ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE APPLICATOR, THE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE APPLICATOR HAVING AN ACCUMULATING MEMBER AND AN APPLICATION MEMBER AND A SYSTEM FOR ELECTROSTATICALLY SUPPORTING AN OBJECT

摘要

There is provided an electrostatic support applicator, which comprises a body including: a first body portion and a second body portion; the first body portion including an electrostatic generating sub-assembly; the second body portion being implemented as an accumulating member for accumulating electrostatic charge; and an application member mounted onto said accumulating member and spaced away from said accumulating member by a separating distance “d”, said separating distance “d” being within an electric field of said accumulating member such that said application member gets charged from said accumulating member, when in use, by means of corona discharge.
