Abstract:
An attachment to an airbrush provides fine line detail with relatively slow movement of the airbrush and attachment. The attachment couples to the nose of an airbrush and receives the atomized media spray from the airbrush within a chamber. The chamber couples to atmosphere through a relatively large bypass orifice and through a relatively small fine line detail nozzle orifice. A majority of the media passes from the bypass orifice, however the media emerging from the attachment fine line detail nozzle orifice and applied to a workpiece to produces fine line detail work without requiring rapid movement of the airbrush relative to the workpiece.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a waste solution and a exhaust gas are guided together from a drain cup DC into a storing means through common discharge means. Naturally, the gas-liquid separation is performed within the storing means in place of performing the gas-liquid separation within the drain cup DC. Therefore, the waste solution is not solidified within the drain cup so as to plug the common discharge means. Also, a predetermined waste solution is kept stored in the storing means included in the coating apparatus of the present invention, making it possible to permit the surface of the stored waste solution to absorb the mist, and the waste solution is prevented from being solidified within the storing means. Further, since a minimum amount of the exhaust gas is kept discharged even during non-operation of the coating apparatus by using an exhaust gas damper whose degree of opening can be controlled, the waste solution stored in the storing means is prevented from being solidified. Also, the waste solution evaporated within the storing means can be released to the outside.
Abstract:
A method of stopping excessive leakage from sprinkler heads of a liquid piping network. Firstly, providing a backflow inducer housing divided by a flexible diaphragm into a first compartment on a first side of the diaphragm and a second compartment on a second side of the diaphragm. The relative volume of the first compartment and the second compartment change with the positioning of the diaphragm. A spring is provided in the first compartment to bias the diaphragm toward a backflow inducing position in which the volume of the first compartment is larger than the volume of the second compartment. Secondly, connecting a first inlet/outlet of the housing to a liquid piping network. Thirdly, connecting a second inlet/outlet of the housing to a source of pressurized working fluid. The diaphragm is moved by the pressurized working fluid toward an operational position in which the volume of the second compartment is larger than the volume of the first compartment. Fourthly, providing controls to exhaust the second compartment of the backflow inducer housing simultaneously with the termination of spraying. The diaphragm is rapidly moved to the backflow inducing position thereby drawing sufficient liquid from the liquid piping system to prevent excessive leakage of the sprinkler heads.

Abstract:
A variable form spray system includes a robot manipulator, a masking tool assembly integrated with the manipulator, sealer supply hardware which supplies spray material to the manipulator and sealer recovery hardware which recovers material sprayed and skived by the masking tool assembly. Spray pattern form is controlled by collecting overspray using adjustable skive manifolds of the assembly on each side of the spray pattern which function to vacuum off the edges of the airless spray pattern. The positions of the skive manifolds are programmable.
