Controlled dispersions of coatings

Claim 3

The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said first means is mounted for movement in lance fashion along the line of said axis for coating the inside surfaces of hollow containers.

Claim 5

The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said transportation system and said configured orifice nozzle means are substantially parallel to and substantially centered about said axis.

Claim 6

The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said first means rotates in a horizontal plane driven by a shaft having a vertical axis and said configured orifice nozzle means fixedly disposed near said plane.

Claim 8

The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said cross-sectional shape is non-circular and includes a notched portion along at least one side to provide a greater coating distribution therethrough.

Claim 9

The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said cross-sectional shape is substantially a parallogram.

Claim 10

The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said cross-sectional shape is substantially a triangle.

Claim 11

A hollow container coating system for selectively spraying the inside surfaces of a container by radial disbursion of coating material from a spray head comprising: (a) a spray head being an upwardly cup shaped vessel supported with its bottom in a horizontal plane and having windowed side walls for tangential distribution of coating material deposited within said cup, (b) a drive shaft extending vertically downward to said cup bottom from a rotating device and arranged to support and rotate said cup at high angular velocities, (c) a coating material delivery tube concentrically about said drive shaft and extending from above the mouth of said cup shaped vessel upwardly to a pressurized coating supply, (d) valving associated with said delivery tube for defining predetermined masses of pressurized coating material for timed transmission through said tube in prescribed flow relation, (e) a shaped passage ending in a configured generally non-circular orifice nozzle means said passage extending downward from said tube into said cup shaped vessel amid said windowed side walls and in alignment with said cup bottom for forming a cross-sectionally shaped deposit for feeding into said vessel said nozzle means having a configuration bearing a relationship to the distribution pattern desired for disbursing coating material in a predetermined manner.

Claim 12

A hollow container coating system for selectively spraying the inside surfaces of a container by radial disbursion of coating material from a spray head comprising: (a) a spray head being an upwardly cup shaped vessel supported with its bottom in a horizontal plane and having windowed side walls for tangential distribution of coating material deposited within said cup, (b) a drive shaft extending vertically downward to said cup bottom from a rotating device and arranged to support and rotate said cup at high angular velocities, (c) a coating material delivery tube concentrically about said drive shaft and extending from above the mouth of said cup shaped vessel upwardly to a pressurized coating supply, (d) valving associated with said delivery tube for defining predetermined masses of pressurized coating material for timed transmission through said tube in prescribed flow relation, (e) a shaped passage ending in a configured generally non-circular orifice nozzle means said passage extending downward from said tube into said cup shaped vessel amid said windowed side walls and in alignment with said cup bottom for forming a cross-sectionally shaped deposit for feeding into said vessel said nozzle means having a configuration bearing a relationship to the distribution pattern desired for disbursing coating material in a predetermined manner.
