Abstract
A safety cover for rotary head electrostatic spray coating systems, of the type to which a rapid rotation is imparted to a rotary spray head and a jet of coating material to be sprayed directed thereagainst for discharge from a peripheral edge of the head in a spray, is characterized by a cover movable between positions over and around the head and remote from the head, and a mechanism for moving the cover. When positioned over the head, the cover protects nearby personnel against accidental injury resulting from contact with the rapidly rotating head, and at the same time serves as a receptacle for receiving and containing solvent and residual coating material discharged from the head when the same is cleaned, as for example during color changes when coating materials of different colors are sprayed.
