Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for applying a liquid product to a workpiece includes a pump piston and cylinder unit for pumping the product through a valved outlet orifice, displacement of the piston being adjustable for controlling the amount of product dispensed, the piston being pneumatically operated, and a rotatable turret being mounted on the unit and having a plurality of seats for holding workpieces of different sizes. Liquid product passageways extend from the seats toward the outlet orifice, and one of such passage ways communicates with the orifice in a selected rotative position of the turret.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product for the coating of a workpiece, comprising, a housing having a cavity with a product inlet, a pump cylinder extending from said cavity and terminating in a valve controlled outlet, a piston shiftable between retracted and extended positions in said housing for pumping the product from said cylinder through said outlet means for actuating said piston, and a turret mounted on said housing for rotation about a horizontal axis and including a plurality of workpiece receiving seats for each receiving a workpiece of a different size, and said turret further including a plurality of product passageways respectively extending from said seats toward said outlet, one of said passageway communicating with said outlet in a predetermined rotative position of said turret.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
127 words
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product for the coating of a workpiece, comprising, a housing having a cavity with a product inlet, a pump cylinder extending from said cavity and terminating in a valve controlled outlet, a piston shiftable between retracted and extended positions in said housing for pumping the product from said cylinder through said outlet means for actuating said piston, and a turret mounted on said housing for rotation about a horizontal axis and including a plurality of workpiece receiving seats for each receiving a workpiece of a different size, and said turret further including a plurality of product passageways respectively extending from said seats toward said outlet, one of said passageway communicating with said outlet in a predetermined rotative position of said turret.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein means on said piston are provided for adjusting the displacement thereof to control the amount of product to be dispensed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said housing has an end wall and an end of said piston extends through said wall, said adjusting means comprising a knob mounted on said piston for movement therewith at a distance from said end wall, said knob being adjustable toward and away from said end wall for varying said distance and thus the length of the piston stroke.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein indicia means are provided for indicating the adjusted position of said knob.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
The apparatus according to claim 3, further including a frame supporting said housing for pivotal movement about an axis perpendicular to the central axis of said piston, and said actuating means comprising a pneumatic control arrangement including a pushbutton in contact with said housing for activating said arrangement to shift said piston upon manual depression of said pushbutton.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
142 words
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product for the coating of a workpiece, comprising a frame a housing hingedly mounted on said frame and having a pump cylinder and a valve controlled outlet orifice extending from said cylinder, a piston operating in said cylinder between extended and retracted positions for pumping liquid product through said orifice, means engaging said piston for adjusting the displacement thereof to thereby control the amount of liquid product to be dispensed through said outlet, pneumatic operating means for actuating said piston including a pushbutton bearing against said housing for effecting movement of said piston upon manual movement of said housing to depress said pushbutton, and means on said housing having at least one seat for holding the workpiece, said holding means further having at least one liquid product passageway extending between said seat and said outlet orifice.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
142 words
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product for the coating of a workpiece, comprising a frame a housing hingedly mounted on said frame and having a pump cylinder and a valve controlled outlet orifice extending from said cylinder, a piston operating in said cylinder between extended and retracted positions for pumping liquid product through said orifice, means engaging said piston for adjusting the displacement thereof to thereby control the amount of liquid product to be dispensed through said outlet, pneumatic operating means for actuating said piston including a pushbutton bearing against said housing for effecting movement of said piston upon manual movement of said housing to depress said pushbutton, and means on said housing having at least one seat for holding the workpiece, said holding means further having at least one liquid product passageway extending between said seat and said outlet orifice.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
82 words
The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein means engage said piston for restraining movement thereof about the central axis of said piston, one end of said piston extending outwardly of an end wall of said housing, said piston displacement adjusting means comprising a knob engaging said piston end for axial movement with said piston, said end wall providing a limit stop for the extended position of said piston, said knob being adjustable on said piston end toward and away from said wall.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
143 words
An apparatus for dispensing a liquid product for the coating of a workpiece, comprising, a housing having a pump cylinder and a valve controlled outlet orifice extending from said cylinder, a piston operating in said cylinder between extended and retracted positions for pumping liquid product through said orifice, means engaging said piston for adjusting the displacement thereof to thereby control the amount of liquid product to be dispensed through said outlet, means for actuating said piston, and a turret mounted on said housing for rotation about an axis parallel to the control axis of said piston, said turret having a plurality of seats for each holding a workpiece of a different size and further having liquid product passageways extending from said seats toward said outlet orifice, one of said passageways communicating with said outlet orifice in a selected rotative position of said turret.
Claim 11
