Abstract
In accordance with the various aspects of the invention, a spray booth media support module (1) includes a rectangular frame (5) which is of generally channel section. The frame forms opposing spaced end members (7) and connecting side members (8). One frame end has an inwardly bent lip (11) having spaced notches (13) therein. The opposed frame side members have slots (14). A generally rectangular grid (6) is adapted to be removably mounted to the frame. The grid includes spaced elements (15, 16) arrayed generally parallel to the frame end and side members. A plurality of wide prongs (17) extend outwardly from the grid for impaling an overspray-catching pad (4) thereon. At least several prongs are aligned in a vertical tier arrangement. The grid is attached to the frame by placing the grid adjacent the front frame face and angularly lifting it up so the topmost grid element (15a) is within the frame and is aligned with the lip notches, the grid being centered by visually observing the position of the tiered prongs. The grid is then lowered to thus latch into the notches. The grid is also positioned so that a pair of ends of a horizontal grid element (15b) are disposed adjacent the frame side member slots and the element ends pushed therethrough. The grid is then slid downwardly into final position so that the pair of ends are trapped behind the frame front face.
