Apparatus for transporting powder coating material from a box-shaped container

A manual powder coating system comprising:

• a support structure having wheels for moving said support structure;
• a cradle mounted to said support structure for supporting a boxed-shaped container containing powder in a tilted position at an angle with respect to horizontal, said boxed-shaped container having a lowermost interior portion in said tilted position;
• a vibrator attached to said cradle for vibrating and loosening said powder thereby causing said powder to move by gravity towards said lowermost interior portion of said boxed-shaped container;
• vibration isolation mounts between said cradle and said support structure to dampen vibration transferred from said cradle to said support structure;
• a pick-up tube having a lower inlet end with at least one inlet opening adapted to being positioned within said box-shaped container in said lowermost interior portion and an upper outlet end for discharging the powder;
• a powder pump associated with said upper outlet end of said pick-up tube for drawing the powder from said box-shaped container into said lower inlet end of said pick-up tube and discharging said powder from said upper outlet end of said pick-up tube;
• a spray gun connected to said powder pump for applying the powder drawn from said box-shaped container;
• a control housing mounted to said support structure for operating said powder pump and said vibrator;
• and
• a support arm extending outward from said control housing to project over said box-shaped container.
