Abstract
A magnetic sheet fanner consisting of an elongated horseshoe magnet or bar magnet having an upper end and a lower end, the poles of such elongated magnet extending from the upper end to the lower end; a support frame having an interior space and having a sheet contact side; an axle and axle bearing assembly interlinking the elongated magnet and the support frame so that the elongated magnet may pivotally move between a first position “on” and a second “off” position within the interior space, the elongated magnet directing a magnetic field through the sheet contact side of the housing while the elongated magnet is in its first “on” position, the elongated magnet directing the magnetic field away from the sheet contact side upon pivotal motion to its second “off” position; and a pneumatic actuator adapted for selectively pivoting the elongated magnet between its first and second positions.
