a spike-tripod kit that is used to secure and paint aftermarket auto parts that define apertures within the auto parts. The spike tripod kit comprises of a plurality of tripods that define a spike on the apex of each tripod. the spike tripod kit may also comprise of a plurality of leg extensions that attach to each leg of each tripod. The extensions are used to raise the tripods upward when painting larger auto parts. The kit can be made of a metal. The design of each tripod of the kit allows the kit to be stored in small spaces. For, the tripods of the kit can be stacked upon one another. The kit is used by placing the spike of each spike-tripod within an existing aperture of an aftermarket auto part. Each existing aperture is pre-designed to secure to another existing auto part when placed on a vehicle. Most auto parts painted will require at least two spike-tripods to secure them in a position that will allow the auto part to be painted.

A window coating jig includes: a base part and a stage which includes a support part, a first sidewall part surrounding the support part and defining an outer wall, and a second sidewall part disposed between the support part and the first sidewall part, and protrudes from the base part, wherein a blow groove is defined between the first sidewall part and the second sidewall part, a suction groove is defined between the second sidewall part and the support part, the base part has a blow hole and a suction hole passing through the base part, the blow hole and the suction hole being defined therein, the blow hole overlaps the blow groove, the suction hole overlaps the suction groove, and the first sidewall part has a vent opening passing therethrough in a direction crossing the direction in which the blow hole extends, the vent opening being defined therein.

A fixture assembly includes a standoff, a backplate and a spray coating shield attached to a support. The assembly supports a workpiece and sprays a base coat at substantially ninety degrees with respect to a surface of the workpiece to coat the workpiece with the base coat. The assembly sprays a top coat at an angle with respect to the surface of the workpiece to mask a shadowed surface area of the workpiece, where the angle different from ninety degrees.

A coating facility including: a first base outer surface coating zone; a second base inner surface coating zone; a second base outer surface coating zone; a clear inner surface coating zone and a clear outer surface coating zone; and a baking zone in which each wet coating film are simultaneously baked and cured.

Example embodiments relate to a component support device for supporting components when painting the components, the component support device including at least one support member for supporting one of the components and supported by a substantially vertical support mast. The support mast includes at least one lower portion and one upper portion which can be assembled and disassembled

A combination cap and work support system includes a lower section configured to connect to a container and an upper section configured to provide a desired support to an object. The upper section includes multiple apices and at least one ridge. The system may be included as part of a kit that includes a container and may include applicators and other accessories. The system may be manufactured with various molding processes, including multi-shot molding and multi-cavity molds. The system may be utilized by placement upon a work surface and then placing an object upon an apex or ridge thereof, to support the object above the work surface.

The present invention discloses a special wheel spray support, which is composed of a base body, a bottom plate, struts, adjusting blocks, supporting pins, protective jackets, a stop pin and the like. When in use, the special wheel spray support of the present invention can meet the requirements for online spraying of special wheels and bolt hole protection, and is not only high in universality and simple in structure, but also has a series of prominent advantages, such as good safety and reliability, low manufacturing cost, etc.

An improved vehicle wheel spraying support tool is provided. The improved vehicle wheel spraying support tool is composed of a base plate, rotary sleeves, adjustment rods, supporting pins, a stationary sleeve, a flange, fixed plates and the like. In use, the rotary sleeves with random number are mounted in a slot of the base plate and a slot of the flange through sliding pins according to requirements; after angles among the supporting pins are adjusted, the rotary sleeves are fixed through screws III; the positions of the supporting pins can be adjusted to fit in vehicle wheels of different pitch circles by adjusting the positions of the adjustment rods in the rotary sleeves; and the vertical heights of the supporting pins can be adjusted through threads of the lower parts of the supporting pins, and the supporting pins are locked through locking nuts. The improved vehicle wheel spraying support tool provided by the disclosure can meet the on-line spraying requirements of special forged vehicle wheels with different pitch circle diameters, different heights and different sizes, not only has a simple structure and high universality, but also has the characteristics of safety, reliability, low manufacturing costs and the like.

A support trolley for supporting a door of an aircraft to permit working on the door comprises a frame with an upper support portion having at least two pairs of support bolts for engagement with locking bolts of the door to be supported so that the door is supported at each lateral side by a pair of support bolts. For engagement with the locking bolts the support bolts comprise recesses at their free ends.

Systems and methods for protecting threads of metal pipes while coating the metal pipes with a protective coating are disclosed herein. Innovative metal couplings are used to protect the threads while a protective coating is applied to the metal pipes. The couplings are reusable and result in multiple efficiency improvements over previous methods and systems. Benefits include elimination of plastic caps and reduced waste, improved flowthrough in the powder coating process, more efficient thermo transfer in the thermal chamber, and an increase in the overall capacity of the powder coating operation.
