716 Insept D Per 73 Insert D2 Having described my invention and some of the uses to which it may be advantageously applied, I claim: Inseil 24 Per D 1. The means described for preventing leakage of a Dr comprising free charge, seeprising a curved conducting surface, in com and bination with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density. 2. The means described for preventing leakage of high tension electricity, comprising a curved conducting surface in combination with a conductor of relatively large radius of curvature, a coil of closely packed turns of relatively large radius of curvature, and an insulating support, as set forth. 3. In a circuit of high potential, means for preventing leakage of electricity into the air, consisting of a coil with closely packed turns of relatively large radii of curvature, as set forth. 4. An electrical terminal for high tension currents, in combination with an insulated conductor of large radius of curvature leading thereto, as set forth. 5. A means for supporting high tension lines comprisD2 ing a conducting surface, and an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density, as set forth. 6. An electrie terminal for a resonating cireuit hav3 Insect $ ing a relatively large radius of curvature, in combination and Perd with an insulating support secured thereto at a point of low electrical density, as set forth. 7. An electrie terminal for a resonating circuit conhollow sisting of â conducting surface of relatively large radius and means for supporting the same of curvature, supported from the inner for under side, as set forth. 17 371-28 -12
