Definitions

  • a paper conveying device in which the surface of the paper lies completely free and in which clamps, bands, suctiondevices and the like are not needed. It should furthermore be possible to hold the paper in position against gravity.
  • a paper-conveying device of this kind is desirable, for example, in facsimile devices and may be used in printing presses, stamping machines, sorting machines and the like.
  • electro-static measuring instruments and condenser loudspeakers (the latter having never been in common use), only few or no fields of application of electro-static forces are known in industry. This may be due to the fact that it is dimcult to separate the two kinds of charges occurring side by side in nature, since this leads to high, sometimes even to very high tensions. Yet in solving the problem initially mentioned it has surprisingly been found that, owing to the nature of the material the electro-static method leads to a very satisfactory result. It has been found that to this result contributes in the first place the fact that paper, even when very dry, still exhibits a slight conductivity, so that with respect to highly insulating substances it must be regarded as a conductor. It is furthermore possible to obtain the electro-static charges, for example,
  • a device should preferably be provided for neutralizing the elcctro-statlc forces by electrical means.
  • the conveyor of electrically insulating ma tcrial is caused to pass between two bodies, 01 which one. which primarily comes into contact with the paper, is provided with at least one earthed coating of electrically conductive material, whereas the other body, which is always solely in contact with the conveyor, is coated with a substance capable, upon friction against the electrically insulating material of the com veyor, of producing an electro static charge on this material.
  • the substance referred to may be, for example, a cat-skin, felt, silk or a similar substance.
  • the body coated with a substance capable of producing, due to friction against an electrically insulating material, an electro-statlc charge on this material preferably exhibits the shape of a cylinder the periphery of which has, with respect to the conveyor a speed which differs from zero a sufiicient amount of friction between the conveyor and the friction-substance being thus obtained.
  • the conveyor of electrically insulating material is provided, on the side remote from the paper required to be conveyed, with narrow strips of thin, electrically conducting material which are electrically separated from one another in a direction at right angles to the direction of movement of the conveyor, the electrostatic charge being produced by successively connecting the strips to one terminal of a source of direct-current voltage, the other terminal of which is connected to a sheet of paper required to be conveyed and located on the other side of the conveyor.
  • a further, preferahe embodiment of the invention consists in that that side of the conveyor which is remote from the paper required to be conveved is provided with an electrically conductive coating whilst that side of the paper which is remote from the conveyor is brou ht into contact with a body which is also provided with an electrically conductive coating, the electro-static charge being produced by connecting the coating of the conveyor to one terminal of a source of direct-current voltage, of which the other terminal is connected to the coating of the body which is in contact with the paper. Also in this embodiment it is fundamentally immaterial how the source of direct-current voltage is connected. In this case it is, however, preferable to connect the side which is not connected to 4 paper and the conveyer is thus correspondingly increased.
  • the paper sheet Because of the essentially insulating properties of the paper sheet a charge of opposite polarity is initiallv induced in the surface of the paper adjacent to the conveyer surface. Similarly because of the insulating nature of the conveyer belt a charge of opposite polarity to the applied charge is induced on the surface adjacent to the paper. Thus the adjacent surfaces of the paper and conveyer have initially opposite charges which remain separated due to the air gap normally existing to a greater or lesser extent between paper and conveyer. In practice, the paper is not an absolute insulator so that the charge induced on the conveyer side of paper is neutralized to a greater or lesser extent because of the conduction throu h the paper.
  • the adjacent surfaces of the paper and the conveyer now assume the same polarity to a greater or lesser extent and the attraction forces between them are reduced.
  • the charge on the conveyer outer surface is transferred to the paper and is distributed through the paper. Since the transferred charge is opposite in polarity to the charge on the inner surface of the conveyer the attraction b tween the adhesion between the conveyor and the paper to be conveyed.
  • This is preferably effected, according to the invention, by electrical agency, in such manner that the conveyor together with the paper is passed between two bodies between which an alternating field prevails.
  • the peak voltage of which is preferably chosen to be of an order of magnitude such that between the coating and the paper a, now alternating, field strength eoual to that produced by the charging with direct-current voltage the'paper appears to be released by the conveyor. If desired use mav be made, in addition of a simple, mechanical device, for removing the paper.
  • t e contact bet een conveyor and paper is as intimate as possible.
  • means are provided to clear the convevor of dust before it receives the paper. This may be effected, for example by guidin the conveyor along a felt brush connected to a vacuum conduit or a vacuum cleaner.
  • I desi nates a conveyor of electrically insulating material, for example, rubber, or of flexible thermoplastic insulatin material, which is stretched in form of an endless belt between two cvlindersl and 3.
  • Cylinder 2 is made of electrically insulating material such for example as synthetic resin.
  • Above the conveyor is provided a guide 4 along which a sheet of paper 5 can slide on to the belt I.
  • Cylinder 8 which is made of metal, is earthed and is adapted to rotate freely. After having passed paper has to be removed again from the belt.
  • the cylinder 3 is made of metal and connected to an alternating-voltage source. of which the other terminal is connected to a metal cylinder II. The remaining adhesion is so slight that the paper cannot follow now the curvature of cylinder 3 and drops from the belt along a guide I2.
  • the latter Before the point at which the paper arrives on the belt, the latter is provided with a simple device for removing dust, soil and the like, consisti'n'gof a brush l3 and a suction-pipe I4, the
  • suction-pipe of a vacuum cleaner for example the suction-pipe of a vacuum cleaner.
  • the belt i is internally coated with strips of tin-foil 26 which extend'transversely to the direction of movement of the belt.
  • a cylinder 2i presses against these tin-foil strips and is connected to the positive side of a source of direct-current voltage.
  • the negative side is connected to an endless metal band 22 stretched around two cylinders 23.
  • the tin-foil coating of the belt is short-circuited with respect to the paper and this short-circuit enhances the adhesion of the paper to the belt.
  • the cylinder 2 may also be of metal and be earthed.
  • the cylinder 3 may be made of metal and be earthed.
  • the body 26 may be dispensed with and the body 25 is arranged opposite the cylinder 3.
  • a simple heating tical to those of Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the device for neutralizing the electro-static adhesive force consists of a body 34 connected to one terminal device constituted by a heating element 28 and a reflector ill, the cylinder 3 and the belt i being thus heated and dried, which is conducive to the adhesion of the paper to the belt.
  • the other parts of this embodiment are idenof an alternating-voltage source, ofwhich'the other terminal is connected to the (metal) cylinder 3. 1
  • one of the terminals of the source of alternating voltage must be earthed and connected to the cylinder 3.
  • the heating element 21, 28 is now arranged in such manner that the belt is heated at the point at which the paper arrives on the belt.
  • a device for conveying material in the form of sheets comprising a conveyor belt member of electrically insulating material having a first exposed surface for receiving the said sheets on one side of the conveyor and having a second surface on an opposite side of said conveyor member, means to apply the sheets to be conveyed onto said first surface, an electrically conducting coating on a portion of said second surface, and means to apply electrostatic charges to the exposed surface of the sheets to be conveyed and to the said coating.
