Abstract
Abstract An electrostatic spray coating apparatus. Piping for supplying paint, operating air, etc. is divided in the middle of its course between a pressurized air source and downstream portions such as an air motor and a color-change valve, and is connected by a joint at these divided points. The apparatus can thereby be put to functional testing before it is installed on its work spot.
