A lifting apparatus comprising: one of a mobile/or and stationary base; a lift platform having a geometric first center, the lift platform movable relative to the base from a lowered position to an upper position; a linkage or linkage mechanism interconnecting the base and the lift platform for guiding the base and the lift platform to stay in a generally mutually parallel relationship as the lift platform moves relative to the base; the base, lift platform and linkage configured so that when the lift platform in its lowered position the first center intersects the base at a first point and with the lift platform in its upper position the first center intersects the base at a longitudinally off-set second point; and a fluid (fluid/pneumatic) control spring operatively mounted between the lift platform and the base, for controllably lifting and lowering the lift platform.

Low profile lift apparatus with one to one direct lifting ratio

A device for cleaning a buffing pad comprising: a housing; a turbine wheel means, in the housing for supporting the pad and for rotating the pad in fluid to remove debris therefrom and in air to dry same.

Cleaning device for buffing pads and the like

A system for cleaning paint from objects such as spray guns, associated cups and paint cans comprising: an enclosed housing divided into a work chamber and a fluid storage reservoir containing paint solvent and a fluid, having a specific gravity greater than that of the solvent; spray nozzles attached to a first and a second outlet adapted to receive and spray pressurized solvent therefrom; the first outlet includes a tube for receiving and supporting a spray gun and for directing solvent to flow through an inlet of the gun; a foraminous layer definesg a surface for supporting articles to be cleaned in a preferred orientation relative to the second outlet. The system includes additions spray nozzles for spraying the exterior of the articles being cleaned. In addition the system includes a bracket for orienting a paint can in a relatively rotational manner relative to a spray nozzle interior to the paint can for enhancing the cleaning thereof. A trigger lock is also provided to maintain the trigger mechanism of the spray gun in an activated condition.

Spray gun and associate parts washer and recycler

An apparatus comprising: a work chamber (14) in which may be placed an object to be cleaned, and a cover (32) to enclose the work chamber; a fluid delivery system (52, 54) for delivering cleaning solvent to the work chamber (14) including a pump (40) for pressurizing the solvent; a first and second switch (204,210) for activiating and deactivating the operation of the pump means; and a fluid timer (220), in communication with the fluid delivery system, for causing at least one switch to be activated and thereafter after a predetermined time deactived terminating operation of the pump.

Apparatus having a fluid timer for cleaning paint from objects

A system for cleaning paint from objects such as spray gun cups, paint cans and lids comprising: an enclosed housing divided into a work chamber and a fluid storage reservoir containing paint solvent; a manifold for distributing solvent, spray nozzles attached to the manifold and adapted to receive and spray pressurized solvent therefrom; a rotable bracket having ribs or legs for supporting a hollow object such as a paint can and a conduit in communication with the manifold which supports spray nozzles which direct a spray pattern upon the hollow object to cause it to turn, another rotary bracket is provided to support a flat object such as a lid of a paint can an includes another conduit with a nozzle for cleaning a surface of the flat object and for causing same to turn in relation to the spray pattern.

Paint cleaning apparatus

A system for cleaning paint from objects such as spray guns, associated cups and paint cans comprising: an enclosed housing divided into a work chamber and a fluid storage reservoir containing paint solvent and a fluid, having a specific gravity greater than that of the solvent; spray nozzles attached to a first and a second outlet adapted to receive and spray pressurized solvent therefrom; the first outlet includes a tube for receiving and supporting a spray gun and for directing solvent to flow through an inlet of the spray gun; a foraminous layer defines a surface for supporting articles to be cleaned in a preferred orientation relative to the second outlet. The system includes additional spray nozzles for spraying the exterior of the articles being cleaned. In addition, the system includes a bracket for orienting a paint can in a relatively rotational manner relative to a spray nozzle interior to the paint can for enhancing the cleaning thereof. A trigger lock is also provided to maintain the trigger mechanism of the spray gun in an activated condition.
