  • Patent number: 5137215
    Abstract: A centrifugal device for atomizing a coating product comprises a generally bowl-shape rotating member having an inside wall substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating member between a drive hub and the interior surface of the bowl. The wall defines within the bowl a front cavity open in the spraying direction and a rear cavity surrounding the hub. A coating product nozzle and a cleaning product nozzle are accommodated in the rear cavity and are both directed towards the wall. Passages are formed at the outside periphery of the wall near the interior surface, and the wall incorporates an annular opening communicating with the rear cavity and within which is defined a reflector surface adapted to reflect some of a jet of liquid towards the central part of the wall. The cleaning product nozzle is oriented towards the reflector surface.

  • Patent number: 5106025
    Abstract: An electrostatic coating product sprayer device is provided with quick cleaning means. The sprayer device comprises a rotatable sprayer member and at least one cleaning product nozzle fixed relative to the rotatable member. The nozzle is directed towards a generally convex surface of the rotatable member so that the jet from it impinges on the generally convex surface with a large angle of incidence. The nozzle is disposed in the immediate proximity of the generally convex surface, to its rear.

  • Patent number: 4767057
    Abstract: A spray nozzle comprises a liquid passage, spray air passages adapted to create a divergent jet of sprayed liquid and shaping air passages for shaping this jet. The shaping air passages include first passages having axes coplanar with the liquid passage. They converge to form a divergent flattened jet coplanar with the liquid passage and having a median plane perpendicular to the plane containing the axes of the first passages and the liquid passage. The shaping air passages also include second passages having axes disposed symmetrically to each side of the aforementioned plane and directed towards the aforementioned median plane.
