A contact shoe comprising a sole of electrically conductive material and being provided with a flexible body-contact string (12) of electrically conductive material, said string being in electrically conductive connection with at least the sole, characterized in that it is designed like a sandal and consists of a foot plate (1) and straps (4-11) starting from said foot plate and meeting at the top, and that the foot plate (1) and the straps (4-11) consist of a one single continuous piece of flat material.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kontaktschuh, mit einer Sohle aus elektrisch leitfähigem Material.The invention relates to a contact shoe with a sole made of electrically conductive material.

Ein solcher Schuh wurde bereits von solchen Personen verwendet, die empfindliche elektrische Bauelemente handhaben und montieren, um zu gewährleisten, daß sie das gleiche elektrische Potential bzw. den gleichen elektrischen Ladungszustand haben wie ihre Umgebung. Empfindliche IC's werden nämlich bei Berührung mit der Hand leicht zerstört, wenn die erwähnten Personen ein anderes elektrisches Potential haben als die IC's. Das Potential der IC's ist normalerweise das der Umgebung, also das des Bodens oder der Erde.Such a shoe has already been used by those who handle and assemble sensitive electrical components to ensure that they have the same electrical potential or the same electrical charge as their surroundings. Sensitive IC's are easily destroyed when touched by hand if the persons mentioned have a different electrical potential than the IC's. The potential of the IC's is usually that of the environment, that is, that of the soil or the earth.

Zwar sind Kontaktschuhe der vorstehend beschriebenen Art infolge des Fußschweisses auch wirksam, wenn die sie tragenden Personen Strümpfe an den Füßen haben; jedoch hängt der Kontakt dann wesentlich von dem Grad der Schweißabsonderung und von der Stellung des Fußes im Schuh, also von der Größe der Kontaktfläche zwischen Fuß und Sohle ab. In ungünstigen Fällen erfüllt der Schuh dann die ihm zugedachte Funktion nur ungenügend oder überhaupt nicht, so daß es doch zur Zerstörung der empfindlichen Bauelemente kommen kann.Contact shoes of the type described above are also effective due to the sweat of the feet when the people wearing them have stockings on their feet; however, the contact then depends essentially on the degree of perspiration and on the position of the foot in the shoe, that is to say on the size of the contact area between the foot and the sole. In unfavorable cases, the shoe then fulfills its intended function only insufficiently or not at all, so that the sensitive components can nevertheless be destroyed.

Das vorstehend beschriebene Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Kontaktschuh vermieden, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß er mit einem flexiblen Körper- Kontaktband aus elektrisch leitfähigem Material versehen ist, welches zumindest mit der Sohle elektrisch leitend verbunden ist. Das Körper-Kontaktband kann mit dem Körper der den Kontaktschuh tragenden Person in einen direkten bleibenden und definierten Kontakt gebracht werden, so daß mit Sicherheit gewährleistet ist, daß der Körper auf dem gleichen Potential wie die Sohle des Kontaktschuhs und damit auf dem Potential der Erde bzw. der Umgebung der Person liegt.The problem described above is avoided according to the invention by a contact shoe, which is characterized in that it has a flexible body Contact tape made of electrically conductive material is provided, which is at least electrically conductively connected to the sole. The body contact band can be brought into direct and defined contact with the body of the person wearing the contact shoe, so that it is ensured with certainty that the body is at the same potential as the sole of the contact shoe and thus at the potential of the earth or the surroundings of the person.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, den Kontaktschuh als über einen normalen Schuh zu ziehenden Überschuh auszubilden. In diesem Falle braucht also eine empfindliche Bauelemente handhabende oder montierende Person ihre normalen Schuhs gar nicht erst auszuziehen, sondern kann den bzw. die Überschuhe über einen bzw. beide normalen Schuhe ziehen.It is particularly advantageous to design the contact shoe as an overshoe to be pulled over a normal shoe. In this case, a sensitive component handling or assembling person does not even have to take off his normal shoe, but can pull the overshoe (s) over one or both normal shoes.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird nicht nur die Sohle des Kontaktschuhs, sondern der Kontaktschuh in seiner Gesamtheit aus elektrisch leitfähigem Material hergestellt. Dieses kann beispielsweise Leder, Gummi, Polyäthylen oder ein anderes flexibles Material sein, welches mit Kohlenstoff oder einem anderen leitfähigen Stoff angereichert bzw. getränkt ist.Advantageously, not only the sole of the contact shoe, but the contact shoe as a whole is made of electrically conductive material. This can be, for example, leather, rubber, polyethylene or another flexible material that is enriched or impregnated with carbon or another conductive substance.

Der Kontaktschuh, insbesondere in seiner Ausbildung als Überschuh kann nach Art einer Sandale ausgebildet sein und aus einer Fußplatte mit von dieser ausgehenden oben zusammengeführten Riemchen bestehen.The contact shoe, in particular in its design as an overshoe, can be designed in the manner of a sandal and consist of a footplate with straps emanating from the top of the shoe.

Ein weiterer Vorschlag zur praktischen Realisierung des Kontaktschuhs bzw. Kontaktüberschuhs als Sandale besteht darin, daß vom Hackenteil der Fußplatte ein hinteres und zu beiden Seiten je ein seitliches Riem- chen ausgeht, daß vom Vorderfußteil der Fußplatte ein vorderes und zu beiden Seiten je zwei seitliche Riemchen ausgehen, daß die vier seitlichen Riemchen, die vom Vorderfußteil ausgehen, an dem vorderen Riemchen befestigt sind, und daß die vom Hackenteil ausgehenden Riemchen und das vordere Riemchen Schlitze aufweisen, durch die das Körper-Kontaktband hindurchgeführt ist.A further proposal for the practical implementation of the contact shoe or contact shoe as a sandal is that a rear strap on the heel part of the footplate and a side strap on both sides. che n assumes that from the forefoot part of the footplate a front and on both sides two side straps extend, that the four side straps originating from the forefoot part are fastened to the front strap, and that the straps originating from the heel part and the front strap Have slots through which the body contact tape is passed.

Die vom Vorderfußteil ausgehenden seitlichen Riemchen sollten mit mehreren Verstellöchern versehen sein, um denKontaktschuh bzw. Kontaktüberschuh an den Fuß bzw. den normalen Schuh der Person anzupassen.The side straps extending from the forefoot part should be provided with several adjustment holes in order to adapt the contact shoe or contact shoe cover to the person's foot or normal shoe.

Besonders einfach und billig läßt sich der Kontaktschuh bzw. Kontaktüberschuh dann herstellen, wenn die Fußplatte und die Riemchen aus einem Stück Flachmaterial bestehen.The contact shoe or contact shoe cover can be produced particularly easily and cheaply if the footplate and the straps consist of a piece of flat material.

Das Körperkontaktband sollte ebenfalls mit mehreren Verstellöchern versehen sein, um es eng an die betreffende Körperstelle anpassen zu können, ohne daß es zu einer Abschnürung kommt. Eine geeignete Körperstelle ist beispielsweise die Beinverengung zwischen Knie und Wadenmuskel.The body contact band should also be provided with several adjustment holes in order to be able to adapt it closely to the body part in question, without causing constriction. A suitable part of the body is, for example, the narrowing of the legs between the knee and calf muscle.

Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag sollte das Körper-Kontaktband so lang sein, daß es bis in den Bauchbereich der den Kontaktschuh tragenden Person erreicht. Dies ist beispielsweise bei Frauen, die Strumpfhosen tragen, zweckmäßig. Das Körperkontaktband kann dann um die Taille gelegt werden.According to a further proposal, the body contact band should be long enough to reach the belly area of the person wearing the contact shoe. This is useful, for example, for women who wear tights. The body contact band can then be placed around the waist.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Kontaktüberschuhs

Der in Figur 1 dargestellt Kontaktüberschuh ist nach Art einer Sandale ausgebildet, die die betreffende Person über einen normalen Schuh anlegt.The contact overshoe shown in FIG. 1 is designed in the manner of a sandal which the person concerned wears over a normal shoe.

Der Uberschuh besteht aus einer Fußplatte 1. Vom Hackenteil 3 der Fußplatte 1 gehen zwei seitliche Riemchen 9, 11 und ein hinteres Riemchen 1o aus. Vom Vorderfußteil 2 der Fußplatte 1 gehen ein vorderes Riemchen 6 sowie vier seitliche Riemchen 4,5,7,8 aus. Die beiden seitlichen Riemchen 4 und 8 einerseits und die beiden seitlichen Riemchen 5 und 7 andererseits sind über der Fußplatte zusammengeführt und an dem vorderen Riemchen 6 mittels knopfartigen Befe-stigungselementen 13, 14 befestigt. Die Riemchen 4,5,7,8 weisen dazu, wie man der Figur 2 entnehmen kann, Durchstecklöcher für die knopfartigen Befestigungselemente 13, 14 auf.The overshoe consists of a base plate 1. Two side straps 9, 11 and a rear strap 10 extend from the heel part 3 of the base plate 1. From the forefoot part 2 of the footplate 1, a front strap 6 and four side straps 4, 5, 7, 8 start. The two side straps 4 and 8 on the one hand and the two side straps 5 and 7 on the other hand are brought together over the base plate and fastened to the front strap 6 by means of button-like fastening elements 13, 14. The straps 4,5,7,8 have, as can be seen in FIG. 2, push-through holes for the button-like fastening elements 13, 14.

Die vier hinteren Riemchen 9,10,11 und das vordere Riemchen 6 sind außerdem mit Durchsteckschlitzen 16 für ein Körper-Kontaktband 12 versehen. Das Körper- Kontaktband 12 weist an einem Ende Verstellöcher 17 auf, durch die ein knopfartiges Befestigungselement 18 hindurchführbar ist, so daß das Körper-Kontaktband 12 mit seinem durch die Schlitze 11 hindurchgeführten Bereich eine Befestigungsschlinge bildet, die die Fußfessel der den Überschuh tragenden Person umspannt.The four rear straps 9, 0 , 11 and the front straps 6 are also provided with push-through slots 16 for a body contact strip 12. The body contact band 12 has at one end adjustment holes 17 through which a button-like fastening element 18 can be passed, so that the body contact band 12 with its area passed through the slots 11 forms a fastening loop which spans the ankle of the person wearing the shoe cover .

Das freie Ende des Körper-Kontaktbandes wird bis unterhalb des Knies hinausgeführt und als Schlinge um diesen Teil des Beines gelegt. Dazu weist das Körper-Kontaktband 2o an seinem Ende Verstellöcher 2o auf, durch die ein knopfartiges Befestigungselement 19 hindurchgesteckt wird.The free end of the body contact band is led out below the knee and looped around this part of the leg. For this purpose, the body contact strip 2o has adjustment holes 2o at its end through which a button-like fastening element 19 is inserted.
