Abstract
A window screen apparatus employing electrostatic principles to purify air. The window screen mesh wires encompass electrically-conductive filaments that are charged by a high-voltage DC pulse generator. Between and surrounding the wires an electric field is created that charges, traps, and repels airborne particulate. An alternative embodiment consists of a window screen in which the screen mesh wires are manufactured from permanently electrostatically charged fibers.
Claims14
A window screen apparatus that utilizes electrostatic properties to purify the air passing through or in the vicinity of the apparatus comprising:
- a. a window screen frame designed to fit and latch into the window frame for which the apparatus is designed to be mounted;
- and
- b. a pair of electrically-conductive tracks that run the perimeter of the apparatus frame and are electrically insulated from each other and the apparatus frame, with one track being designated the negative potential track and the other track being designated the positive potential track;
- and
- c. a wire mesh screen, consisting of interwoven or cross-hatched wires, mounted to the window screen frame;
- and
- d. a power supply unit electrically connected to the tracks that generates high-voltage, low-amperage DC electric pulses;
- and
- e. a cleaning mechanism mounted to the window screen frame that cleans the wire mesh screen.
