Automated system for coating the human body

Abstract

In a system for coating human skin, a chemical composition, such as a cosmetic or medical formulation, is uniformly coated over the entire body or selected parts of the body of the person being coated. The system includes atomization of the coating composition, containment of the atomized spray, and residual recovery which together yield a novel method for applying chemical compositions.

1 - 31 . Canceled.  
   
   
       32 . An apparatus for coating substantially the entire human body including the head with a predetermined human skin self-tanning material comprising: 
 structure defining a coating chamber for receiving the entire body including the head of a person to be coated;    a reservoir for receiving the predetermined human skin tanning material in liquid form;    a plurality of mist generating nozzles for receiving the predetermined human skin self-tanning liquid from the reservoir and for misting the predetermined human skin self-tanning liquid onto substantially the entire body including the head of the person in the coating chamber;    at least one fan for causing air flow within the coating chamber and thereby moving the mist generated by the nozzles relative to the entire body including the head of the person in the coating chamber;    the structure defining the coating chamber further comprising apparatus for containing residual spray from the nozzle which is not received on the body of the person; and    apparatus for periodically disposing of the contained spray.    
   
   
       33 . The apparatus for coating the human body with a predetermined human skin self-tanning material according to  claim 32  further comprising: 
 apparatus for pressurizing the interior of the reservoir and thereby discharging liquid from the reservoir through the nozzle.
