Abstract
Abstract A static eliminator including a channel-shaped bar entirely enclosed in an insulating sheath: the sheath has a slot in and extending parallel to the channel, the slot at its inner end terminating in a cylindrical bore in which is a metal tube. Ionizing points penetrate into the metal tube and extend through the slot, and contacts are provided to the bar and tube from ground and to a source, respectively.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A static eliminator comprising: a longitudinally extending metal bar having a cross-section of channel shape, a sheath of insulating material on said bar, said sheath encompassing substantially all longitudinal surfaces of said bar, a longitudinally extending slot entering said sheath and extending into said channel shape bar and terminating in a generally cylindrical bore separated from said bar by said insulating material sheath, a longitudinal member of conductive material in said bore, a plurality of spaced, parallel ionzing points in said slot, said points being of conductive material and extending into and engaging said member, and means connecting said longitudinal member of conductive material to a source of electric potential and means for connecting said metal bar to ground.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
