New or Improved Machinery for Painting.
I Alfred SLATER of Horton Lawn Gloucester in the County of Gloucester
Manager to The Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company Limited do
bereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a machine or apparatus capable of being driven by
power and of painting the surface of timber or other material.
The machine consists of a revolving brush or of revolving brushes which applies
or apply the paint to the surface which is passed under it. The paint is fed on to
the brush or to each brush through rollers pressing against each other and covered
with india-rubber, or equivalent substance, which is kept in contact with the
surface of the brush. Over the rollers is a paint container the paint from which is
fed onto the rollers which distribute it to the brush and so on to the timber or
material. For any moulding or chamfer, or other uneven surface, there are
suitably shaped rollers or brushes in contact with the material to be painted. The
table on which the material to be painted runs is adjustable and can be raised or
lowered to suit any thickness, and is provided with automatic feed motion for
moving the material to be painted.

New or improved Machinery for Painting.
1 Alfred SlaTER of Horton Lawn Gloucester in the County of Gloucester
Manager to The Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Limited do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My invention consists of a machine or apparatus capable of being driven by
power and of painting the surface of timber or other material with ordinary paint
or equivalent coating material such as tar for example.
The machine consists of a revolving brush or of revolving brushes which applies
or apply the paint or the like to the surface which is passed under it.
The paint
or the like is fed on to the brush or to each brush through rollers pressing against
and revolving towards each other and covered with india rubber, or equivalent
substance, which are kept in contact with the surface of the brush. Over the
rollers is a vessel the paint or the like from which is fed on to the rollers which
distribute it to the brush and so on to the timber or material. For any moulding
or chamfer, or other uneven surface, there are suitably shaped rollers or brushes
in contact with the material to be painted. The table on which the material to be
treated runs is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to suit any thickness, and is
provided with automatic feed motion for moving the material to be treated.

page_text: The accompanying drawing shews in sectional side elevation in Figure 1 and in
end elevation in Figure 2 machines constructed in accordance with my invention.
The revolving brush A is mounted in bearings in the main frame G G. The
paint or the like is fed on to the said brush by means of a pair of rollers B B
covered with india rubber or equivalent substance, the said rollers bearing against
and revolving towards each other and against the brush A. The pressure of the
rollers against each other is capable of adjustment to regulate the feed of paint or
the like to the brush. The paint or the like is contained in vessel or cistern C
and is fed therefrom on to the rollers B B through taps c c.
The
The table D on which the material to be treated is supported and traversed is
adjustable and can be raised or lowered by means of the handwheel and screw d to
suit any thickness of material and is provided with rollers or runners e.
automatic feed gear F F may be adjusted to suit the requirements of the material
to be operated upon and it is provided with pressure springs ff to give the
necessary grip to traverse the material beneath the brush.
The machine can be driven direct from the source of power by a band passed
over the fast and loose pulleys gg (Figure 2) on the axis of the brush. A single
belt working on pulleys H, preferably on the opposite side of the machine drives
the automatic feeds F and rollers B B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In painting machinery the combination with a revolving brush or revolving
brushes of rollers and means for supplying paint between them for application to
the brush or brushes substantially as herein before described and illustrated.
2. The arrangement and combination of parts constituting a painting machine
substantially as hereinbefore described. and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
