Urban BISCHOFBERGER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11344902
    Abstract: A powder conveying device for coating powder includes a powder conveyor having a powder outlet duct and a powder outlet valve for opening or for closing the powder outlet duct. Additionally, a setpoint value generator for specify a setpoint opening period of the powder outlet valve, and a sensor for determining the actual opening period of the powder outlet valve are provided. The powder conveying device furthermore includes an evaluation unit for determining the deviation between the setpoint opening period and the actual opening period.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11305305
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an electrostatic atomizer for liquids, the atomizer comprising a liquid tank and a delivery device for liquid from the liquid tank, a high-voltage source and also at least one atomizer nozzle for the atomization of liquid, the at least one atomizer nozzle being connected to the high-voltage source. Here, the voltage and/or the current intensity at at least one of the atomizer nozzles are detected by sensors of control electronics and/or the voltage and/or the current intensity at the high-voltage source are detected by sensors of the control electronics.

  • Patent number: 9616440
    Abstract: The electrode holder for a powder spray gun operable at high voltage includes a powder channel and a web, arranged in the powder channel, for holding a high-voltage electrode. In addition, an annular groove arranged concentrically with the powder channel is provided and is open on the downstream side. A labyrinth for the high voltage is formed by the annular groove together with an annular web of a cap nut, the annular web protruding into the annular groove and said cap nut being used to lock the electrode holder.
