摘要:
An electrostatic grid, especially useful in a flocking machine, has an exposed portion providing a corona which prevents flock from accumulating on the grid.
摘要:
In an apparatus for measuring the thickness of material including a magnetic sensor forming an incomplete magnetic circuit, a gas source, structure defining a gas-confining chamber in communication with said gas source providing a gas cushion on the top surface of said material for supporting the sensor a fixed distance above the top surface of said material, and readout means for producing a signal dependent on relative vertical sensor movement, the improvement comprising material support structure including a supporting member formed of magnetic material to complete a magnetic circuit with the sensor, and providing a flat supporting surface located opposite the sensor and contacting the underside of the material, a suction source, and structure providing communication between the suction source and the underside of the material adjacent said flat supporting surface to maintain the underside of the material flush against the flat supporting circuit such that parameters of the magnetic circuit due to the distance between the sensor and the magnetic supporting member are dependent solely on the thickness of the material.
