Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an apparatus for diverting static electricity away from a treadmill. The apparatus includes a diverting apparatus, consisting of a conducting piece (33), a conductive strip (32) and a connection bolt (31). The diverting apparatus is mounted on the surface of a platform (27) without influencing the smooth rotation of the continuous belt (25) for carrying off the static electricity produced by friction within a walking area of the treadmill (20) by providing a direct grounding path through the connection of the other end of the conductive strip (32) to the ground. <IMAGE>
