Patent ID: 8268253

Claim:
An air sterilizer comprising: an electro-kinetic converter having an ion generating electrode including: at least one row of needles secured along at least one support plate, two or more lamellar plates, two or more U-shaped elastically deformable insulating covers, and a very high voltage power source, wherein the lamellar plates serve as neutralizing electrodes; wherein the electro-kinetic converter comprises a rectangular frame having an upper plate, a lower plate, and two or more electrically insulating transverse plates, wherein the upper plate and the lower plate have margins; wherein the upper plate and lower plate of the rectangular frame are joined at their ends by the electrically insulating transverse plates, there being a row of constant-pitch equally-spaced rectangular notches located on one of the margins of the upper plate or the lower plate; wherein the ion generating electrode is introduced through the rectangular notches, two or more outward V-shaped openings which are interleaved and at the same pitch being located on a margin opposed to the ion generating electrode; and wherein the neutralizing electrodes are introduced through the V-shaped openings and are secured in place on the upper plate and the lower plate by the U-shaped elastically deformable insulating covers.
