Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for electrostatically depositing liquid coating material
IPC: B05B5/053
Filed: 1957-03-20
Abstract: <PICT:0865763/III/1> An apparatus for the electrostatic spray painting of an article includes a gun having an elongated body, from one end of which paint is mechanically atomized, and wherein a current path extends from a high voltage source to the vicinity of the atomizing means, whereby the paint is charged, the current path presenting an effective resistance of two or more megohms per kilovolt of the source, the resistance being disposed closely to the atomizing means.  The resistance may be provided by passing the current through the paint for a suitable distance immediately behind the atomizing means.  As shown, the gun has an earthed metal handle portion 60 and a barrel-like portion 61 made of non-conducting material, e.g. polyethylene.  Paint is supplied under pressure through an insulating hose 62, made e.g. of nylon, to an atomizing nozzle 63 made of wear-resistant material, e.g. sapphire, stainless steel, or tungsten carbide.  The supply of paint may be controlled by the trigger 66 making contact between terminals 68 on wires 69 controlling a valve (not shown).  Hose 62 is insulated by conduit 61a, which may be fabricated integrally with barrel 61, or welded to it.  An earthed sheath 60a of braided metal is provided over it.  A metal wire 65 inside the tube 62 carries the p  high voltage, and terminates sufficiently far from the nozzle 63 to provide a current path through the paint having the required resistance.  In use, the wire 65 is connected with one terminal of a power pack, the other terminal of which is earthed.  The article to be coated, which may be transported past the gun on a conveyer, is also earthed.  The nozzle 63, if of conductive material should be small, to have a low effective capacity, so that if the operator or any earthed object approaches it too closely, the spark produced will not be sufficient to produce an objectionable electric shock or fire hazard.

Title: Improvements in pumps for dispensing petrol oil and the like
IPC: G07F13/02
Filed: 1925-04-09
Abstract: 255,136. Jevons, W. H. April 9, 1925. Rack-and-pinion actuated pumps; stroke, varying; measuring-devices.-A pump for delivering predetermined quantities of petrol &c. is actuated by rack-and-pinion K and has a coin-freed mechanism controlling the operation of the rack. An adjustable sfop k on the rack determines the stroke of the rack. The spindle of the pinion a is in two parts A. A<1> connected by a clutch a<1> and extends through the casing C to carry an operating crank A<3>. A sliding clutch B is keyed on the spindle A<1> and may be moved into engagement with either of two fixed clutches B<1>, B<2>. of which the clutch B<1> prevents forward rotation of the pinion for operating the pump on the delivery stroke, and the clutch B<2> prevents rotation in the opposite direction. The clutch B is moved by two arms D fixed to a rocking spindle D<1> operated by a pair of toggle-levers E, E<1> connected by a spring e which moves them over the dead centre. The lever E is connected by a pin e<1> to the lower end of a lever F loosely mounted on the spindle D<1> and adapted to be moved by a push rod g carrying a bar G with a slot g<1> to receive the coin from a shoot H'. When the bar is pushed in, the top of the coin engages the lever F and swings it over, thereby moving the lever E until the spring e reverses the lever E<1>. The end of the lever E<1> engages a pin e<3> on an arm F<1> fixed to the shaft D<1>, so that the shaft is rocked to move the clutch into engagement with the clutch B<2>. The shaft A<1> can then be rotated to deliver the liquid until the stop k engages a bell-crank lever L, which operates a lever M to reverse the levers E, E<1> and restore the mechanism to its initial position. The spindle A<1> is then rotated in the opposite direction to return the pump plunger to its bottom position. When the plunger reaches this position, the rack operates a lever Q<1> to raise a rod Q against the action of a spring q and thereby withdraw from the coin slot a rod p which prevents a coin from entering the slot until the pump plunger is at the bottom position. In another form, the lever F is returned by a screw and nut operated through gearing by the crank A<3>. An arm N fixed to the spindle D<1> may be operated by an attendant to bring the clutch B into neutral position when it is desired to cut out the coinfreed mechanism.
