Attorney, Agent or Firm:
Electrostatic fluidized bed coating apparatus utilizes an electrode which provides a multiplicity of charge-concentrating portions, into contact with which an air stream is directed in a flow path conforming substantially to the form thereof and to effect ionization thereof. This ionized air is then used for simultaneous fluidization and charging of a particulate coating material. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT Turning now in detail to the appended drawing, therein illustrated is electrostatic fluidized bed coating apparatus embodying the invention hereof, and including an open-top housing, generally designated by the numeral 10, terminating in an outwardly-extending upper peripheral flange 16.
A rectangular tray, generally designated by the numeral 18, is removably seated within the open top of the housing and comprises a sidewall 20 having a flange 22 extending outwardly about its upper periphery, and a porous bottom wall or floor 24 secured to the lower edge thereof.
As can be seen, the tray 18 is dimensioned and configured to conform closely to the opening of the housing 10.
A suitable gasket 26 is interposed between the flanges 16,22 to afford a gas-tight seal therebetween, and the tray 18 is secured to the housing 10 by suitable fasteners 28 extending through the flanges 16,22; particulate coating material 30 is contained within the tray 18.
A rectangular base plate 32 spans the lower portion of the housing 10, with its edges sealing joined to the wall 14 to define an underlying air chamber 34 and a plenum 36 thereabove.
A hose or tube 38, connected to a source of pressurized air (not shown), passes through the sidewall 14 and is secured with an appropriate fixture in an opening 40 of the base plate 32, thus enabling pressurization of the air chamber 34.
Secured in a centrally-disposed second opening 42 of the plate 32 is an electrode member, generally designated by the numeral 44 and consisting of an upstanding post assembly 46 (comprised of appropriate nuts, washers, spacers and a core) and two axially spaced, generally circular clusters 48 of wire bristles.
The bristles of the clusters 48 are supported at one end by the post 46, and radiate outwardly therefrom with their free ends disposed approximately on an imaginary cylindrical surface; an electrical cable 50, from a high voltage source (not shown), passes through the sidewall 14 and is affixed by appropriate means to the top of the post 46
