Abstract:
A coating material is uniformly applied on an inner wall surface of a container while preventing leakage of the coating material and an increase in an installation space. An application apparatus ( 10 ) that applies a coating material (L) on an inner wall surface of a container (C) includes: a spray gun ( 20 ) having a spray nozzle ( 22 ); an outgoing pipe ( 30 ) and a return pipe ( 33 ); a supply controller ( 50 ); a rotary driver ( 60 ); and a mover ( 70 ), wherein the outgoing pipe ( 30 ) and the return pipe ( 33 ) are each provided with a resilient-shape part ( 32, 35 ) capable of extending and contracting resiliently.

Claim (Index 1):
An application apparatus that applies a coating material on an inner wall surface of a container, comprising:\n a spray gun having a spray nozzle and including a coating material ejection passage formed therein; an outgoing pipe and a return pipe attached to said spray gun and forming a coating material circulatory path connecting to said coating material ejection passage; a supply controller that controls supply of the coating material from said coating material circulatory path to said coating material ejection passage; a rotary driver that rotates said spray gun around an axis extending along a longitudinal direction of the gun; and a mover that moves said spray gun along the longitudinal direction of the gun, wherein said spray gun includes, formed therein, said coating material ejection passage connecting to said spray nozzle, and a coating material passage connecting to said coating material ejection passage; said outgoing pipe and said return pipe each have one end attached to an outer circumferential part of said spray gun that is rotatable so as to connect directly with said coating material passage, and form said coating material circulatory path together with said coating material passage; said supply controller includes an open/close valve provided between said coating material passage and said coating material ejection passage and is configured to supply the coating material from said coating material passage to said coating material ejection passage by opening and closing said valve; said outgoing pipe and said return pipe are each provided with a coil-like resilient-shape part capable of extending and contracting resiliently; and said coil-like resilient-shape parts of said outgoing pipe and said return pipe are disposed outside said spray gun so as not to surround said spray gun that is rotatable.
