Abstract
Abstract A method of and apparatus for collecting overspray materials from an article coating station wherein a velocity differential in the air stream of the duct system employed selectively transports and effects removal of solids from the overspray materials. A secondary filter removes fine mist and powdered coatings from the overspray. One section of the duct system is preferably made from disposable materials and a removable liner is preferably used in a collecting receptacle to facilitate clean up operations after the coating is completed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system which comprises: (a) a collection receptacle for receiving solid particles from the overspray of said coating system, (b) a main support means attachable to said collection receptacle, (c) a first duct system held by said main support means having an inlet end adapted to be positioned adjacent a coating station and an outlet end positioned within said collection receptacle, (d) a second duct system held by said main support means having an inlet end in fluid communication with the outlet end of said first duct system, (e) said first duct system being made from disposable materials and being in the form of a pair of interfitting tubular members, (f) said main support means including a tube support frame having a plug member over which a first of said pair of tubular members is telescoped and frictionally received thereon and the other of said tubular members is inserted through a side wall of the first tubular member and provided with a truncated end to provide a right angle turn for the overspray materials.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
182 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system which comprises: (a) a collection receptacle for receiving solid particles from the overspray of said coating system, (b) a main support means attachable to said collection receptacle, (c) a first duct system held by said main support means having an inlet end adapted to be positioned adjacent a coating station and an outlet end positioned within said collection receptacle, (d) a second duct system held by said main support means having an inlet end in fluid communication with the outlet end of said first duct system, (e) said first duct system being made from disposable materials and being in the form of a pair of interfitting tubular members, (f) said main support means including a tube support frame having a plug member over which a first of said pair of tubular members is telescoped and frictionally received thereon and the other of said tubular members is inserted through a side wall of the first tubular member and provided with a truncated end to provide a right angle turn for the overspray materials.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system as defined in claim 1 wherein said first duct system is made from paper tubes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system as defined in claim 1 wherein said second duct system includes a secondary filter means held by said main support means for filtering fine mist and powdered coatings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system as defined in claim 1 including means to establish an air stream velocity concurrently in each of said duct systems of a magnitude which will transport solids in said overspray in said first duct system but which is insufficient to transport solids in said overspray to said second duct system.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
An apparatus for collecting the overspray of a coating system as defined in claim 4 wherein said means to establish an air stream velocity in each of said duct systems establishes a vacuum pressure therein.
