Abstract
An antistatic record cleaner has a support securable to a turntable adjacent the platter thereof and having an upward metallic pin having an upper end projecting from the support. A sweep arm is pivoted on the support and has a metallic rod whose inner end is secured in a pivot-forming block which is formed with a recess receiving the upper end of the pivot with metal-to-metal contact between the rod and the pin and has on its outer end a head piece carying a record-sweeping brush. A plurality of fine metallic filaments extend downwardly from and are in direct electrical contact with the outer end of the rod. A terminal is provided on the support in direct electrical contact with the pin and through the rod with the filaments. This terminal can be grounded via a lead so that static electric charges on the record being swept can be eliminated.
