ABSTRACT:
In a reproduction machine, a static elimination device for removing static charge from a sheet of material being conveyed along a sheet path through a sheet handling machine. The static elimination device includes a thin flexible support member having a first length suitable for spanning across the sheet path, and a first width defining an area with the first length for supporting a static charge removing member. The static charge removing member has a second length substantially equal to the first length of the support member, and a second width greater than the first width of the support member, and is mounted to the support member. In particular, the static removing member comprises a conductive fabric for mounting in a static removing relationship with a sheet being conveyed along the sheet path of the sheet handling machine. The fabric consists of innumerable thin fibers forming fabric segments. Each thin fiber has a conductive plating, and each segment of the fabric includes a non-woven innumerable number of the thin fibers forming a compressed, and bonded pile having highly random orientations of individual fibers.
