  • Patent number: 11813637
    Abstract: A painting support assembly includes a tripod and a mounting block that is coupled to the tripod. The mounting block has a pair of channels integrated into the mounting block. A pair of extension blocks is provided and each of the extension blocks has an engagement which slidably engages a respective one of the channels in the mounting block. In this way the overall width of the mounting block is increased to support a small panel in a horizontal position for painting. A plate is positionable on top of the extension blocks and the mounting block and plate includes grips which engage the extension blocks. The plate supports a large panel in a horizontal position to facilitate painting the large panel.

  • Patent number: 8418648
    Abstract: Method for production of deposit or layer of nanoparticles or a layer of nanofibers from solutions or melts of polymers in electrostatic field of a high intensity, during which the produced nanoparticles or the produced nanofibers deposit on a substrate material passing through the active chamber, in which is positioned the active electrode. The electrostatic field for production, transfer and depositing of nanoparticles or production, transfer and depositing of nanofibers is induced between the active electrode and the substrate material, on which in the direction of its movement in front of and/or opposite to the active electrode there is applied an electric charge of opposite polarity than that of the active electrode, while an electric charge applied on the substrate material is being partially or totally consumed through depositing of nanoparticles or nanofibers on the moving substrate material.
