Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements to road line marking apparatus.
- a line painting machine consists of a steel trolley type frame with two wheels in a fixed position at the rear and one fixed wheel at the front.
- This frame houses a petrol-driven engine which in turn, drives an airless spray pump to deliver paint to a single or double spray gun mounted on the frame near the front wheel.
- a hand gun is also included with the unit
- This new road line painting apparatus (“Action Line Marker”) has an adjustable wheel base. That is, each of the wheels of this apparatus can be moved to suit the painting area that is required.
- the two (2) rear wheels have a 430mm and 590mm long axle, each able to slide outwards creating a wider wheelbase.
- the rear wheel axles are totally removable thus enabling the use of any length axle desired.
- the front axle is 300mm long and is totally removable, thus enabling an axle (shaft) of any length required to perform the job, to be placed into the frame of this apparatus hence, a fourth wheel can be added to this front axle for better stability when a painting area of 600mm wide or greater is required.
- Four spray guns can be easily mounted and adjusted to spray a width of 600mm to which this can be sprayed without the burdensome use of stencils.
- the width of the line to be painted is altered by either one or all of the following means;
- adjustable wheel bases and a fourth (4 th ) wheel for the front are to place the running of each wheel so that they do not interfere with painted surfaces still wet and also to avoid running over potholes or spoon drains which may cause the apparatus to bump around, hence altering the height of the spray gun and not giving a continuous even width of line.
- Figure 1 (attached) shows a side elevation of this apparatus ("Action Line Marker")
- Figure 2 shows the base (bottom) elevation of this apparatus (“Action Line Marker”) showing its wheelbase and variations of wheelbase required for different applications.
- Figure 3 shows top elevation of this apparatus ("Action Line Marker") with focus on spray gun set up for wide painting areas and single lever control.
- Figure 4 and Figure 5 shows apparatus wheelbase set up for painting of circumferences.
- Figure 6 shows the rear view of the apparatus and its wheel set up, gun and spray gun stabilizer positions required for painting of circles.
- Figure 7 shows the front view of the apparatus with focus to spray gun bracket setup for wide painting areas.
- Figure 8 shows the front view of the apparatus with focus on spray gun bracket setup for two painted parallel lines at various distances apart.
