Publication number: 20220063933Abstract: A plant for treatment of bodyworks may include: at least one trolley configured to support a bodywork to be treated; a conveying line configured to transport the at least one trolley along the plant; a first system configured to move the at least one trolley along the conveying line; a second system configured to move the at least one trolley along the conveying line; and sensors configured to detect angular position of a toothed traction wheel and approaching movement of the at least one trolley toward the toothed traction wheel. The at least one trolley may include a traction rack extending in a direction of movement of the at least one trolley along the conveying line in at least one zone of the plant. The toothed traction wheel may be configured to engage the traction rack upon passage of the at least one trolley into the at least one zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Valerio IGLIO, Salvatore FRUSTACI

Patent number: 11084669Abstract: A plant for immersion treatment of vehicle bodies may include: at least one skid configured to support a body; at least one process liquid tank; and/or a conveyor line configured to convey the at least one skid above the at least one process liquid tank. The at least one skid may include base and support parts. The support part may be supported on the base part using a rotatable shaft, so that the support part is rotatable between a first position, in which the body is not immersed in the at least one process liquid tank, and a second position for immersing the body in the at least one process liquid tank. The at least one skid may include a toothed wheel connected to the rotatable shaft for controlled rotation. The at least one skid may include a controllable locking/unlocking device configured to lock/unlock free rotation of the rotatable shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: GEICO S.P.A.Inventors: Valerio Iglio, Paolo Colombaroli, Giampaolo Covizzi

Patent number: 10870125Abstract: A painting booth may include: a painting chamber and/or an overspray removal unit. Paint may be sprayed in the painting chamber. The painting chamber may be crossed by an air flow for evacuation of overspray from the painting chamber. When exiting the chamber, the air flow may pass through the overspray removal unit in order to remove the overspray from the air flow. The overspray removal unit may include an incoherent mass of cleaning elements kept in a stirred condition, through which the air flow containing the overspray passes so as to release the overspray onto the cleaning elements. A method for removing overspray from air flow exiting a painting booth may include: passing the air flow through an incoherent mass of cleaning elements which are kept in a stirred condition, so as to release the overspray onto the cleaning elements of the incoherent mass.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: GEICO S.P.A.Inventors: Valerio Iglio, Alessandro Di Lucrezia

Patent number: 10370197Abstract: A plant for immersion treatment of vehicle bodies may include at least one skid configured to support a body; at least one process liquid tank; a line configured to convey the at least one skid above the at least one tank; and/or a device configured to overturn and immerse, inside the at least one tank, the body on the at least one skid positioned over the at least one tank using the conveyor line. The at least one skid may include a base part and a support part. The support part may be supported rotatably on the base part using a rotatable shaft with axis arranged transverse to a direction of movement of the at least one skid on the conveyor line, so that the support part is rotatable between a first upper position and a second position for immersing the body in the at least one tank.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: GEICO S.P.A.Inventors: Valerio Iglio, Paolo Colombaroli, Giampaolo Covizzi
