ABSTRACT:
A housing forming an internal powdering chamber in which an article support tray is removably supported. A hopper located on the exterior top of the housing is structured to dispense a metered amount of powder onto a powder distributor and sifting screen located in the top interior of the housing. An electric motor powering a wheel with an eccentrically connected actuator arm and linkage are connected to the powder distributor and sifting screen in order to supply an oscillatory movement thereto. The powder distributor also includes powered shuttered apertures to allow the powder to be distributed evenly on the powder distributor before being opened to allow the powder onto the sifting screen. The powder distributor and sifting screen are structured to evenly distribute a fine coating of powder vertically downward toward the article support tray. Power actuated lifting arms are located one on each interior corner of the housing slightly below the article support tray. The tray lifting arms are timer controlled to sequentially elevate the corners of the article support tray sufficiently to angle the position of articles thereon relative to vertically falling powder from the sifting screen. Apertures in the article support tray allow powder passing between the articles on the tray to fall through the apertures and into a collection drawer in the bottom of the housing. The apparatus also includes timing and sequencing means to control the powder distribution.
