  • Patent number: 9854655
    Abstract: An air stream controller and a system for static charge reduction comprising such air stream controller are disclosed. The air stream controller comprises an enclosed hollow body having a first surface and a second surface, wherein, an opening is on the first surface facing an incoming tubing of a device for static charge reduction for receiving air stream from the device for static charge reduction, wherein an outgoing tubing of the device for static charge reduction is attached onto the second surface of the enclosed hollow body for discharging the air stream. A technical solution to more effectively prevent the “leaking of air stream passage” can be achieved through the design of a multi-holes structure at the air passage to more broadly expand its air sucking area coverage without increasing the original suction power.
