Abstract
Abstract A device for adjusting to a predetermined value the rate of flow of air introduced into an enclosed space having at least one inlet for introducing warm or cold air by means of a fan into the enclosed space includes structure for controlling the velocity of the air thus introduced into the enclosed space, structure for varying the velocity of rotation of the fan, at least one extractor for discharging the air from the enclosed space, and structure responsive to the pressure prevailing in the enclosed space for setting the extractor speed so that the removal of air from the enclosed space is adjusted automatically as a function of the predetermined volume of air introduced into the enclosed space.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A painting structure comprising: a painting cabin having therein an enclosed chamber for the receipt of material to be painted; air inlet means opening into said chamber for introducing air thereinto; fan means for pumpimng said air through said air inlet means into said chamber; means for detecting the velocity of said air introduced into said chamber; means for adjusting the rotational speed of said fan means for maintaining the volume and the velocity of said air introduced into said chamber at constant predetermined values as a function of the volume of said material to be painted within said chamber; extractor means for removing said air from said chamber; and regulating means, operatively connected to said extractor means, for detecting the pressure within said chamber and for automatically controlling the operation of said extractor means as a function of said predetermined volume of said air introduced into said chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A painting structure comprising: a painting cabin having therein an enclosed chamber for the receipt of material to be painted; air inlet means opening into said chamber for introducing air thereinto; fan means for pumpimng said air through said air inlet means into said chamber; means for detecting the velocity of said air introduced into said chamber; means for adjusting the rotational speed of said fan means for maintaining the volume and the velocity of said air introduced into said chamber at constant predetermined values as a function of the volume of said material to be painted within said chamber; extractor means for removing said air from said chamber; and regulating means, operatively connected to said extractor means, for detecting the pressure within said chamber and for automatically controlling the operation of said extractor means as a function of said predetermined volume of said air introduced into said chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said velocity detecting means is located in said air inlet means, and further comprising gauge means for displaying the value of velocity detected by said velocity detecting means and for presetting said predetermined air velocity value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein said adjusting means comprises a variable speed gear connected to said fan means and to said gauge means, and means incorporated in said gauge means, for automatically operatiing said variable speed gear for adjusting said rotational speed of said fan means.
