Application and April 1a, 1928. Serial No. 269,734.
The present invention relates to the painting of alls, particularly golf balls, it being the object of the invention to construct a new'and more efficient form of mechanism for thinly and evenly coating the ball after a dipping operation. The purposes and objects of the invention and the advantages to be derived therefrom will be apparent from a full and detailed description of the apparatus, it being necessary to state merely, that the machine here shown coats the balls more quickly and evenly than previous forms of machines, the apparatus permitting the ball to rotate during the operation, thereby insuring even distribution, of the paint over the entire surface of the ball.
The drawing and description thereof show the invention in its best known application, it being understood that chan es and modifications may be made within t e scope of the invention and within the substance of the claims, changes and modifications being permissible within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of the improved drying apparatus, the upper portion of the device being illustrated in section; and
Fi re 2 1s a plan view of the rotor or cage for t e golf ball. i The apparatus com rises a base or stand 1 on the 'u per end 0 which is secured the motor 2. n top-of the motor is secured a pan 3 which surrounds the rotor or cage in which the ball is rotated and which is rovided with a drain 4 for the recovery 0 the paint thrown from the ball.
The upper end of the motor shaft supports a disk or table5 about which are located a series of posts 6 which are preferably spaced at equal distances apart about the disk and receive and retain the golf ball 7. The upper ends of the posts are provided with pivoted arms 8 which are free to rotate upon their own axes, one end of each arm being longer and heavier than the other end so that as the cage or rotor is spun by the motor, the heavier ends of the arms occupy aposition outwardly of the cage, the shorter or lighter ends pro jecting over the ball and confining it Within the cage, but not too close to prevent-it from rotating within the cage. In practice,- the arms do not fit closely over the top of the ball, a slight upward movement of the ball being permitted. At the center of the disk is a small pin 10 upon which the ball rests when the rotor is stationary.
In the operation of the device, the arms 8 are moved to the dotted line position shown in Figure 2, and the ball, which has been dipped in the paintand is still wet, is placed within the posts 6. ,The motor is then started, the centrifugal force moving the arms to the position shown in full lines in Figure 2, in 5' which position the ball is held within the rotor. ,As the speed of the motorincreases, the surplus paint will be thrown off the ball against the sides of the pan 3. At the'same time the ball will rise slightly off the pin 10 and will rotate about its center due to the whirling force of the rotor. In this way the paint will be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the ball,'whereupon the ball is removed and placed on racks for drying in i the regular or customary way.
What is claimed is 1. A ball painting or artial drying device comprising a motor, a all support located on the axis of the motor, a plurality of posts g I about the support and surrounding the ball, and pivoted retaining devices upon the osts, said retaining devices being movabl by centrifugal force "over the ball.
'2. A ball painting or partial drying de- 35 vice eomprislng a motor, a ball support located on the arms of the motor, a plurality of posts about the support and surrounding the ball, and ivoted retaining devices upon the posts, said retaining devices being movable by centrifugal force over the'ball and permittin a limited upward movement of the ball 0% the support, whereby the ball is free to rotate about its center durin rotation.
3. A ball painting or partial 5 comprising a ball support, means. to rotate. the support at high speed, a cage about the ball, and retaining devices in the cage, said rying device 5' retaining devices being movable by centrifugal force to a position over the ball, the regal force to a position over the ball. taining devices permitting a limited upward 4. A ball painting or partial drying device movement of the ball off its support, whereby 10 comprising a ball support, means to rotate the ball is free to rotate under the influence of 5 the support at high speed, a cage about the the centrifugal force.
ball, and retaining devices in the cage, said 1 retaining devices being movable by centrifu- ALEXANDER TURNER.
