Fixture for centrifugal apparatus

In a container for a centrifugal apparatus adapted for use in coating a plurality of parts, the improvement which comprises means in said container for orienting said parts within said container comprising:

• an inner member fixed for rotation with said container and for initially receiving said parts, said inner member being sloped so as to permit centrifugal forces to carry said parts out of said inner member during a spinning cycle and terminating at an edge spaced from top portions of said container so as to permit parts to pass said edge during said spinning cycle, and
• at least one apertured member depending from the edge of said inner member and surrounding said inner member so as to form at least one compartment between side walls of the container and said apertured member, said compartment having a size capable of receiving and orienting said parts according to size or shape of said parts.

In a container for a centrifugal apparatus adapted for use in coating a plurality of parts, the improvement which comprises means in said container for orienting said parts within said container during a spin cycle, said orienting means comprising:

• a conical apertured inner member centrally located within and fixed for rotation with said container, for initially receiving said parts, said inner member being sloped so as to permit centrifugal forces to carry said parts out of said inner member during a spinning cycle and terminating at an edge spaced from top portions of said container so as to permit parts to pass said edge during said spinning cycle, and
• an apertured outer member integral with and surrounding said inner member so as to form a compartment with inner walls of the container, said compartment having a size capable of receiving and orienting said parts according to size or shape of said parts.
