Abstract: A baffle assembly for intercepting paint particles passing through a spray booth is disclosed. The baffle assembly includes an inner plate and an outer plate adjacent each end or edge of the inner plate. The inner plate is comprised of a central planar portion, which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of air flow, and having outer ends which are curved in an upstream direction and inwardly toward one another. Each outer plate includes a curved portion which terminates in a semi-circular portion. The inner plate is received and positioned within the outer plates so that each of its outer ends is substantially surrounded by and equidistant from its adjacent outer plate. In this manner, air flows between the inner plate and the outer plate in a first curved direction and then in a second opposite curved direction.

Abstract: A grounding apparatus for supporting an article during manufacture, preferably including a trolley, a hanger assembly and a hook assembly. The trolley is moveable along, and electrically connected to, a conveyor track for transporting the articles. The hook assembly supports the article and comprises an electrically conductive, rotatable, hook and base. The hanger assembly is electrically conductive and secures the hook assembly to the trolley. The hook assembly includes a rotatable hook and base having an electrically conductive brush fixedly attached to the base and contacting the rotating hook and base to electrically connect the hook with the base, and define an electrically conductive path between the article and the trolley.
