Appeal No. 2004 1681
Application No. 09/749,216
14. The electrostatic discharge device of
claim 10 wherein said resistor comprises a pattern
made of resistive material deposited on said inner
surface.
15. The electrostatic discharge device of
claim 14 wherein said resistive pattern having a
spark gap constructed therein.
21. The electrostatic discharge device of
claim 10 wherein said wallplate is formed at least
partially from a material having high specific
resistivity, and wherein said resistor is formed
integrally to said wallplate.
22. An electrostatic discharge device
comprising an electrical fixture wallplate having
an electrode means for providing a contact point,
suspended therefrom; said electrode means being in
electrical communication with an electrical ground
by electrostatic discharge circuit means.
23. An electrostatic discharge device comprising:
an electrical switch having an operating handle;
a contact electrode deposited on said handle;
an electrical discharge circuit having at
least two terminal points and comprising at least
one resistor;
Wherein said circuit having a first terminal
point in electrical communication with said
electrode and the other terminal point in
electrical communication with an electrical
grounding point.
25. The electrostatic discharge device of
claim 23 further comprising a wallplate having an
inner surface, and wherein said electrode extends
proximally to said inner surface; and,
wherein said resistor comprises a resistive
pattern deposited on said inner surface, said
pattern having at least one end thereof in
proximity to or in contact with said electrode.
