ABSTRACT:
An antistatic chairmat for preventing electrical shocks due to triboelectricity. The chairmat consists of a transparent plastic material and includes an array of semiconductive inserts with a ground connection. The preferred design incorporates a conductive or semiconductive lower layer, and an insulative intermediate layer which may be a printed design, or sheet. The lower conductive or semiconductive layer provides electrical continuity to ground via studs at the bottom of the semiconductive inserts. An alternative antistatic chairmat includes a plurality of semiconductive layers bridged by one or more conductive grounding clips.
