Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an improved electrode of the type used in air conditioning apparatus for generating an electrostatic field, wherein at least one electrode is formed as a plate shaped carrier on which an insulating layer is disposed, an electrically conducting adhesive material being connected to one terminal of a direct current high voltage source and also serving to attach the insulating layer to the carrier.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus comprising, in combination, first and second electrode means; a high-voltage D.C. voltage source having terminals of opposite polarity respectively connected to said first and second electrode means for establishing therebetween a steady electrostatic field in the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, at least one of said electrode means comprising a carrier of electrically insulating material, a protective cover layer of insulating material facing the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, and a layer of electrically conductive adhesive material intermediate said cover layer and said carrier holding said cover in place on said carrier by adhesive force and being electrically connected to one of said terminals to serve as the electrode for said one of said electrode means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus comprising, in combination, first and second electrode means; a high-voltage D.C. voltage source having terminals of opposite polarity respectively connected to said first and second electrode means for establishing therebetween a steady electrostatic field in the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, at least one of said electrode means comprising a carrier of electrically insulating material, a protective cover layer of insulating material facing the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, and a layer of electrically conductive adhesive material intermediate said cover layer and said carrier holding said cover in place on said carrier by adhesive force and being electrically connected to one of said terminals to serve as the electrode for said one of said electrode means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus comprising, in combination, first and second electrode means; a high-voltage D.C. voltage source having terminals of opposite polarity respectively connected to said first and second electrode means for establishing therebetween a steady electrostatic field in the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, at least one of said electrode means comprising a carrier of electrically insulating material, a protective cover layer of insulating material facing the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, and a layer of electrically conductive adhesive material intermediate said cover layer and said carrier holding said cover in place on said carrier by adhesive force and being electrically connected to one of said terminals to serve as the electrode for said one of said electrode means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus comprising, in combination, first and second electrode means; a high-voltage D.C. voltage source having terminals of opposite polarity respectively connected to said first and second electrode means for establishing therebetween a steady electrostatic field in the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, at least one of said electrode means comprising a carrier of electrically insulating material, a protective cover layer of insulating material facing the interior of said substantially enclosed habitable compartment, and a layer of electrically conductive adhesive material intermediate said cover layer and said carrier holding said cover in place on said carrier by adhesive force and being electrically connected to one of said terminals to serve as the electrode for said one of said electrode means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said layer of electrically conductive adhesive material has two major surfaces and is adhesive at both said major surfaces and is held in place on said carrier by adhesive contact between said carrier and one of said major surfaces, and wherein said protective cover layer is held in place on said layer of electrically conductive adhesive material by adhesive contact with the other of said major surfaces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus as defined in claim 1, said compartment being bounded by at least one boundary wall structure, and wherein said one of said electrode means is mounted on said boundary wall structure, and wherein said carrier of electrically insulating material is mounted on but discrete from said boundary wall structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said protective cover layer and said layer of electrically conductive adhesive material are discrete from each other and have facing major surfaces which are in contact with each other substantially all over said facing major surfaces.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
84 words
In a substantially enclosed habitable compartment an air conditioning apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said one of said electrode means further includes an electrical contact member at least a portion of which is interposed between said carrier and said layer of electrically conductive adhesive material, said portion of said electrical contact member being covered by said layer of electrically conductive adhesive material and being electrically connected to the latter and serving to connect the latter to the respective one of said terminals.
