Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
An apparatus for removing static electricity from the surface of a thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of films, sheets and fabrics, comprising means for continuously feeding said thermoplastic material along a generally planar path; a treatment zone adjacent the path of travel of said thermoplastic material comprising means for discharging static electricity including an enamelled conductive wire spaced about 1 to 10 mm. from and parallel to the plane of said path of said material, means for maintaining a high AC voltage of about 2, 000 to 8,000 volts at a frequency between about 300 to 2,000 Hertz on said wire, and a conductive proximity ground spaced adjacent said wire.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus according to claim 2 in which said wire, constituted of a metal or metal alloy, has a diameter between 0.0l and 1 mm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
An apparatus according to claim 2 in which said proximity grounds are placed above said enamelled wire at a distance approximately equal to the distance between the wire and the surface to be treated.
