Advance cure paint spray booth

A method for aiming a rotatable air nozzle at a predetermined surface area, comprising the steps of inserting a housing of an axially directional light source into said nozzle, said light source producing a light beam coaxial with the air discharge pattern from said nozzle, manipulating said light source housing to direct such light beam at the surface area while at the same time aiming said nozzle at said surface area, and removing said light source housing from said nozzle.

An air handling device adapted for mounting on a paint spray booth to accelerate drying of selected surface areas of a painted workpiece in said spray booth, said device comprising a manifold adapted to be mounted on an interior surface of a vertical wall of a paint spray booth, a housing adapted to be located adjacent an outside surface of such spray booth wall and to communicate with said manifold through an opening in such spray booth wall, said manifold defining an air outlet chamber, a plurality of aimable air discharge nozzles mounted on said manifold to receive pressurized air from said air outlet chamber, a blower in said housing adapted to withdraw air from the spray booth and to deliver a pressurized flow of such spray booth air to said outlet chamber, and a motor mounted on said housing to be exterior to the spray booth, separated from the spray booth air and adapted for operating said blower, and wherein said nozzles are adapted to be aimed at selected surface areas of a workpiece located in the spray booth to selectively increase the surface air flow over such areas.
