A nozzle dispenses a material, such as an adhesive, primer, paint, or other coating, through a dispensing port on to a substrate. The spray pattern provided by the nozzle defines, at least in part, an application pattern of the material on to the substrate. An air mask port integral with the nozzle or a separate nozzle expels a mask stream of pressurized gas. The mask stream projects toward the substrate to aid in limiting an application of the material beyond an application line on the substrate. The air-mask port and the dispensing port may be moved relative to the substrate and/or the application line such that the mask stream provides a barrier to the material being applied.

A coating apparatus for coating a component with a coating agent includes an applicator for delivering at least one coating agent jet of the coating agent to the component. The coating apparatus includes an intercepting device which in an active position intercepts the at least one coating agent jet between the applicator and the component so that the at least one coating agent jet does not strike the component.

A coating device according to one embodiment of the present invention is a device for coating, with a paint, a target surface which is at least a part of a wall surface of a building, and comprises: a first movement part that can move in the vertical direction in accordance with a change in the length of a wire by driving of a winch drum; and a spraying part that can move in the left or right direction along the first movement part, and directly sprays the paint on the target surface or sprays the paint on a coating roller that rotates in contact with the target surface, such that a range from a predetermined left line to a predetermined right line of the target surface with reference to the left and right directions can be coated with the paint.

Provided is an apparatus for cooling a metal material, the apparatus comprising: a spray cooling unit for spraying a cooling medium onto the surface of a metal material; and a spray amount control unit which regulates the rate of passage of the cooling medium sprayed from the spray cooling unit onto the edge region of the metal material, and controls the spray amount of the cooling medium.

A system including an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or aerial robotic system (ARS) to perform at least one task to an object during flight of the UAV in a movement mode configured for maneuvering near a surface of the object. A task sensor configured to sense at least one parameter of the surface. An adjustable sensor arm attachable to the UAV and supporting the task sensor to facilitate the task performed to the surface of the object by the UAV during flight of the UAV. The sensor arm being resilient to impact forces caused by direct contact of the sensor or sensor arm with the surface to bend, spring or swivel relative to a contour of the surface.

A fence painting system enables applying a coating to a both the front and back of the fence simultaneously. The system uses spray modules mounted to an anchor to apply the coating. The anchor attaches to the top of the fence and lowers the spray models with an extension device. The modules detect the ground as they descend with a sensor that prevents the modules from impacting the ground.

A steam sprayer for delivering steam onto and beneath a field surface is provided. The steam sprayer comprises a support frame having a plurality of steam spraying nozzles mounted thereto and oriented substantially downwardly for spraying steam onto and beneath the field surface. At least a steam generator is connected to the steam spraying nozzles for providing steam thereto. A water heating tank is connected to each of the at least a steam generator for providing heated water at a substantially constant pressure thereto, Compressed air is provided to the water heating tank for pressurizing the water heating tank. Power is provided to the water heating tank and each of the at least a steam generator.

The present utility model relates to an autonomous interior painting robot for homes, commercial premises, hotels, etc. The robot is designed for painting and outlining while recognizing obstacles in the work area and aimed at reducing the efforts and time needed to carry out these operations. It is applicable in the field of interior design and the completion of small conditioning works. The autonomous painting robot comprises a mobile base (1) equipped with a paint tank and a pump or compressor, characterized in that the base (1) comprises a series of detectors configured to locate the base (1) and to detect obstacles, a substantially vertical lifting column (4), at the end of which a robot arm (5) is articulated and topped with a head (6) that carries a paint gun (7) connected to the pump, one or more cameras (9), and a proximity sensor (10).

A fluid dispenser apparatus includes a fluid dispenser having plurality of nozzles aligned in a first longitudinal direction. A dispenser shield is positioned relative to the plurality of nozzles, the dispenser shield configured to form an aperture aligned in the first longitudinal direction with the plurality of nozzles. The plurality of nozzles are configured to dispense fluid towards a substrate. The dispenser shield is further positioned such that fluid dispensed from a first subset of the plurality of nozzles passes through the aperture while fluid dispensed from a second subset of the plurality nozzles is captured by the dispenser shield.
