Electrostatic dissipative garment with interchangeable elastic bands

Abstract

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment having a pair of sleeves ( 10 ) which provides elastic contact between the wrists of a wearer and said sleeves ( 10 ), wherein each of said sleeves ( 10 ) comprising of a pair of attachment means ( 12 ) provided on the sleeve in such a manner that it creates a space gap ( 14 ) provided in between the attachment means ( 12 ) for receiving an elastic wrist band ( 11 ) looped thereon to enable the formation of a pocket when said sleeve ( 10 ) is folded with proper alignment to enable said first attachment means ( 12 a ) attached and hold together with said second matching attachment means ( 12 b ).

1 . An electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment having at least one sleeve ( 10 ) provided with an elastic contact(s) between the wrist of a wearer and said sleeve ( 10 ), wherein said sleeve ( 10 ) comprising of a pair of attachment means ( 12 ) with the first attachment means ( 12   a ) located adjacent to an opening ( 13 ) of said sleeve ( 10 ) and a second matching attachment means ( 12   b ) located at a distance away from said first attachment means ( 12   a ) of said sleeve ( 10 ), thereby providing a space gap ( 14 ) in between said first and second attachment means ( 12   a ,  12   b ) for receiving an elastic wrist band ( 11 ) looped thereon to enable the formation of a pocket when said sleeve ( 10 ) is folded with proper alignment to enable said first attachment means ( 12   a ) attached and hold together with said second matching attachment means ( 12   b   
     
     
         2 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pair of attachment means includes but not limited to Velco tapes, snap-on buttons, standard buttons and zipper type fastener. 
     
     
         3 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said pair of attachment means is preferably a pair of Velco tapes. 
     
     
         4 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said pair of attachment means is encircling sewn onto the external side of the sleeve ( 10 ) of said garment. 
     
     
         5 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said pair of attachment means is encircling sewn onto the internal side of the sleeve ( 10 ) of said garment. 
     
     
         6 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said elastic wrist band ( 11 ) is an elastic band made of natural or synthetic rubber or mixture of materials to provide sufficient elasticity. 
     
     
         7 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said garment is a coat-like outer garment such as a smock. 
     
     
         8 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment having at least one sleeve ( 10 ) provided with an elastic contact(s) between the wrist of a wearer and said sleeve ( 10 ), wherein said sleeve ( 10 ) comprising of a piece of flap ( 15 ) attached to said sleeve ( 10 ) having a pair of attachment means ( 12 ) with a first attachment means ( 12   a ) provided adjacent to an opening of said sleeve ( 10 ) and a second attachment means ( 12   b ) provided at a complementing surface of said flap ( 15 ), thereby providing a space gap ( 14 ) in between said first and second attachment means ( 12   a ,  12   b ) for receiving an elastic wrist band ( 11 ) looped thereon to enable the formation of a pocket when said flap ( 15 ) is upwardly folded over to the sleeve ( 10 ) with proper alignment to enable said second attachment means ( 12   b ) attached and hold together with said first attachment means ( 12   a ). 
     
     
         9 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said flap ( 15 ) is sewn in circular ring onto the external side of said sleeve ( 10 ). 
     
     
         10 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said flap ( 15 ) is sewn in circular ring onto the internal side of said sleeve ( 10 ). 
     
     
         11 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said pair of attachment means includes but no limited to Velco tapes, snap-on buttons, standard buttons and zipper type fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said pair of attachment means is preferably a pair of Velco tapes. 
     
     
         13 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein said pair of attachment means is encircling sewn onto the sleeve ( 10 ) and flap ( 15 ) respectively. 
     
     
         14 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said elastic wrist band ( 11 ) is an elastic band made of natural or synthetic rubber or mixture of materials to provide sufficient elasticity. 
     
     
         15 . The electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said garment is a coat-like outer garment such as a smock.
