Abstract
A portable electrostatic flocking device which comprises a horizontal hollow handle rod, high voltage producing means housed in the handle rod, a drive motor provided below the rod and having a gear mounted on the output shaft of the motor, a hollow rotary shaft housed in the rod and having an inner lead, a gear in engagement with the gear on the motor output shaft and an extension extending beyond the adjacent end of the rod and a rotary container connected to the rotary shaft to be rotated by the shaft. The interior of the rotary container is divded into a plurality of compartments by a plurality of radially extending partition walls and the bottoms of the compartments are connected to the lead for the rotary shaft by means of branch leads branched from the rotary shaft lead.
Claims3
A portable electrostatic flocking device comprising a horizontal hollow handle rod consisting of first and second sections;
- high voltage producing means housed in said second section and having at one end a lead connected to an external power source and at the other end a high voltage contact terminal;
- a drive motor provided below said second section and having at one end a lead connected to a second power source and having at the other end the output shaft on which a gear is mounted;
- a horizontal hollow rotary shaft extending with said second section and having at one end a first high voltage contact terminal in engagement with said contact terminal on the high voltage producing means and at the other end an extension extending beyond the adjacent end of said second section and including a second high voltage contact terminal at the extreme end of said extension, said rotary shaft further having a gear between the two contact terminals of the shaft in engagement with said gear on the motor output shaft;
- a rotary container for holding fine particles connected to said extention of the rotary shaft to be rotated thereby, the interior of said rotary container being divided into a plurality of compartments defined by a plurality of partition walls extending radially between the interior of said rotary container and said extension of the rotary shaft;
- a boss of U-shaped cross-section on said rotary container having a high voltage contact terminal in engagement with said second contact terminal of the rotary shaft;
- a lead for said rotary shaft extending from said first contact terminal through said second terminal of the rotary shaft and said contact terminal of the boss into said interior of the rotary container;
- conductive boards on the bottoms of said compartments;
- triangular electrodes erecting from said bottoms of the compartments;
- and branch leads branched from said lead for the rotary shaft and connected to said conductive boards.
