PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing (-)electric charge in a simple way without requiring any electric source, fan, filter, etc. and for continuing it to be maintained, and also a means for applying this method to a human body and a device.SOLUTION: By the method for electrostatic charging, a sponge tube 2 made of nitrile rubber usually charged with near zero or (+) static electricity is brought into tight contact with the outer circumferential surface of a silicone rubber tube 3 usually charged with (-) static electricity, so that the negatively charged silicone rubber tube 3 is charged with (-) static electricity for continuously maintaining the charged state. The method is applicable to stimulation of pressure points on a hand and fingers, various devices using the static electricity, etc.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】【選択図】電源、ファン、フィルター等を必要としない簡単な方法で(-)の電荷を作り出し、其れを持続させて保持する方法、及びその方法を利用して身体や装置等に応用する方法を提供する。【解決手段】静電気が通常(-)に帯電しているシリコーンゴムチューブ3の外周面に、通常、零付近或いは(+)に帯電しているニトリルゴムからなるスポンジチューブ2を密着状に当接させ、(-)に帯電しているシリコーンゴムチューブ3に(-)の静電荷を帯電、持続保持させる静電荷帯電方法で、手指のツボ刺激、静電気利用の各種装置等に応用できる。【選択図】図2
