Abstract: An electrical connector for an oxidized surface includes a plurality of spaced apart parallel connector legs integrally formed as extensions of a central connector spine. Each connector leg has a free standing integral barb projecting therefrom toward an adjacent one of the connector legs. A group of legs is arranged to straddle a metal plate having an oxidized surface with the pointed ends of the barbs having a separation less than the thickness of the plate to enable the barbs to scrape the oxide from the surface to establish electrical contact to the underlying metal layer. The connector, in turn, is made of phosphor bronze to enable a spring-loaded electrical contact to be made to the connector surface by providing a low resistance non-oxidizing contacting surface. A use for such as connector would be to provide an effective electrical connection to aluminum plates such as those used in an electrostatic precipitator where the aluminum oxide forms an electrical current barrier and the connector is required to have a low resistance surface to contact a spring-loaded connector extending from a high voltage source to the collector plates. The use of an extended connector spine enables the connector to bridge a pair of plates while providing individual electrical connections thereto.

Abstract: A battery holder for a control device is integral with the base of the control device and has a first support member with battery connections and a second support member which is made up of a L-shaped lever comprising a portion of the base. The second support member is flexible whereby the battery can be placed between the first and second support members and a force moving the battery toward the connection means by the second support member will connect the battery to the connection. The battery can be removed from the battery holder by lifting the second support member. Adjacent support members which are hooked to hold the battery in place are flexible to move away from the battery when the battery is lifted to be in a position so that the battery can then be manually pulled out of the battery holder and disconnected from the battery connection means.

Abstract: An electrostatic air cleaner has at least one hole in one of the plates over which air with charged dirt particles is passed. A light source is mounted adjacent to the hole so as to direct its light through the hole. A light sensor detects the level of light passing through the hole. As dirt particles deposit on the plate, they fill in the hole over a period of time, reducing the amount of light passing through the hole. It is possible by measuring the amount of light passing through the hole, to determine the amount of dirt deposited on the plate. In a preferred embodiment, each of the plates contain a hole in alignment with each of the other plates' holes so that light from a single light source can pass through each of the holes. Such a configuration allows both the light source and the light sensor to be located outside of the entire group of plates.

Abstract translation: 一个静电空气滤清器在其中一个板上具有至少一个孔，空气带有带电的污垢颗粒。 光源邻近孔安装，以便将光引导通过孔。 光传感器检测穿过孔的光线。 当污垢颗粒沉积在板上时，它们在一段时间内填充孔，减少了通过孔的光量。 可以通过测量通过孔的光量来确定沉积在板上的污垢量。 在优选实施例中，每个板包含与每个其它板孔对准的孔，使得来自单个光源的光可以穿过每个孔。 这种构造允许光源和光传感器都位于整组板的外部。

Abstract: The method for spacing the folds of a folded filter media assembly includes the steps of separating the folds of the filter media by the use of the tapered assembly comb having uniformly spaced teeth and subsequently inserting a rigid divider into the separated and spaced media folds to produce a uniformly spaced filter media. The comb can be discarded after the divider is inserted, and, accordingly, the comb is made of an inexpensive material having a desired degree of rigidity for handling, e.g., cardboard. The uniformly spaced filter media assembly is inserted into an operative position for filtering, e.g., as an air filter.
