Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of manufacturing an electret sheet comprising the steps of providing a surface of a porous sheet with at least one solid material in particulate form spaced at various intervals on said surface, said material being selected from the group consisting of (1) organic materials that are solid at room temperature and consist of organic carboxylic acids, metal salts of carboxylic acids, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethyleneterephthalate, polyamide, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, cellulose, or polyvinyl alcohol; (2) inorganic materials that are ceramics, metal nitrides, or carbon black; and (3) metallic materials that are comprised of aluminum, silver, tin, nickel, or copper, and subsequently electrifying the porous sheet that has said solid material on its surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of manufacturing an electret sheet comprising the steps of providing a surface of a porous sheet with at least one solid material in particulate form spaced at various intervals on said surface, said material being selected from the group consisting of (1) organic materials that are solid at room temperature and consist of organic carboxylic acids, metal salts of carboxylic acids, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethyleneterephthalate, polyamide, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, cellulose, or polyvinyl alcohol; (2) inorganic materials that are ceramics, metal nitrides, or carbon black; and (3) metallic materials that are comprised of aluminum, silver, tin, nickel, or copper, and subsequently electrifying the porous sheet that has said solid material on its surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 1, wherein said solid material is heated to vaporize and then the porous sheet is treated with vapors of the material or condensation particles of said vapors in said step of adding the solid material to the porous sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 2, wherein the amount of said particles to be added to the porous sheet is in the range of 0.01%-20% by weight based on the weight of the porous sheet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 1, wherein corona discharge is conducted in said step of electrifying the porous sheet that has said solid material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 1, wherein said porous sheet is selected from the group consisting of textile fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, porous films, and porous foams.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 1, wherein said dielectric polymer is a fiber selected from the group consisting of fibers made of polyolefin, polyvinylidenechloride, and polycarbonate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 6, wherein the diameter of said fiber is in the range of 0.01-100 μm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method of manufacturing the electret sheet according to claim 1, wherein the size of said particles is in the range of 0.001-50 μm.
