ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic spraying apparatus is in the form of a device suitable for hand held use. The device uses a high voltage generator of the rectified pulsed type and includes an earth return path which is completed via the operator through a contact (38) associated with the hand grip (4) of the device. Resistance (36), typically of the order of 50 megohm, suppresses pulsed electrical sensations that may be experienced by the operator in the event that the nozzle (12) is contacted with an earthed object, and the nozzle (12) is designed so that the liquid therein presents, by virtue of the length and cross-sectional area of a liquid conducting passage(s) in the nozzle, a high resistance between the voltage generator (26) and the nozzle thereby reducing the energy that can be drawn to earth by electrical discharge.
