METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ASSEMBLY BY ELECTROSTATICATTRACTION:
Cross-reference art collection of documents wherein self-sustaining parts are juxtaposed, associated, or fastened to each other by the use of electrostatic attraction wherein one part is given an electrostatic charge.
(1) Note. The purpose of the processes of this subclass is usually the attachment of sheets and/or objects to each other for ready detachment at a measurably later time.
(2) Note. Adherence of liquids or of fluent solids to a solid material is excluded from this subclass; the objects of this subclass must be handled as units.
(3) Note. The subject matter of this subclass has not been clearly provided for in any patent class heretofore; thus, this subclass is established as a collection place for such art. Because it is impossible to locate all art classifiable herein, a search of this subclass cannot be considered
authoritative for patents issued before its establishment.
