Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for coating a body with a variable depth coating by means disposed externally of the body. In one form, the means comprises means for delivering a nonuniform cloud of coating particles to the body for deposit thereon to define a preselected nonuniform coating. In another form, the means comprises means for providing a uniform cloud of coating particles to the body and means for removing at least a portion of the deposited particles. The removing means comprises in one form means for blowing off deposited particles and in another form means for brushing off deposited particles. Electrostatic means may be employed for releasably retaining the deposited particles.
