Fiberglass lamination boom assembly

An assembly for fiberglass lamination assembly for routing supply lines to an applicator, comprising:

• a base member;
• a tubular inner boom arm pivotally connected to an inner end of said inner boom arm for rotation about a first vertical axis;
• a tubular outer boom member;
• a pivot assembly interconnecting an inner end of said outer boom arm with an outer end of said inner boom arm for rotation about a second vertical axis;
• downwardly opening apertures formed in inner boom arm adjacent said inner and outer ends thereof;
• curved tubular inner boom elbows inserted through said apertures in said inner boom arms, said inner boom elbows having outer ends diverging outwardly and downwardly at an inclination of about 45°, said inner boom elbows having inner ends extending axially in said inner boom arm;
• an enlarged access opening in a side of said inner boom member adjacent the outer inner boom elbow, said inner boom elbows establishing therebetween a path for routing fluid lines for a lamination process and said access opening facilitating alignment of said fluid lines with outer inner boom elbow;
• a curved outer boom elbow at the inner end of said outer boom arm having an outer end diverging outwardly and downwardly toward said outer inner boom elbow at an inclination of about 45° and an axially extending inner end, said outer boom arm terminating with a downwardly curved outer end inclined about 90° with respect thereto, said curved outer end defining with said outer boom elbow a path for routing the fluid lines from said inner boom arm through said outer boom arm to applicator means to the applicator.

A fiberglass lamination boom assembly, comprising:

• a tubular inner boom member connected to a vertical support member for pivotal movement about a first vertical axis;
• a tubular outer boom member connected to the outer end of the inner boom member for pivotal movement about a second vertical axis;
• curved tubular inner boom elbows at the ends of said inner boom member having outer ends diverging outwardly and downwardly and inner ends extending axially in said inner boom member;
• an access opening in said inner boom member adjacent the outer inlet boom elbow, said inner boom elbows establishing therebetween a path for routing fluid lines for a lamination process and said access opening facilitating alignment of said fluid lines with outer inner boom elbow;
• a curved outer boom elbow at the inner end of said outer boom member having an outer end diverging outwardly and downward and an axially extending inner end, said outer boom member terminating with a downwardly curved outer end and defining with said outer boom elbow a path for routing the fluid lines from said inner boom member through said outer boom member to the applicator means.
