Abstract
An exteriorly mounted and positionable spray coating nozzle assembly for a spray coating system wherein a series of workpieces to be coated, such as bottles, are conveyed into a spray cabinet, along a path through a spray chamber, and past a bank of spray nozzles which apply a coating to the workpieces. A nozzle assembly support which is pivotally mounted to the outside of the spray cabinet permits the entire assembly to be swung to laterally position the nozzles relative to the length of the workpieces. The nozzles in turn are carried on a pivotal nozzle block which further permits the nozzles to be turned to adjust the aim of the nozzles with respect to the workpieces. The two pivotal movements provide for accurate aiming of the nozzles with greater lateral adjustability of the nozzles for spraying different length workpieces. The nozzle assembly further provides for the nozzles to be readily moved into and out of the spray chamber through a chamber port and toward and away from the path of the workpieces being conveyed past the nozzles to adjust the workpiece to nozzle distance. The nozzles can also be completely withdrawn from the chamber permitting ready access to them for mai…
