Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a static dissipative coat-like outer garment, more particularly to an ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) smock which provides excellent and reliable static dissipative and contamination protection.
  • ESD Electrostatic Discharge
  • a static dissipative or ESD smock is commonly used in electronic devices manufacturing environment to drain static charges from the operation personnel. It is also important that such ESD smock ideally be groundable so as to enable any static charge that may be floating or residing on the ESD smock generated through the personnel’s movement or transferred from the inner clothing by static charge induction be drained away when the ESD smock is grounded.
  • the pathway in which these electrostatic charges are drained from the ESD smock can be through a groundable point strategically located at certain spot or area of the smock as highlighted in Patent No. US5548469 or through sleeve collar of such ESD smock as highlighted in the PCT Application No. PCT/MY2009/000061 and WO2009139617.
  • Japan publication JP 2000178810 A with its representative drawing in fig A (1) highlights an antistatic garment with electroconductive fiber that brought into contact with pressure (elastic band) to the wrist of a human body.
  • FIG. 1 shows the use of such a technique in the applicant’s previous PCT application on an improved ESD smock (application No. PCT/MY2008/000048).
  • the comfortably and tightly fit sleeve collar design also ensures that any foreign contamination is prevented from falling out from the sleeve or the body or inner clothing of the personnel to the electronic assembly area.
  • the present invention consists of a replaceable elastic wrist band that can easily attach and remove from the sleeve of a smock with the helps of a pair of attachment means preferably a pair of Velco tapes.
  • the objective is to extend the durability and usable shelf-life of an ESD smock to achieve economic advantage and commercial attractiveness.
  • Such interchangeable elastic wrist band can be attached or looped onto the sleeve in various means through the use of Velco tapes, snap-on buttons, standard buttons or zipper type fastener, etc.
  • the most preferred means is the Velco tape.
  • a pair of Velco tapes is sewn onto the outer side of the sleeve of a smock in such a manner that it provides a space gap for receiving an elastic wrist band looped over the sleeve at the space gap in between the pair of Velco tapes.
  • the pair of Velco tapes is properly aligned and hold together to form a pocket for enclosing the elastic band therein so as to form a smock with replaceable elastic sleeve.
  • an additional piece of flap is sewn onto the sleeve in such a way to allow formation of a pocket to enclose the elastic band.
  • various sizes of the elastic rubber band can be easily placed into the pocket and simply sealed-up by the Velco band at ease.
  • This simple design also ensures that the rubber band can be easily replaced as and when needed., eliminating the need to replace the complete ESD smock thereby achieving attractive cost saving in daily real-life use.
  • the invention achieves an easy-to-manage automatic fail-proof compliance system. Once the correct size of the elastic band is chosen for a worker, there is no further or special instruction to him/her is required. Workers just put on the smock and use. That's all. This solves the problem of the needs to have more monitoring and control over the worker's body-to-ground grounding system and simplifies ESD control procedure. This invention is especially useful in a labour intensive assembly operations in a typical electronics manufacturing industry.
  • Figure 1 depicts a partial perspective view of a hand with the ESD smock of the prior art
  • Figure 3 shows the illustrations of an ESD smock with interchangeable elastic bands of the second embodiment of the present invention which are shown in Figures 3a to 3c.
  • Figure 4 shows the illustrations of different kinds of elastic wrist bands of the present invention which are shown in Figures 4a to 4c.
  • Figure 2 shows the end-most portion sleeve (10) of an electrostatic dissipative smock having a replaceable elastic wrist band (11) of the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • a pair of attachment means (12) with its first attachment means (12a) located adjacent to the end-most opening (13) of the sleeve (10) and its second matching attachment means (12b) located at a distance away from the first attachment means (12a) of the sleeve (10), thereby providing a space gap (14) in between the first (12a) and second (12b) attachment means to allow the elastic wrist band (11) to be looped over thereon.
  • the first and second attachment means (12a, 12b) of the Velco tapes type of attachment are the male and female tapes respectively.
  • the first attachment means (12a) is sewn onto an external side adjacent to the end-most opening (13) encircling the sleeve (10) and the second attachment means (12b) is also sewn onto the external side at a distance away from the first attachment means (12a) encircling the sleeve (10) as shown in Figure 2a.
  • the elastic wrist band (11) is then looped over the sleeve (10) at the space gap (14) of the sleeve (10) as shown in Figure 2b.
  • the pair of attachment means (12) is attached together by outwardly folding the end-most portion of the sleeve (10) to bring the first attachment means (12a) to the second attachment means (12b) and with proper alignment to be pressed on to enable them to hold together for forming a pocket as shown in Figure 2c.
  • the elastic wrist band (11) is enclosed within the pocket of the sleeve (10) to form an elastic sleeve smock of the present invention.
  • the elastic wrist band (11) enclosed inside the sleeve can be easily changed due to its unique design to suit the wrist-size of a wearer.
  • the elastic band (11) can be made of natural or synthetic rubber or mixture of materials to provide the proper elasticity.
  • the present invention allows elastic rubber bands of different circumference to be inserted into the pocket. This is to accommodate for different wrist sizes.
  • This inventive feature is very important as the prior arts which adopts a one-size-fits-all design often utilizes elastic rubber bands of fixed circumference. When the smock is worn on a relatively larger wrist of a person, this will tend to over-stretched the rubber band and thus reducing the elasticity and lifespan of the rubber band. This reduces the reliability of the smock.
  • the elastic rubber band can be replaced periodically. The frequency in replacing these elastic rubber bands can then be arranged as part of operation maintenance before any possible failure can occur. This is essence solves the problem currently prevalent in the prior arts.
  • an additional piece of flap (15) is attached to the sleeve (10) as an alternative option to create a pocket for enclosing the elastic wrist band (11). It can be done by having the flap (15) sewn in circular ring onto the sleeve (10) located at a predetermined distance from the end-most opening of the sleeve (10) as shown in Figure 3a. A pair of Velco tapes (12) is then sewn in similar manner as before to provide a space gap (14) with the complementing faces facing inwards towards each other.
  • the two methods of applications as described above can be applied to the internal (reverse) side of the sleeve of such ESD garment.
  • a pair of attachment means (12) is sewn onto the internal side adjacent the end-most opening (13) encircling the sleeve (10) as shown in Figure 4a, or onto an additional piece of flap (15) which is attached to the internal side (not shown) of the sleeve (10) to create a pocket for enclosing the elastic wrist band (11).
  • the wearer may overturn the sleeve (10) of the garment inside out to enable the elastic wrist band (11) to be looped over the sleeve (10) at the space gap (14) with ease.
  • the pair of attachment means (12) is then attached together by inwardly folding the end-most portion of the sleeve (10) to form a pocket as shown in Figure 4b.
  • the wrist band (11) is enclosed within the pocket of the sleeve (10) as shown in Figure 4c.
