DEFINITION

Classification: 96/28

Electrode cleaner, apparatus part flusher, discharger, or wet collector (e.g., wet film electrode, etc.):

(under subclass 15) Apparatus which has (a) means to remove the constituent gathered on an electrode, (b) means to remove the separated constituent by air draft, suction, liquid, or positively acting discharging means from parts other than electrodes of the apparatus, or (c) means to provide a bath type collector or a moving liquid film for the surface of a collecting electrode.

(1) Note. The constituent which has been separated is usually nongaseous and adheres to the electrodes or has fallen therefrom onto a collecting means (e.g., a series of shelves, etc.).

(2) Note. A collector electrode with a moving liquid film thereon is included herein (see subclass 45 in particular) since a cleaning action is inherent during passage of the liquid film over the electrode, even though the cleaning action may not be specifically disclosed.
