Abstract
The invention is a magnet for facilitating separation of individual sheets from a stack of ferro-magnetic sheets; the invention is in the form of an elongate housing containing an elongate array of magnets which may be selectively positioned in relation to the housing so as to bring the array in proximity to the edge of the stack of ferro-magnetic sheets, thereby inducing a magnetic field in said sheets and causing the sheets to separate, thereby facilitating manipulation of the uppermost sheet from the stack.
Claims10
A device for facilitating separation of individual sheets from a stack of sheets of ferro-magnetic material comprising an elongated housing, an elongated array of magnets disposed within said housing, positioning means for selectively positioning said array of magnets within said housing, and locating means for removably securing said housing in fixed relation to said stack of sheets.
A device for facilitating separation of individual sheets from a stack of sheets of ferro-magnetic material comprising an elongated cylindrical housing, a rotatable, elongated array of permanent magnets disposed within said housing, a handle for rotating said array in relation to said housing, locating means for removably positioning said housing in relation to said stack of sheets of ferro-magnetic material, and indicating means for indicating the position of said array of permanent magnets in relation to said housing.
