Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0857516A2] Apparatus (10) for coating articles (28), comprising a support structure (11), a container (23) to contain the articles (28), container support means (21), and means (16a) to rotate the container, wherein resilient means (17) are provided to connect the container support means (21) to the support structure (11). The resilient means (17) preferably comprise metal coil springs, such that any wobble or other undesired vibrations caused by rotation of the container (23), conveniently a metal basket are absorbed by the coil springs (17), such that the basket, whilst rotating at high speed, exhibits a high degree of stability, in a manner similar to that of a gyroscope. <IMAGE>
