Adjustable baffle for coating hood for coating glass containers

Abstract

A coating hood or coating hood section (900) for coating articles includes a housing (902, 1104) defining an interior chamber (20b, 1104a), an inlet opening (46) through which air, gas or a vapor stream is delivered into the interior chamber (20b, 1104a), and an outlet opening (44) through which the vapor stream is exhausted from the interior chamber and delivered onto the articles. An adjustable baffle (910, 1110) is positioned within the chamber (20b) or a duct (1120) that is fluidly connected to the chamber (20b, 1104a). The adjustable baffle (910, 1110) is configured for changing, deflecting, or redirecting the flow of the vapor stream to selected, specified or predetermined area or areas of articles. The baffle (910, 1110) is movably connected in the chamber (20b) or the duct (1120) and optionally positioned substantially adjacent to the inlet opening (46) or the outlet opening
