  • Patent number: 8851399
    Abstract: The invention relates to a member (10) for spraying a coating product comprising a primary surface (20) for spreading the product and at least two secondary, inner (21) and outer (22) surfaces for spreading the product that extend downstream of the primary surface (20), the primary (20) and secondary (21, 22) surfaces being coaxial (X10-X10), the downstream portions of the secondary surfaces (21, 22) defining an inner spraying edge (23) and an outer spraying edge (24). The downstream portions (21b, 22b) of the secondary surfaces (21, 22) have, relative to one another, directions (A21, A22) that are overall divergent towards the downstream direction. The inner edge (23) has a diameter substantially smaller than the diameter of the outer edge (24).

  • Patent number: 7726524
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve (1), comprising a body (2), within which a needle (3) moves, which can rest with sealing against a seat (23), fixed to the body (2). The needle (3) is magnetically coupled to an actuator body (5), across a closed and a magnetic chamber (4) provided with several magnets (52) between which magnetic bodies (53) are interspersed. The needle (3) has no magnets and is provided with ribs (36) made from a magnetic material. According to the invention, an improved magnetic coupling may be achieved, whereby the thickness and the relative separation of the ribs (36) are largely equal to the thickness (e53) and the relative separation (l52) of the magnetic bodies (53).

  • Patent number: 7041173
    Abstract: The bowl according to the invention is provided with magnetic elements disposed around a male part which is adapted to be engaged in a central channel of a drive member, the magnetic elements forming outer radial flanges with respect to this male part. In the spraying device, the bowl is associated with a drive rotor, magnetic coupling means being provided which comprise magnetic bodies disposed on either side of at least one magnet borne by the rotor, while the bowl bears ribs formed in a magnetic material. The effort of magnetic coupling obtained has a radial component with respect to the axis of rotation of the bowl.

  • Patent number: 5685495
    Abstract: System for fixing a rotary spraying element to a drive rotor. According to the invention, the rotary spraying element (12) for projecting the coating product is attached to drive means (14) by means of an elastic coupling element (25). Centrifugal force increases assembly retaining force.

  • Patent number: 5310120
    Abstract: An electrostatic device for spraying electrically conductive liquid coating product comprises a storage tank for the product in which the product is at a high voltage. The tank is defined in a substantially cylindrical cavity formed in an insulative material body and inside in which is a piston forming in the cavity a mobile wall separating a coating product chamber from an actuation chamber filled with an electrically insulative actuation fluid. The body is fixed to a conductive material socket which is grounded and to which is connected an actuation fluid supply circuit extending between the socket and the actuation chamber and discharging into the actuation chamber near a back wall of the cavity which is not in contact with the coating product. A section of the supply circuit runs substantially parallel to the cavity in the direction away from the socket starting from the back wall.
