Adjustable, elastic static control wristband

A device for eliminating the buildup of an electrostatic charge on an individual, comprising:

• first strap means for contacting a limb of the individual, said first strap means having an electrically conductive portion, and first and second ends;
• a connector case attached to said conductive portion of said first strap means and having connector means for electrically connecting said conductive portion of said strap means to an electrically conductive tether;
• second strap means having first and second ends, said first end of said second strap means being attached to said second end of said first strap means, said second strap means being electrically insulative and elastic;
• clasp means for adjusting the effective length of said second strap means, said first end of said first strap means being attached to said clasp means, and said second end of said second strap means being attached to said clasp means, and said first and second strap means, connector case and clasp means defining a closed loop for encircling the limb of the individual.

An adjustable wristband for dissipating excess electrostatic charge from an individual, comprising:

• first, inelastic strap means for contacting a limb of the individual, said first strap means being electrically conductive at least along its inner surface, and constructed from an inelastic but flexible fabric having conductive yarns;
• second, elastic strap means surrounding said first strap means, said second strap means being wider than said first strap means and being electrically insulative, and constructed from an elastic, electrically insulative fabric;
• guide means for aligning said second strap means with said first strap means;
• a connector case attached to said first and second strap means and having connector means for electrically connecting said first strap means to a grounding tether;
• and
• clasp means for adjusting the effective length of said second strap means, said first and second strap means, connector case and clasp means defining a closed loop for encircling the limb of the individual.

An adjustable wristband for dissipating excess electrostatic charge from an individual, comprising:

• first, inelastic strap means for contacting a limb of the individual, said first strap means being electrically conductive at least along its inner surface, and constructed from a nonexpandable but flexible chain of conductive links;
• second, elastic strap means surrounding said first strap means, said second strap means being wider than said first strap means and being electrically insulative, and constructed from an elastic, electrically insulative fabric;
• guide means for aligning said second strap means with said first strap means;
• a connector case attached to said first and second strap means and having connector means for electrically connecting said first strap means to a grounding tether;
• and
• clasp means for adjusting the effective length of said second strap means, said first and second strap means, connector case and clasp means defining a closed loop for encircling the limb of the individual.
