  • Patent number: 4342326
    Abstract: A high speed furniture stripping apparatus of the solvent recirculating type comprises an array of solvent-carrying tubes within an enclosure. The solvent-carrying tubes have spray nozzles in their side walls, and internal air-carrying tubes, coaxial with the solvent tubes and having pin holes aligned with the solvent nozzles. When air is supplied to the air tubes under pressure, blasts of air from the pin holes atomize the solvent into fine droplets and project the droplets at high velocity against the furniture. Each of the air tubes is affixed to a nipple threaded into an end wall of a solvent-carrying tube. Rotation of the nipple adjusts the relationship between the nozzles and the pin holes for optimum spray conditions.
