Abstract (en)

[origin: JPS6466358A] PURPOSE: To stabilize leak resistance by a method wherein a voltage applied on a tile-form element made of ceramic having conductivity is dispersed through a conductive means laid on the side of the tile-form element or a tile surface. CONSTITUTION: A conductive tile 1 is electrically connected to a conduction means 4 through a side 3, a joint between tiles is filled with a joint filling material 7, the means 4 is extended to the end of a floor covering, and grounded through, for example, a piezoelectric terminal. Further, when a tile element 1 has a surface on which conductive glaze is applied, the conductive glaze is extended to the side 3 of the element 1 and brought into contact with the means 4. By selecting the number of contacts and the length of each element 1, leakage value is controlled and the same load dispersion capacity is provided by the element 1 having the same resistance value. This constitution prevents the occurrence of instability and a change of leakage resistance due to deterioration with the lapse of time.
