  • Publication number: 20050211800
    Abstract: A convergent type of spray gun is made portable by miniaturizing the components with the addition of a double tube, fluid tip and air cap for defining the discharge nozzle for the first fluid and atomizing air. The other fluid nozzle for flowing another fluid is likewise miniaturized and is adapted to fit over the double tube, fluid tip and air cap arrangement by including a sleeve disposed therebetween. The main body is configured in either an L-shape or straight-through configuration. Although the component parts are miniaturized, the spray gun is capable of flowing coating mixture at the same rate as the larger version convergent spray gun.

  • Patent number: 6074085
    Abstract: A pair of concentric tubes having an inlet and an outlet with the outer tube being closed at either end and the inner tube having a plurality of holes with compound angles designed to impart a swirling motion of the air admitted into the interior of the inner mixing tube. The holes are judiciously located around the inner tube for creating a swirling pattern. The inlet of the tubes leads the dry particles of two different compositions intended to be mixed into the mixer and the outlet leads the mixture to the next station utilizing the mixture. Air admitted internally of the outer tube feed the plurality of holes and the force of the air can be controlled to control the transport of the mixed particles.

  • Patent number: 5927609
    Abstract: A wand with a convergent spray end effector is utilized in a portable coating system for roofs, skid proof walk-ways and the like and includes a system of transporting the resin and dry filler materials to the end effector by including a movable cart that is capable of being raised that carries the pumps, meters, eductor and its dry powder feeder and optional pressure pots for the resin and including the necessary hoses to convey the materials to the wand. The wand includes the trigger and the necessary controls for effectuating the spray of the coating on the surface of the substrate.
