Apparatus for simultaneously generating and measuring a triboelectric charge
First Claim
1. Apparatus for simultaneously generating and measuring a triboelectric charge generated on an elongated strip of flexible sample material comprises a stationary rod of insulating material fixedly attached to the apparatus, driving means including a motor for the sample material and adapted to move the sample material longitudinally in transverse frictional contact with the rod, means for maintaining the sample material under continuous tension, support means for maintaining a surface of the sample material in substantially straight-line tangential relationship with the rod after it leaves contact with it, and a static-charge sensor disposed between the stationary rod and the said support means and spaced from the said surface of the sample material for measuring, in cooperation with electrically associated voltage-measuring means, a charge on the said surface.

Abstract
Apparatus for simultaneously generating and measuring a triboelectric charge generated on a strip of flexible sample material includes a stationary rod of insulating material, driving motor for the sample material adapted to move the sample material in frictional contact with the rod, a support rod for maintaining a surface of the sample material in straight-line tangential relationship with the rod, and a static-charge sensor disposed between the stationary rod and the support rod and spaced from the surface of the sample material for measuring a charge on the surface in cooperation with a voltage-measuring device.
