ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to an ultraviolet curing oven particularly adapted for drying one piece bodies of two piece cans, the oven including a housing through which passes a conveyor carrying a plurality of brushes for supporting the can bodies thereon and means for rotating the brushes to thereby rotate the can bodies past ultraviolet lamps to dry or cure the can bodies which had earlier been base coated.
The brushes are rotated through the use of a stationary chain meshing with a sprocket carried by each brush.
The ultraviolet lamps are disposed in pairs generally but not perfectly parallel to the direction of can body travel through the oven, and means are provided for rotating the ultraviolet lamps both toward and away from the can bodies so that particularly in the latter case the can bodies and/or brushes will not be burned or scorched should stoppage of the conveyor occur for any reason.
