Abstract

A plurality of stainless steel wire sprays along the wall of the drum of the clothes dryer. Preferably, the sprays would be positioned along a straight line of the wall, and would be covered with a perforated plastic guard, so that the clothes tumbling within the drum of the clothes dryer do not make contact with the stainless steels sprays. So that the charged electrons may make contact with the stainless steel sprays and become neutralized, the guard would be equipped with a plurality of ports, to allow the flow of charges between the charged close and the stainless steel sprays. In the preferred embodiment, there would preferably be located one or more equally spaced apart rows of sprays covered with a guard, so that the entire drum would be adequately supplied with the static eliminating means. An alternate embodiment would allow the location of the stainless steel sprays either on the rear wall of the drum or on the front door of the dryer, likewise having a single guard to cover one or a group of sprays, for the same reason. In either embodiment, it is foreseen that this method of eliminating static electricity would allow a one-time positioning of this item within the drum of a dryer, and would therefore result in the elimination of static electricity from the clothes for the life of the dryer.
