  • Patent number: 11951491
    Abstract: A spray applicator is disclosed. The spray applicator can include a carrier body including a number of contact surfaces and at least two nozzle bodies. Each nozzle body can be fastened on one of the contact surfaces and have a spray slit for producing a spray jet fanned out transversely to a center plane. the center planes can cross one another along a straight line. The straight line can extend outside the carrier body. The contact surfaces can face the straight line and be offset with respect to one another in the direction of the straight line.

  • Patent number: 10081029
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a paint mist separating device, and a paint booth having a paint mist separating device. The paint mist separating device can include a tapered tube, and a collecting funnel with a funnel inlet and a funnel neck, into which the larger end of the tapered tube projects, wherein the funnel neck is provided for connection to a collecting tank for paint. The paint mist separating device can include a collecting hood, which is arranged opposite the funnel inlet and which has a paint mist inlet opening, into which a smaller end of the tapered tube opens, wherein an outlet gap is provided between the inlet opening of the collecting funnel and the collecting hood.

  • Patent number: 8359997
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of fixedly mounted painting robots in a painting booth, wherein the painting booth is subdivided by an imaginary vertical plane into a first spatial region and a second spatial region and wherein at least two painting robots with overlapping working areas are arranged in at least one of the two regions. A respective reference point of a painting robot is a point of intersection of a first axis of rotation with a painting robot base of the painting robot concerned. Each reference point is arranged above an imaginary horizontal plane which is determined by the vertically highest point of a predetermined object to be painted in the painting position, and the reference points are offset with respect to one another in the vertical direction and/or horizontally, transversely in relation to the vertical plane.
