<p>A barrel-type coating apparatus includes a perforated barrel rotatably and pivotably mounted on a frame, and a cup-shaped heating chamber slidably supported on the frame and reciprocably movable toward and away from the barrel for removably receiving therein the barrel from an open end thereof while the barrel is held in an upwardly tilted position. The cup-shaped heating chamber includes a heater mounted thereon for heating the atmosphere in the heating chamber and a paint-spraying nozzle projecting into the interior of the heating chamber. With this construction, the barrel atmosphere is heated and cooled immediately after the barrel has been received in and removed from the hot atmosphere in the preheated heating chamber so that the paint-spraying, setting, baking and cooling steps can be carried out at a relatively short period of time. An open end of the heating chamber is directed verticalaly downwardly while the heating chamber is held in an elevated waiting position remote from the barrel, thereby preventing the hot atmosphere in the heating chamber from escaping from the heating chamber.</p> |
