1. A transmission device comprising:
- a transmission circuit for transmitting a remote control signal for locking and unlocking a vehicle door;
a casing containing said transmission circuit;
at least two portions of said casing having lower dielectric strengths than at least one other portion of said casing;
a plurality of grounding plates between said transmission circuit and said casing;
each of said at least two portions being adjacent to at least one of said plurality of grounding plates;
means for electrically interconnecting said plurality of ground plates, whereby a conductive path joining said at least two portions is established.

Abstract
A transmission device having a transmission circuit contained within a casing made of a synthetic resin for transmitting a locking or unlocking signal, wherein an earth plate is disposed between the casing and the transmission circuit. Static charges accumulated on a human body scarcely flow to the transmission circuit upon handling the transmission device, thus eliminating the worry that the electric components of the transmission device are damaged by a surge current.
