Abstract
An apparatus for painting parts of large surface area, the apparatus having a spray gun movable to and fro, and also rotatable, relative to a part to be painted. The gun is carried by a swivel member rotatably mounted by a cantilever arm which is mounted for rocking motions about first and second axes, one at right angles to the other, and the swivel member and gun being rotatable about a swivel axis which is at right angles to both these first and second axes. The swivel member is an elongated rod parallel to the cantilever arm, the arm being mounted on a rockable shaft, the axis of which is said first axis, the spray gun being mounted on the free end of the swivel rod. A positively actuatable cam control produces rocking motion of the cantilever arm about the second axis; a mechanical coupling couples the swivel rod to the cantilever arm so that rotation of the spray gun is derived from the motion of the cantilever arm about the first axis, which motion moves the spray gun to and fro and is substantially independent of the second axis which moves the spray gun backwards and forwards.
