Abstract: An electric potential therapy device includes a negative voltage applying means, an electrostatic charge removing means, and a controller that controls the negative voltage applying means and the electrostatic charge removing means in a predetermined therapy time in which a therapy cycle is repeated a plurality of times, the therapy cycle consisting of a first and second period. The negative voltage applying means includes a negative voltage generator and an application electrode. The negative voltage generated by the negative voltage generator is applied to the living body through the application electrode. The controller charges the living body to a negative potential in the first period by controlling the negative voltage applying means to apply the negative voltage to the living body, and puts the living body into a non-charged state by controlling the electrostatic charge removing means to remove electrostatic charges from inside the living body in the second period.

Abstract: A laminated brace such as a support or the like capable of quickly absorbing perspiration produced on the surface of a user's body that is in contact with the brace and releasing it to the exterior of the brace so as to prevent the contact surface from getting sweaty, and a laminated sheet such as a bathroom rug or the like capable of quickly releasing absorbed moisture to the exterior of the sheet so as to be dried in a short time. A material formed by compression molding of an open cell urethane foam is used as an inner material (22). A liner material (21) placed over each of the inner and outer sides of the inner material is made of fibers between which the spaces are narrow. Thus, perspiration (52) can be wicked by the liner material to be released through a great number of channels formed from open cells (33) within the inner material to the exterior of the brace.
