ABSTRACT:
The present invention in some embodiments provides for an apparatus comprised of a conductive strap and a lotion dispensing device connected to the conductive strap. The lotion dispensing device is comprised of a lotion storage device such as a reservoir, a permeable membrane, or a sponge. Preferably a person would put on the conductive strap and the lotion dispensing device in order to eliminate or reduce the transmission of static discharge to electronic circuitry and to minimize static discharge events that could interrupt the operation of electronic systems. The conductive strap includes a plurality of holes and the plurality of holes. The permeable membrane may be of a material, which dispenses lotion from the permeable membrane at a rate which is increased with heat. The size of holes in the conductive strap may increase in response to greater heat levels. The lotion dispensing device may be comprised of a reservoir filled with lotion. A grounding wire is preferably connected from the conductive strap to ground and preferably incorporates a resistance of about 1 mega-ohms. The conductive strap is preferably in the form of an elastic wrist band or watch band.
