An insulating feedthrough for an electrostatic precipitator has a cylindrical insulator passing through a hole in the wall of the precipitator and having an annular flange which is sealingly pressed against the inner surface of that wall by a clamping arrangement including a spring. A tubular bushing extends through the insulator and has a flange bearing upon the inner end of the latter which is connected by a clamping arrangement to a flange on the support for the electrodes via another spring. A rod for transmitting rapping blows passes through the bushing to impact against the electrode support.
This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 842,477 filed on Mar. 21, 1986, now abandoned.

4702469 - Apparatus and method for aligning sheets - Owned by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg,DE) [*] Notice:The portion of the term of this patent subsequent to May 13, 2003 has been disclaimed.
A device for aligning sheets fed by a sheet feeder to a sheet-processing machine includes a suction pull bar located in an aligning region of the sheet feeder, drive device for reciprocatingly displacing the suction pull bar in the plane of a sheet transversely to sheet travel direction through the sheet feeder, air control device through which the drive device is connected to a vacuum generator, positioning device for controlling the drive device the suction pull bar being acuatable for applying suction to the underside of a sheet which has reached the aligning region and after the sheet has been aligned by the leading edge thereof, the suction bar being actuatable for moving the sheet into an in-register side position and having device for applying fresh air thereto for releasing the sheet exactly in the side position simultaneously with a take-over of the sheet-in register by the sheet conveying device and a method for operating the device.
A device for use in an electrostatic precipitator including an electrically insulating disk having a hole, which may be a venturi-shaped passage, for receiving a tie rod and an arrangement for supporting the tie rod in the hole so as to allow a fluid to flow through the hole between an inside surface of the hole and the tie rod. An air stream deflector may be mounted on the tie rod to provide further protection and help direct air flow. A recirculating flow system may also be provided to direct clean air through the venturi-shaped passage.
