| 20110259974 | BASE UNIT FOR HAND HELD SKIN TREATMENT SPRAY SYSTEM - A system for controlling a hand held skin treatment sprayer includes a base unit that is operable to control an air source. The base unit is also operable to control a heating unit that is associated with the hand held skin treatment sprayer. The air source is coupled to a nozzle of the hand held skin treatment sprayer by an air conduit, and the heating unit is disposed within that air conduit. Air flowing through the air conduit is heated by the heating unit. This heated air may be applied while spray is emitted from the nozzle to increase the spray cloud temperature, or may be applied before or after the spray application, with the spray turned off, to warm or dry the skin. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110202019 | HAND HELD SKIN TREATMENT SPRAY SYSTEM WITH AIR HEATING ELEMENT - A hand held spray system for skin treatments includes air outlets for delivering heated air to improve the efficacy and comfort of the spraying experience. The heated air may also heat a liquid tip and transfer this heat to the skin treatment. The heated air may be applied while spray is emitted from the nozzle to increase the spray cloud temperature, or may be applied before or after the spray application, with the spray turned off, to warm or dry the skin. The spray system includes a heating source to warm the air as it passes through the system and is delivered through atomizing and/or pattern shaping orifices. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110137268 | HAND HELD SKIN TREATMENT SPRAY SYSTEM WITH PROPORTIONAL AIR AND LIQUID CONTROL - A spray nozzle system for skin treatments includes separate air outlets moving over the skin surface to deliver one or more streams of supplemental air for the purpose of warming or drying the skin surface to improve efficacy and comfort of the spraying experience. The drying air from the auxiliary ports may be applied while spray is emitted from the nozzle to increase the spray cloud temperature, or may be applied before or after the spray application, with the spray turned off, to warm or dry the skin. A heating source is provided to warm the air directed through one or more supplemental air ports. In the case of air-atomizing nozzles, the supplemental air is delivered through low pressure ports separately from the air emitted through the nozzle's atomizing and pattern shaping orifices to minimize the expansion cooling effect inherent with the spray nozzle ports. In another implementation, the airflow is redirected from the nozzle jets to one or more of the supplemental ports using a control valve which proportions the amount of airflow directed to the main atomizer air jets, the pattern shaping air jets and the supplemental air for drying the skin. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110133004 | SKIN TREATMENT SPRAY NOZZLE SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC SPRAY GANTRY - A spray nozzle system for skin treatments includes separate air outlets moving over the skin surface to deliver one or more streams of supplemental air for the purpose of warming or drying the skin surface to improve efficacy and comfort of the spraying experience. The drying air from the auxiliary ports may be applied while spray is emitted from the nozzle to increase the spray cloud temperature, or may be applied before or after the spray application, with the spray turned off, to warm or dry the skin. A heating source is provided to warm the air directed through one or more heated air ports. In the case of air-atomizing nozzles, the heated air is delivered through low pressure ports separately from the air emitted through the nozzle's higher pressure atomizing and pattern shaping orifices to minimize the expansion cooling effect inherent with the spray nozzle ports. In another implementation, the airflow is redirected from the nozzle jets to one or more of the supplemental ports using a control valve which proportions the amount of airflow directed to the main atomizer air jets, the pattern shaping air jets and the supplemental air for drying the skin. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20100291847 | AUTOMATIC BODY SPRAY SYSTEM EXCESS LIQUID REMOVAL - An embodiment of an apparatus for extracting excess liquid in a human body spray system includes a spray booth defining a booth volume. The spray booth includes a base configured to support the human body and a column having walls extending vertically from the base and at least one vent opening disposed on a bottom half portion of the column on at least one of the walls. The walls form a hollow interior of the column. The apparatus for extracting excess liquid in a human body spray system further includes an extraction fan disposed within the hollow interior adjacent to a top half portion of the column and configured to create a low pressure volume within the hollow interior and draw air flow and at least some of the excess mist from the booth volume through the at least one vent opening. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100266776 | AUTOMATED SKIN SPRAY AND DRY SYSTEM - A controlled application of warm dry air is provided during and/or between applications of sprays in an automated spray system. Short multiple passes of the spray cloud over the human target are provided, each being followed by application of warmed dry air for a short drying cycle that is effectuated between the individual spray passes. When the system is implemented in a booth or enclosure, warmed dry air may be supplied into the environment so as to warm the ambient air temperature prior to spraying. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100145529 | AUTOMATIC BODY SPRAY SYSTEM - An embodiment of an automatic body spray control system may include an atomization nozzle, a linear slide coupled to the atomization nozzle and configured to move the atomization nozzle vertically up and down, a user interface, and a controller for controlling the operation of the linear slide and the user interface. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100129557 | SPRAY COATING AT LEAST ONE PORTION OF A SUBJECT - A method of spray coating at least one portion of a human subject includes providing a first container containing a first skin coating solution, where the first container is configured to removably connect to a spraying apparatus configured to receive the first container and a second container containing at least one of the first skin coating solution and a second skin coating solution, where the first container includes a first disconnect valve configured to removably connect to a first disconnect fitting fluidly coupled to at least one nozzle in the spraying apparatus, and where the first container is configured for opening of a vent in the first container for air to enter the first container as the first skin coating solution flows out of the first container through the first disconnect valve and out of the at least one nozzle and onto the at least one portion of the human subject. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100122745 | CONTAINER FOR SYSTEM FOR SPRAY COATING HUMAN SUBJECT - A container for use in a system for spray coating a human subject includes a container body configured to hold a skin coating composition. The container further includes a first end portion having a male coupling valve, where the male coupling valve is configured to couple to a female fitting disposed in a spraying apparatus, where the male coupling valve is further configured to prevent flow of the skin composition from the container while the male coupling valve is not coupled to the female fitting. The container further includes a second end portion opposite the first end portion and having a vent, where the container is configured for inverted connection to the spraying apparatus such that when the male coupling valve is connected to the female fitting the male coupling valve is at a location below the vent, and where opening of the vent allows airflow into the container as the skin coating composition flows out of the container through the male coupling valve. | 05-20-2010 |
