Patent ID: 8481867

Claim:
A compressible grounding pad with two conductor layers separated by a compressible foam layer, the pad comprising: (A) A first conductor layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces; (B) A first adhesive layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, the top facial surface of the first adhesive layer in direct contact with a part of the bottom facial surface of the first conductor layer, the first conductor layer extending beyond the first adhesive layer; (C) A foam layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, the top facial surface of the foam layer in direct contact with the bottom facial surface of the first adhesive layer; (D) A second adhesive layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, the top facial surface of the second adhesive layer in direct contact with the bottom facial surface of the foam layer; (E) A second conductor layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, a part of the top facial surface of the second conductor layer in direct contact with the bottom facial surface of the second adhesive layer, the second conductor layer extending beyond the second adhesive layer such that a part of the top facial surface of the second conductor layer joins with a part of the bottom facial surface of the first conductor layer; (F) An electrically conductive third adhesive layer having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, the top facial surface of the third adhesive layer in direct contact with the bottom facial surface of the second conductor layer; and (G) An optional release liner having opposing first (top) and second (bottom) facial surfaces, the top facial surface of the release liner in direct contact with the bottom facial surface of the third adhesive layer.
