Device for carrying away static charges and/or dust particles on a data carrier

摘要

The invention relates to a device for carrying away static charges and/or dust particles on a data carrier 11, in particular a floppy disk. Such a device 10 has antistatic elements 19, 20, which are guided on the upper sides of the floppy disk 11 when it is inserted and remove electric charges or dust particles present there. The antistatic elements 19, 20 may be integrated into the front panel 13a of an input and output unit 13. To ensure good contact with the upper sides of the floppy disk 11, the antistatic elements 19, 20 are spring-loaded and arranged such that they can move in a sliding manner in the front panel (13a). A further embodiment permits the retrofitting of customary input and output devices. <IMAGE>
