Abstract
Clasps for conductive grounding straps. Clasps according to the present invention allow the strap material to exit the clasp with its conductive side facing the wearer rather than being exposed. The resulting closure decreases the possibility of accidental contact of conductive sections of the strap with high voltage or other dangerous electrical potential that can result in injury or death to the wearer. Because the material exits the clasp with its conductive side not exposed, the free position of the material extending beyond the clasp need not be cut for safety reasons. The strap may thus be adjusted to accomodate various wrist sizes and be used by various wearers.
