Abstract:
A material coating system to apply charged materials to objects to be coated by electrostatic spray guns. The spray gun itself has a double cone-shaped deflecting member in its barrel and an adjustable collar on its barrel to change the spray pattern. An internal electrode in the material conveying tube charges the material and a wound wire ground connection attached to the gun prevents an accumulation of charge at the gun. A material storage bin with multiple venturis feeds material to the gun by suction via its conveying tube. In addition, a polarity reversing circuit allows the power source to apply different charges to sprayed materials.
