Abstract: The present invention relates to a protective ionizing laminate (PIL) static eliminating device that uses a wide variety of laminate materials to protect ionizing points that eliminate static. In an embodiment, the protective encasement is made from laminate and in others it is made from a substrate onto which of electrically conductive or static dissipative material is printed or placed. The present invention includes a plurality of electrically conductive or static dissipative material or microfibers, wherein the plurality of electrically conductive or static dissipative material or microfibers forms a pattern and a ground in communication with the electrically conductive or static dissipative microfibers or material. The laminate materials form an encasement or enclosure of the electrically conductive or static dissipative microfibers or material and at least a portion of the ground.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a protective ionizing device, or protective static eliminator, and methods, systems, apparatus and kits using the device. The device has a surface having a series of (e.g., one or more) grooves or gaps, each groove defines a space; and a multiplicity of ionizing points suspended in the space, just below the upper surface of the device. The ionizing points can be suspended on braided microfibers, on an extruded surface in the groove, on an elastic cord, or on a wire core. The device is useful for the efficient elimination of static charge build-up on a surface of insulative material while maintaining and protecting the ionizing points.
