Appeal No. 2004 1681
Application No. 09/749,216
1. An electrostatic discharge device
comprising:
an electrical fixture wallplate having an
outer surface and an inner surface, said wallplate
having at least one grounding point;
a contact electrode affixed substantially
directly to said wallplate;
an electrostatic discharge circuit, comprising
at least one resistor connected between a first and
a second terminal points, and wherein the first
terminal point is electrically coupled to said
contact electrode, and the second terminal point is
electrically coupled to said grounding point.
9. The electrostatic discharge device of claim
1 wherein said contact electrode comprises an
electrically conductive or resistive pattern
deposited on the outer surface of said wallplate.
10. An electrostatic discharge device
comprising:
an electrical fixture wallplate having an
outer surface and an inner surface, said outer
surface having at least one contact electrode
deposited substantially directly thereupon;
an electrostatic discharge circuit attached to
said wallplate, said circuit having a first and a
second terminal points, said discharge circuit
comprises at least one resistor; and wherein the
first terminal point is electrically coupled to
said contact electrode; and,
a grounding point electrically coupled to said
second terminal point.
12. The electrostatic discharge device of
claim 11 wherein said electrode is deposited on or
in proximity to the outer periphery of said outer
surface.
