APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING AND MOVING COATING DISPENSERS

摘要

Apparatus for mounting and moving coating dispensers (36) within the interior of a spray booth (10), and particularly the coating dispensers (36) located above an object (30) moving through the booth (10). A first embodiment comprises a dispenser housing (38) having an aerodynamically shaped outer surface (58) formed with a leading edge (60), a trailing edge (62) and opposed generally curved sides (64, 66). A second embodiment includes a dispenser housing (220) having an outer surface with a convexly curved leading edge (251), flat side walls (253, 253a) and a flat bottom wall (255). One or more coating dispensers (221-226, 231-235) are mounted at the trailing edge of the dispenser housings (220, 230) in a position to discharge coating material downwardly onto the object (211). A collision detector (303) is also provided to shut the system down in the event of a collision between the apparatus (210) and an object (211) within the booth.
