to the production of shoes used to protect against electric shock. Conductive shoes are designed to enhance the protective properties by removing a current of industrial frequency of 50 Hz, 600 A, the sole contains less than ^" Ts of conductive elements in the form of 4 pairs of bushings with screws, interconnected by electrical conductors with the formation of a conductive system, which using electrical conductors and electrical connectors connected to workwear.

3. The method of reflexology and a means for reflexology (options) - patent RU 2136327 Cl, 02.21.1996.

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to reflexology, The means for reflexology can be made in the form of platforms for zero with electrical contacts mounted on the base, shoes, insoles or hosiery, in which on the part adjacent to the surface of the soles of the feet are made electrically conductive zones that allow grounding of specific -reflective zones located on the surface of the soles of the feet or soles of the feet over the entire surface.

4. Chuvuv antistatic for stimulation of the reflex zones of the foot - patent RU 2159567 Cl, 01/06/2000.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The invention relates to the production of special antistatic shoes, providing natural stimulation of the reflex zones of the foot. Shoes contain a top, a pillow with a heel made using conductive material in the form of a metal mesh, socks made of conductive fabric and an insole. In the invention, the sole is made of a three-layer one, with a conductive system built into it, made of two parts, an upper and a lower one, each of which has the aforementioned metal mesh made of a thin flexible metal wire and includes contact conductive rods, electrically-connecting intersection nodes the lower mesh with the outer surface of the lower layer of the sole, and the upper mesh with the inner upper surface of the upper layer of the sole, with the upper and lower metal mesh connected to I am waiting for myself as a flexible conductor through a replaceable fuse installed ^ a recess inside the sole, while the aforementioned insole is made of three layers of upper and lower, made of fabric with conductive thread and medium flexible material, all layers sewn together by a conductive thread.

These analogues fully satisfy the technical task of grounding a person’s feet. Moreover, they can solve additional problems originally laid down in these inventions: in the first two cases - the protection of a person from industrial currents, in the other two - the therapeutic effect on the human feet in various diseases. The disadvantage of these analogues is that, due to its main tasks, this shoe is structurally complex, and with its mass production, the complexity of the design will not allow the manufacture of shoes without a significant reduction in its aesthetic characteristics.

The design of the shoe with a spark gap is a rigid fastening of the constituent elements of the grounding means, namely: a contactor 1 located on top of the sole, a conductor 2 and a spark gap 3 located in the lower part of the sole or tab (Fig. L-4).

Contactor electrodes and arresters, as well as conductors in shoes, are made primarily of metal or conductive material in the form of plates of arbitrary shape, necessary for convenient and reliable contact with a person's foot or a metallized floor covering. Alternatively, women's shoes with a spark gap can serve as a conductor as a SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) metal is a heel, and as a discharger, a metal stud. The use of metal electrodes as contactors and arresters will minimize the cost of manufacturing shoes with a spark gap and increase its wear resistance.

Contactors and arresters in the design of shoes can also be located in the front of the sole, depending on the convenience for a person of the manufacturability of shoes.

In the case when insole 4 is present in shoes with a spark gap, this contact may be broken. Therefore, a conductive layer connecting the foot of the person with the shoe contactor 1 must be provided in the insole. This layer can be made in the form of a narrow strip of self-adhesive foil 1, 3 of FIG. 4, or the insole should be made of conductive material, libre other options are possible. This refers to the use of insoles for reflexology, described in the above analogs of shoes with a spark gap. In this case, the contact of the foot with the shoe contactor is carried out due to the conductive thread, which is used to sew the insole.

In most cases of wearing shoes, a person is supposed to wear shoes in socks, stockings, etc. Since the textile layer of socks, etc. is very thin, moreover, this layer is impregnated with a natural then sweat that is an electrolyte (that is, conducting an electric current), this circumstance cannot cause a contact failure of a human foot with an electrode-contactor 1 of a shoe with an arrester (Fig 1- 3)

The flooring modified by the present invention is supposed to be called metallized flooring.

The technical task of metallized floor coverings is to provide an electrical connection between the foot of a person standing on this floor with bare feet or in shoes with a spark gap, and the room grounding system.

For the production of metallized floor carpets, it is proposed to use ordinary floor carpets of domestic and foreign manufacturers, finalizing their design with a metal mesh 6 (Figs. 5-7).

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The grid is made of copper wire with a diameter of -F OD - 0.05 mm. cross-weaving method with a cell size of 5 to 10 mm.

The mesh 6 is fixedly attached to the upper layer of the carpet 5, as shown in FIG. 5, 6, with the help of conductive glue, which ensures electrical contact of the mesh with the foot of a person located Fθ on this carpet.

When laying the carpet, the grid through a metal electrode 9 and a thin electric wire 2 with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 mm, connects the grounding system of the room 9 (Fig. 7). The electrode 9 is a self-adhesive piece of copper foil that adheres to the metallized flooring grid and ensures reliable contact of the grid with a conductor inserted between the grid and the electrode.

Stepping on the proposed carpets with bare feet or in shoes with an arrester, a person will feel the effect of the Green Floor.

There are rooms not equipped with a grounding system. In this case, you can connect the metallized carpet to the heating pipes, which are considered the electrical ground of the building. Connection in this case means fixing the conductor with electrical contact on the metal heating pipe.

The closest analogue to metallized carpeting is the "antistatic carpet" (patent DE 3323656 CL E04 F15 / 02, 1985) and the same revised (RF patent 2264508, CL E04 F15 / 024, 2004). This invention relates to the field of construction, in particular to antistatic plates with carpet, designed for raised floors, mainly in rooms equipped with electronic devices, for which static discharges can cause problems, and for personnel working in these rooms - discomfort. The technical task of this invention is to improve the performance of a plate with a textile coating, by increasing the bending strength of its bearing layer, strengthening the edges of the plate and removing electrostatic charges from its surface caused by the movement of people and SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) equipment on the surface of the floor. The known solution, although equipped with a metal spark gap, which passes through the carrier layer of the plate and is in contact with the textile coating, has a low efficiency of removing electric charges from the surface of the textile coating, including the human body. The reason for this is that the contact of metal arresters with a textile coating occurs only along the edges of the plate, and not over the entire surface (as in the proposed solution), in addition, it is impossible to completely remove static electricity in this case from an employee without shoes with a spark gap (as in the proposed decision).

Manufacturers of floor carpets in different countries also pay great attention to the problem of antistaticity. In particular, Altrol Carpets uses AHTPOH fiber from INVISTA research center (Germany) for the production of floor coverings, which is supplemented with carbon core filament, which allows the carpet to become antistatic.

These antistatic carpets, with its positive property of reducing the amount of static electricity in the room, do not allow solving the main problem - the removal of static electricity from the human body. This problem can be solved by implementing the present invention, and the use of the above antistatic floor coverings as the basis for metallized flooring significantly enhance the effect of the Green floor.

The effect of the Green-floor indoors can also be with ordinary carpets. For this, it is necessary to lay a metal grid on the floor surface and connect it to the grounding system before laying the usual carpet. Necessary conditions - the carpet should be single-layer, see Fig. 5, because the presence of an intermediate layer (felt? Fig. 6, etc.) between the pile layer and the grid will not allow contact between the foot of a person and a grounded grid, and therefore will not allow to realize the Green floor effect.

It is very easy to realize the Green-floor effect in rooms with floor coverings, using instead of carpet coverings a conductive SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) linoleums already existing in the industry. In this case, the laying technology is similar to the technology indicated above with conventional carpets.

A side positive effect for rooms that use metallized flooring can be considered shielding the floor of the room from electromagnetic ^* and other radiation. The degree of shielding in this case depends on the size of the mesh cell and the thickness of the wire.

Another possible implementation of the Green-floor effect can be achieved by connecting a grounded contactor electrode 1 of FIG. ^ To the feet of a person sleeping on a bed or in a hospital bed of a hospital, medical dispensary in the process of rehabilitation. As the contactor 1, a metal electrode (preferably a copper one) is used, connected to the grounding system of room 8 using a thin, crusty insulated electric wire 2 with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 mm, soldered to the electrode. The electrode is attached to the foot of a person with an elastic band or simply pushed into a worn toe.

Another possible implementation of the Green-floor effect can be carried out in sports simulators, for example, exercise bikes and a treadmill. As a contactor, a rubber track and pedal simulators will be used. In this case, it is necessary to make the coating of the track electrically conductive and ground it, and fasten the contactor electrodes on the pedals. In this case, the metal structures of the simulators will serve as conductors. Similarly, as in the case of metallized floor coverings, the athlete on the simulators should be barefoot or in shoes, with a spark gap.

The electrodes are connected to the conductors by soldering or pressing, or otherwise, providing reliable electrical contact between them.
