Abstract
This disclosure is concerned with a two-piece, similar metal-plated plastic mating stud and eyelet electrode structure for electrocardiograph or similar physiological or bioelectric measurements, embodying internal resilient ring and groove sealing members for preventing corrosive electrolytic gel interactions with the interfaces of the electrode assembly that can otherwise produce erratic electrical performance.
Claims6
An electrode structure for electrocardiograph and related physiological measurements and the like having, in combination, cooperative thin plastic stud and eyelet members, each plated with the same highly conductive surface, said members having a mated interface and cooperative flange surfaces extending from said interface, means for securing an electrolytic gel to the conductive surface of the eyelet and means for inhibiting leakage of the gel into said interface between the members, said leakage inhibiting means including cooperative sealing ring and groove means in the respective flange surfaces of said members for providing positive swaged lock-sealing therebetween.
