Abstract

The invention refers to a method and a device for application of fibres on a base. The probelm that is solved by the present invention is to charge and convey fibres to a surface, on which the fibre is going to be applied, without need of using electrically powered units to generate a high voltage. This is carried out by friction charging of the fibre. This is achieved by using differences in electro-negativity between two materials. The application equipment includes a charging tube (8), through which the fibre is driven. The inside of the charging tube (8) consists of a dielectric material (9), for instance PTFE. This material is strongly electro-negative and therefore tears electrons from materials that have less electro-negativity.

I en kantig partikel som fibern tjänstgör ändarna som elektroder, vilka släpper en del laddning till omgivningen. Därför kommer en kraftigt laddad partikel att avge en del laddning till Detta tyder pà att det finns en mättad laddning som en partikel av en viss form omkringliggande luft, som dä joniseras. kan bära. »Av I C71 C) 10 15 20 25 30 35» BJ 759. x n 2 surface. The strength of the force field is determined by the amount of charge. In an angular particle like the fiber, the ends serve as electrodes, which release some charge to the environment. Therefore, a heavily charged particle will emit some charge to This indicates that there is a saturated charge as a particle of a certain shape surrounding air, which is then ionized. can carry.
