Abstract:
One or more nozzles of the type which ejects liquid in sprays at a speed of at least 250 m/sec. are arranged to eject sprays of liquid at an angle of 90* with reference to a workpiece. A receptacle is provided for receiving the rubber which is shredded off the workpiece by the impingement of these sprays of liquid, and an arrangement for effecting relative movement of the workpiece and the nozzles is also provided.
Abstract:
A spray head supplies paint under pressure and is mounted for pivotal movement through 90*. A spray nozzle receives the paint from the spray head and has a passage which converges towards its outlet. The spray nozzle is also mounted for 90* pivotal movement, and coupling means couples the spray head with the spray nozzle, so that the same will move in unison between their respective positions so that the spray nozzle may be pivoted from spraying position to a position in which its outlet is directed away from the surface to be sprayed and permits clearing of the passage.
Abstract:
A housing has an outlet and can be mounted on a vessel so that the outlet communicates with the inlet opening of the vessel. The housing accommodates a reel on which a hose is mounted and the hose carries one or more hydrodynamic cleaning devices which can be lowered into and withdrawn out of the vessel by turning of the reel. A valve can close the outlet when the cleaning device is not to be used.
Abstract:
A continuous surface is treated by advancing over it an apparatus provided at its leading end with a cleaning device and downstream of the cleaning device with one or more containers which are evacuated and each have an open side facing the just cleaned surface portion in sealing engagement therewith and carrying in its interior a drying and/or applicator device for applying a protective layer to the just cleaned surface portion.
Abstract:
A cleaning device for the interior of tanks, silos and the like has a foldable and spreadable framework carrying spray heads. The framework can be folded to permit insertion through an opening, and can then be spread in the interior of the receptacle. The interior framework can be rotated about a longitudinal axis, and each of the spray heads can in itself be rotated with reference to the framework.
Abstract:
Arrangement for moving a working station with reference to a substantially vertical surface, particularly the external surface of a ship hull. A vehicle is advanced in a horizontal path adjacent to and along the surface and a working station, movably supported on the vehicle, is simultaneously moved in a substantially vertical path with reference to the travelling vehicle between an upper and a lower end position whereby it moves along a substantially vertical strip of the surface. On reaching one or the other of its end positions, the working station is rapidly shifted in the direction of advancement of the vehicle and thereupon again moved in a substantially vertical path with reference to the travelling vehicle along another substantially vertical strip of the surface which is directly adjacent to but does not overlap over the first vertical strip.
