ABSTRACT:
A reflective bead dispensing apparatus which works in conjunction with any prior art airless walk behind striping equipment. This reflective bead dispensing and paint dispensing apparatus is attachable to the rear of a vehicle. Compressed air and the vehicle's electrical system control all operations. The bead dispensing apparatus has an telescoping boom capable of pivoting around the point of attachment and extends outwardly from the point of attachment. At the end of the telescoping boom is the wheeled paint carriage which contains an air compressor, air tank, warning light, flood lights, the brake/hazard/turn signal lights, paint spray gun mounts, and reflective glass bead hoppers and dispensers. The carriage can pivot around the attachment point to the boom. The glass beads are applied onto the wet paint already applied to the surface. The carriage pivots between a lowered position during striping operations and a locked upright position during relocation. The carriage mounts to a detachable trailer behind the vehicle during transport or can be placed into the back of a vehicle. The vehicle contains paint and a prior art pump which pushes the paint through hoses to the prior art spray guns on the carriage. A jack with an elongated wheeled foot can be lowered for ground support during mounting and removal of the apparatus from the vehicle, and also during transformation from a towing configuration into a striping configuration. A line guide is detachably mountable to the vehicle's front bumper. A remote control box enables operation of all functions of the apparatus by the vehicle's driver.
