1.4 Claims.

This invention relates to painting instruments and more particularly to striping instruments.-

An object of the invention is to provide an instrument adaptable for applying a stripe to a bead or to a surface'adjacent a bead.

YAnother object of the invention is to provide an instrument having means for adjusting the nozzle laterally.

Another object of the invention is to provide an instrument having an operating means provided with a plurality of engaging faces for maintaining the instrument in proper relation to the work.

Yet another object of the invention is' to provide a striping instrument having an oscillatory nozzle combined with means for retaining the nozzle in position and restricting the oscillatory movement thereof.

A further object of the vinvention is to provide a striping instrument having a member positioned forv reciprocation transversely with respect to the body of the instrument adapted to support a nozzle for oscillation, the nozzlebeing retained upon the member and restricted in its oscillatory movement and provided with means for supporting the discharge end thereof in spaced relation to the work and means for disengaging the nozzle from the Work. I Y A further object of theinvention is to provide a stripinginstrument having a reciprocatory support provided with a Ychamber having inlet and outlet ports and a nozzle positioned' on the support havingta passage communicating with the outlet port and means'for retaining the nozzle upon' the support and restricting the oscillatory movement thereof. v Y

Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a nozzle for a striping instrument having means positioned in the discharge end thereof adjacent the passage adapted to support the discharge end of the nozzle in spaced relation to .the work.

Yet a further object of the invention is to provide an oscillatory nozzle for a striping instrument having means for supporting the discharge end of the nozzle in spaced relation to the work, means for retaining the nozzle on the instrument and restricting the oscillatory movement thereof and means forV disengaging the nozzle from'the work. p Y

Still a further object of the invention` is to provide operating elements for a striping instrument comprising a disk having a plurality of circumferential faces.

And yet a further object of the invention is ltion with the drawing, which forms a part and the beveled face 20 is adapted toengage the to provide a striping instrument having an oper- L ating element for astriping instrumentv comprising a diskhaving an annularshoulder provided with a beveled face adaptable for engaging a plurality of surfaces simultaneously. j Other objects of the invention will appear from-'the following description taken Vin. connecof this specification, and in Which:

embodying the invention;

Y Fig. 2 is a back elevation, partly broken away and partly in section, theV section being taken on llineV 2 2 of Fig. l, illustrating the instrument in .operative position in coaction with a bead;

Fig. -3 is a transverse sectional vievvtaken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; v 1 t Fig.`4 is a side elevation, partlybroken away and partly in section, -the driving disk or operating element andthe container being removed.

Referring to the drawing for more specific details of the invention, 10 represents a body portion comprising a rectangular block having av notch or slot 11 and a pump outlet channel 10,a therein. A plate 172v istted `in-the notch and positioned in the plateis a pump mechanism 13. A cover plate 14 having a pump inlet channel lila is *positioned

inthe notch

1,1 over the pump mechanism 13 and the plates and body portion are Vsecured together vas by screws 15 or in any other suitable manner.

The pump mechanism comprises intermeshing gears, one of which is mounted on a shaft 16 whichhas keyed or otherwise secured. thereto an operating roller` 17. vAs shown, the roller 17 has a circumferential face 1.8, and an. annular shoulder 19 with a beveled face 20. Thecircumferential face 18 is adapted to engage a iiat surface vside of a bead 21` as shown in Fig. 2. The object of this structure is to provide a driving means which by virtue of a plurality of engaging faces will maintain theinstrument in perthe guiding means. t

Positioned transversely in Vthe body portion in parallel relation to the-shaft 16 is a double diametral bore. 22 and positionedinv the bore of of the "smallerxand larger bores'. fCommunicat- 11,0 r

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an instrument 35 vfect alinement when oo acting with a beadv as 190 `the larger diameter is asleeve 23, the innerV diing rwith the annular passage 23a formed by this shoulderand said end of the sleeve 23 is a passage 22a communicating with the outlet of the pump mechanism.

Positioned in the smaller transverse bore and the sleeve is a reciprocatory member 24 having a cutawayfportion'f25 which forms with the Ivvall defining the ,borel in the sleeve,; a. passage 26. The reciprocatory member 24 is also provided with a chamber or passage 27 having an intake port 28 communicating with the passage 26fa1id an outlet port 29, the object of whichrwillhereinafter appear. As shown, the member '24 'is axially bored and the bore is closedfby 'a-plug A3i) and inlet and outlet ports'far'earran'gedifin'the respective ends of the member as shown inSF-ig. 2. The reciprocatory member 24 4.is provided with a radial flange 31 andntted on the end of the reciprocatory member for oscillationfis-.a cup 32, the rim of which engages the iianee 31. The cup f 32-= has positioned thereon -anozzle' '33 Vprovided'with a passage I34 communicating Ywith l' the outlet Iport'29 by meansv of apassage through The nozzlehasfa pressY t on the cup andl a coil vspring is vpositioned on the'l cup intermediate the nozzlev 33Y'and the'radial'flangel. AAs A"shown, oneend-of-thespring 35- is"secured"in` the shankbf the nozzleandithe'otherend of" the springis -securedin thev face ofthe" ange. This spring serves to retain the 'cup upon the recipro- -catory member-and to'idepressf the nozzle inen- 'gagement-withl theewo'rk and suitably` secured to the sllankofthe nozzle is a'leveror handle 36 l-by-n1eans of `which the nozzle -may'be disengaged from the Work.

Positioned vin`tlf1ebodyI portion 10Y transversely Yvvith respect tov the bore 22 is aA bore 3'7fhaving `-positioned'thereina plug-38l provided With'a lead Washer "or face BQ'jadapted'toLengage the' cutaway portion`25 on' the reciprocating memberi24. The plugiis secured infpositionby -apin-"4O and Ymay 'be-'clampedv-'againstf the 'reciprocatory memagainst movement after itf has: been adjusted' latyferally l' to fthe ldesired `-position.

" The-'cover fp'late 14 has "formed thereupon a bess'iZ =fprovi`ded\with a bore- 43 communicating withithe'intake of the pumpmechanism'l and threaded"infv the-bore #-431 is'-a container' 44 having elf-capL or f cover( f45 provided with the usual f vent,

not shown.

*The instrumentis movable H on and operated 2Discharge from the latter throughthe'nozzle of course occurs through the opening 29.

As fthe t.pump gears are 4actuated by vtheroller engaging "asurface, kvit'iollovv's that .the frate of feed -Will Vvary directly 'with `the .rate at `which the instrument is moved -over the surface. In this vmovement the Aroller 'serves also lto` guide the 'instrument `along 'a bead for 'even and straight line striping as :already explained.
