Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0590165A1] The invention relates to an electrostatic nozzle for the production of printing screens which are used in particular in the field of the textile industry. Said printing screens consist of a fine-meshed screen (1) bearing a pattern. The pattern is produced by spraying a highly viscous masking liquid with the aid of the electrostatic nozzle only at those points on the screen (1) at which the screen (1) has to be covered for the purposes of the pattern and leaving those parts of the screen (1) uncovered at which the screen has to remain permeable. To be able to spray the highly viscous masking liquid, a plunger (31) projects into a spray channel (30) of the nozzle (2), which plunger is excited to high-frequency oscillation. From the intense disturbances thus caused, there result pronounced regular constrictions, corresponding to the oscillation frequency, of the liquid jet leaving the spray channel, so that, outside the spray channel, drops can very rapidly form as a result of the surface tension of the liquid. This leads to a short overall length of the nozzle. <IMAGE>
