Abstract
An airbrush vacuum system for removing paint particulate from the air that results from an airbrush painting operation. The airbrush paint vacuum system includes a vacuum chamber designed to fit interiorally of the garment being painted. A vacuum source is connected to the vacuum chamber, and in operation, a vacuum is generated in the vacuum chamber. This vacuum results in paint particulate being induced from the surrounding air through the garment itself into the vacuum chamber. Thereafter, the captured paint particulate is conveyed to a collection area.
Claims13
An integral garment board-vacuum system for removing overspray, fumes and vapor from the exterior of a garment while an area of the garment is being painted with an airbrush painting system, comprising:
- (a) a garment board having a perforated screen and an integral vacuum chamber, the integral garment board and vacuum chamber being sized and dimensioned to fit inside a selected garment with the perforated screen positioned directly adjacent the painting area of the garment and the garment overlying and substantially surrounding the vacuum chamber;
- (b) an outlet port formed in the integral garment board vacuum chamber;
- and
- (c) vacuum pump means connected to the outlet port for inducing overspray, paint fumes and vapor located outside the garment board and vacuum chamber through the garment, through the perforated screen, into the vacuum chamber and out the outlet port of the vacuum chamber so as to substantially remove overspray, paint fumes and vapor in the area around the exterior of the garment while the garment is being subjected to an airbrush painting operation.
A garment board for use in an airbrush painting system and for fitting within the interior of a garment to provide a planar background for a painting area of the garment to be airbrushed painted, comprising:
- (a) a perforated screen placed within a garment and directly adjacent the painting area of the garment so as to form a planar background for the painting area of the garment;
- (b) a vacuum chamber integral with the perforated screen and sized and dimensioned to fit inside the garment such that the garment substantially overlies and surrounds the vacuum chamber and the perforated screen;
- and
- (c) an outlet port formed in the vacuum chamber and connected to a vacuum pump for inducing overspray, paint fumes and vapor located outside the garment through the garment, through the perforated screen, into the vacuum chamber, and out of the outlet port of the vacuum chamber so as to substantially remove overspray, paint fumes, and vapor in the area around the exterior of the garment while the garment is being subjected to an airbrush painting operation.
