Abstract
Description
Claims (15)
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) to link articles during a coating process, the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) having first and second ends, each end being configured to receive and abut end portions of successive articles to be coated characterized in that the linkage member is moreover configured to prevent coating of said end portions.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 1, wherein the material from which the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) is formed from a material of low thermal conductivity to reduce energy transfer from the coating to the linkage member.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 2, wherein the material is a perfluorinated polymer.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to any preceding claim, wherein the outer surface of the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) is covered with a conductive material such as steel.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 1, wherein the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) has a circular cross section.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 1, wherein the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) is cylindrical.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 6, wherein the diameter of the cylinder is from being 15 to 30mm.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claims 6, wherein the height of the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) is from 10 - 15mm.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 1, wherein the first and second ends of the linkage member comprise recesses to receive the pins of a lamp (40).
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 9, wherein the recesses in the first end are rotationally offset from those in the second end.
- A linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) according to Claim 1, wherein the linkage member comprises a further recess to receive the end of a lamp.
- A method of coating an article, the method comprising the steps of;i) drawing a leading portion of an article against a linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) having first and second ends, each end being configured to receive and abut end portions of successive articles to be coated and to prevent coating of said end portions;ii) feeding the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) and associated article(s) to a coating station, which includes an article coating machine;iii) applying a coating to the or each article at the coating station;iv) separating the linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) from the or each coated article; andv) conveying said article(s) to a stacking and/or packaging station.
- A method according to Claim 12, wherein a second portion of the article is abutted against a second linkage member (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110), before the article is fed into a coating machine.
- A method according to Claim 13, wherein further articles and linkage members (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) are alternately abutted against the second linkage member to form a chain.
- A method according to Claim 14, wherein the further articles and linkage members (10, 20, 21, 25, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110) are added at the same rate as the feed rate through the machine.
