PAINTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF PAINTING SMALL DETAILS ON AN ARTICLE

摘要

A device for painting small details on an article includes a nozzle (7) having a work-contacting surface (9), an inlet port (5) adapted to receive a pressurised supply of paint, and a paint conduit (8) extending to the work-contacting surface 9. A valve (10) is interposed in the conduit (8) to control the flow of paint to the work-contacting surface (9) and an actuator (16) is provided for operating the valve. The nozzle may be cleaned by a rotatable brush which, in use, is partially immersed in cleaning fluid contained in a reservoir. IMAGE
