Abstract
A paint spray apparatus for painting a vehicle in a paint spray booth includes a paint spray arm, a pump, and a motor and transmission adapted to drive the pump. The paint spray arm is disposed within the paint spray booth and has a nozzle disposed at a free end of the paint spray arm. The pump is mounted on said paint spray arm adjacent the nozzle. The motor is disposed remote from the pump outside the paint spray booth. The transmission drives the pump from the motor. In one embodiment, the paint spray arm may move in several planes. The transmission is adapted to allow for movement of the paint spray arm in the plane while the motor drives the pump. In a preferred embodiment, separate motors are provided which actuate the paint spray arm in the planes.
