  • Publication number: 20210045466
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection assembly includes a shirt that is worn on a user when the user is working with electronic equipment which is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. A set of first insulators is provided and each of the first insulators is woven into fabric of the shirt. Each of the first insulators is comprised of an electrically capacitive material to absorb static electrical energy in the user's body. A set of second insulators is provided and each of the second set of insulators is woven into fabric of the shirt. Each of the second insulators is comprised of an electrically insulating material. Thus, the second insulators inhibit electrical communication between the electronic device and the first insulators. In this way the potential for electrostatic discharge between the user and the electronic device is reduced.
