ABSTRACT:
A device for the protection of electronic equipment placed in public locations, such as electronic gasoline pumps and automatic teller machines, from damage by electrostatic charges on the bodies of individuals. The device is based on a movable, electrically conductive surface, which normally prevents access to the electronic equipment. As the user displaces the conductive surface in order to gain access to the equipment, charges will flow from the body of the user to the conductive surface and then to a grounded structure.
