GUN HEAD FOR POWDER PAINTING

摘要

A gun head constituting the front section of an electrostatic powder painting gun makes the pattern of powder flow spouted out therefrom into the form of a flat fan-like shape to decrease the velocity of the powder flow traveling toward a workpiece to be painted to thereby enhance the efficiency of adhesion of a powder paint to the workpiece. A spout section of an end wall of a cylindrical body constituting a fundamental section of the gun head has a pair of opposed slits bored therein such that the spacing between these slits decreases progressively as approaching the outer ends thereof, and the inner ends of these slits are communicated with a powder path formed inside the cylindrical body at opposed spots close to the inner surface of the powder path.
