Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A rotary electric field intensity measuring device comprising a housing, stationary frusto-conical electrode means secured to said housing and having alternating voltage inducing means, an induced charge take-out line connected to said stationary electrode means, shielding frusto-conical rotary electrode means spaced above said stationary electrode means and having alternating voltage inducing means in cooperation with said stationary electrode means, and means to rotate said rotary electrode means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A rotary electric field intensity measuring device comprising a housing, stationary frusto-conical electrode means secured to said housing and having alternating voltage inducing means, an induced charge take-out line connected to said stationary electrode means, shielding frusto-conical rotary electrode means spaced above said stationary electrode means and having alternating voltage inducing means in cooperation with said stationary electrode means, and means to rotate said rotary electrode means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The rotary electric field intensity measuring device as set forth in claim 1, in which each of said stationary and rotary electrode means is formed of a sheet metal and has the frusto-conical shape thereof with the base of the cone vertically below the apex thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The rotary electric field intensity measuring device as set forth in claim 2, in which said stationary electrode means is shielded by said rotary electrode means and has dimensions smaller than those of said rotary electrode means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
The rotary electric field intensity measuring device as set forth in claim 1, further including a hollow insulation column which is secured to said housing and to which said stationary electrode means is secured, and a metal shielding sleeve surrounding said column to define an air space therebetween and secured to said housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The rotary electric field intensity measuring device as set forth in claim 1, in which said alternating voltage inducing means of each electrode means comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced and longitudinally extending openings formed in the associated electrode means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The rotary electric field intensity measuring device as set forth in claim 1, including anti short-circuit means in said stationary electrode means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
