Abstract:
A pivoted gate across an opening from a gutter into a collector basin. An actuator inside the basin is insensitive to slow flow rates, but includes a rotor with vanes that actuate an opening linkage at sufficiently high rates of flow. A float is included in the actuator to exert a gate-opening torque when the rotor is flooded.
Apparatus to reduce static electricity in a work zone comprises: (a) a first electrical conductor having first tips spaced therealong in a first row to dispense positive ions in response to first voltage application to the first conductor, (b) a second electrical conductor having second tips spaced therealong in a second row to dispense negative ions in response to second voltage application to the second conductor, said first and second voltages being different, and (c) a body mounting said conductors at locations and separations from one another characterized in that static electricity at or proximate the work to be treated is effectively reduced to non-objectionable levels when said differential voltages are applied to the conductors, (d) the first and second rows being parallel.
Static Charge Positioning Of Textile Sliver In Angled Tubular Feeder
A textile sliver is fed through a tube and into a drum to coil therein, and the tube and drum are relatively rotated about an axis; the tube extends at an angle to the axis to deliver the sliver to coil within the drum; the sliver has a static charge as it enters the tube, and the method includes the steps: A. imparting to the tube inner wall a static charge of a polarity the same as said charge on the sliver thereby to effect a repulsion of the sliver from said inner wall, and B. continuing said feeding of the sliver through said tube as the tube rotates about said axis.
Static Neutralization Utilizing Non-Corroding Ion Dispensing Tips
Apparatus for reducing static electricity comprises (a) electrically conductive cable means having tips spaced therealong to dispense ions in response to voltage application to the cable means, (b) the cable means defining cable extents each of which is flexible and includes elongated metallic extent to which voltage is applicable, (c) and needles having shanks extending adjacent the cable metallic extent to make sideward electrical contact therewith so as to receive voltage application, the needles defining the tips openly exposed outwardly of the cable extents to dispense ions into the atmosphere near the cable means, (d) at least certain of the needles having surfaces at said tips consisting of tungsten or tungsten alloy for dispensing positive ions without corroding.
Control Of Static Neutralization Employing Cables And Wires
Apparatus to reduce static electricity in a work zone comprises: (a) a first electrically conductive cable having tips spaced therealong to dispense positive ions in response to positive voltage application to the first cable, (b) a second electrically conductive cable having tips spaced therealong to dispense negative ions in response to negative voltage application to the second cable, (c) the cables located with adjusted separations from one another so that static electricity at or proximate the work is reduced to acceptable levels, (d) and an auxiliary wire spaced from the first and second cables in the direction of ion flow therefrom toward the work, the auxiliary wire being at or near ground potential and having exposed electrically conductive surface extent.

Abstract:
A film strip, as for example photograph film, is treated to remove static and dust thereon by directing gaseous streams across opposite film surfaces, and by distributing ions into the gas streams to be carried into contact with the film opposite surfaces, for neutralizing the static and enabling dust to be blown off such surfaces.
