Abstract: A clothes dryer static charge dissipating device, system therewith, and method of reducing static charge build-up in clothes tumbling in a dryer drum are provided. The clothes dryer static charge dissipating device includes a flexible conductive member extending between a first end and a second end. The first end is configured for attachment to a surface of a dryer drum for conjoint rotation therewith and the second end is free to extend radially inwardly from the surface of the dryer drum during rotational movement of the dryer drum. A conductive ground member is in operable electrical communication with the flexible conductive member and is configured for operable attachment to an electrical ground of the dryer drum.

Abstract: A reusable clothes dryer static charge storage device and method of reducing static cling within clothes while tumbling in a dryer is provided. The device includes an outer housing having a conductive layer with a first conductivity and a capacitor received in the housing. The capacitor has conductive first and second walls spaced from one another. The device further includes a conductive member having a second conductivity that is greater than the first conductivity, with the conductive member being in direct electrical contact with one of the first and second walls of the capacitor, with the conductive member being spaced from the housing conductive layer by a gap. The first and second walls store the static charge accumulated from the clothing while tumbling in the dryer, whereupon the static charge is discharged to ground at a selected time.
