ABSTRACT:
An adjustable, conductive body strap utilizing a connector securing a strip of material held in a closed loop with a mechanical connector with the interior surface of the strip of material being electrically conductive. An electrical connector connects the conductive surface of the strip of material to a connection point to provide for external electrical ground connection. The mechanical connector semi-permanently secures one end of the strip of material in place. The connector adjustably secures the opposite end of the strip of material utilizing a recess into which a transverse bar is mounted with a plurality of spikes facing the exterior of the connector. The strip of material passes first under the transverse bar and then back over the transverse bar being impaled upon the plurality of spikes. A cover, preferably hinged, then secures the strip of material over the plurality of spikes once it is suitably adjusted completing the adjustable connection. An electrically conductive back plate connects both ends of the strip of material to the electrical connection point.
