Abstract: A set of nozzles for a spray gun, especially a compressed-air paint spray gun, comprises at least one nozzle module group with at least two different nozzle modules for mounting in or on the same base module of a spray gun. The nozzle modules have different medium flow rates under the same spray conditions, the spray jets generated by the nozzle modules having substantially the same spray jet section height and the same spray jet section width, the spray jet sections of the different nozzle modules in particular being congruent. A spray gun system, a method for embodying a nozzle module, a method for selecting a nozzle module from a set of nozzles for a paint job, a selection system, in particular a “slide gate system”, and a computer program product are also disclosed. The user can select the nozzle module which is ideal for the paint job and mode of operation in question.

Abstract: A nozzle arrangement for a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, has at least one paint nozzle and an air cap. The paint nozzle has at least one outlet opening for the material to be sprayed and the air cap has at least one central opening which is bounded by at least one wall. The at least one wall forms a gap with at least one part of the paint nozzle, and a forward part of the paint nozzle has at least an inner face, an outer face and an end face. The end face of the paint nozzle encloses, at least in certain regions, an angle of greater than 90° or an angle of less than 90° with an outer face or an inner face of the paint nozzle. In the nozzle arrangements, the back-pressure counter to the outflow of the material to be sprayed is lower than in prior art nozzles. A spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, having such a nozzle arrangement is also disclosed.

Abstract: A temperature control device for heating and/or cooling gases or gas mixtures, in particular for use in the respiratory protection sector. The temperature control device has a housing, a compressed air input, a supply output and a vortex tube with an air inlet, a hot air outlet and a cold air outlet. The vortex tube is installable in at least two final assembly arrangements. In a first arrangement, there is a fluid-conducting connection between the cold air outlet of the vortex tube and the supply output of the temperature control device and, in a second arrangement, there is a fluid-conducting connection between the hot air outlet of the vortex tube and the supply output of the temperature control device. By this configuration, the temperature control device is both a device for heating and cooling respiratory air from mainly the same components with little additional outlay on production and little additional effort during assembly.

Abstract: An activated carbon adsorber, in particular an activated carbon adsorber for use by a user of an externally ventilated breathing mask or breathing hood. The activated carbon adsorber includes a housing for accommodating a filter cartridge, and the housing has the following features: an air inlet supply port to receive compressed air from an air supply unit; a connector for connecting to a breathing mask or hood; a unit which can be fastened to the body of or to or on the housing of the activated carbon adsorber and which is capable of forming a detachable connection with another component in particular a sliding or slip connection.

Abstract: A spray gun and a trigger for the same. A one-armed trigger for a spray gun comprises a single connecting arm, secured to a left side or a right side of a spray gun body of the spray gun; an operating portion, provided at a lower end of the connecting arm; and an actuating component, provided on the connecting arm. The trigger can be more easily and reliably assembled onto a spray gun body and reduce the possibility of damaging parts of the spray gun.

Abstract: A portable breathing apparatus for protecting a user against contact with the contaminated surrounding atmosphere. The breathing apparatus can be supplied with fresh breathable air via an air tube connected to an air supply system having an overpressure. The breathable air flows out of a body which is connected to the air tube and has at least one defined outflow surface for the breathable air.

Abstract: A fastening unit, in particular a fastening unit for modules which are intended to supply a user of a breathing mask or breathing hood with breathable air, and to such modules. The fastening unit is designed to secure one module relative to another module, and has a first component part for assembly with the other module and a second component part for assembly with the module. The second component part is rotatable, by means of the first component part, about a predetermined angle relative to the first component part; and first and second subcomponents within the region of the defined angle can engage with each other in a plurality of positions.

Abstract: A spray gun manufacturing method, a spray gun, a spray gun body and a cover. The method includes forming a spray gun body. In forming the spray gun body, a bearing part is formed on a side of the spray gun body, with a surface of the bearing part being lower than another surface of the side of the spray gun body, and a partial edge of the bearing part corresponding to a partial edge of the spray gun body.

Abstract: A fastening unit, in particular a fastening unit for modules which are intended to supply a user of a breathing mask or breathing hood with breathable air, and to such modules. The fastening unit is designed to secure one module relative to another module, and has a first component part for assembly with the other module and a second component part for assembly with the module. The second component part is rotatable, by means of the first component part, about a predetermined angle relative to the first component part; and first and second subcomponents within the region of the defined angle can engage with each other in a plurality of positions.

Abstract: A nozzle for a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, has at least one material nozzle having a hollow portion for the passage of material to be sprayed; a material outlet opening; and a disk element extending radially from the material nozzle and having at least one passage opening. The nozzle has at least one first baffle disk which is arranged on the disk element and has an inner and an outer circumference. The first baffle disk is arranged on the disk element directly, in particular without a sealing element arranged inbetween. The disadvantages that separate sealing elements have to be specially produced and may be lost or damaged, can thereby be avoided. The nozzle according to the disclosure and related nozzle sets, paint spray guns and methods for producing nozzles are functionally reliable, have only few individual parts and a compact design and are quiet.

Abstract: A main body for a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, has at least one head region for attachment of a nozzle arrangement. The head region has at least one inner wall, one outer wall and one middle wall arranged therebetween. The walls are formed in encircling fashion and in one piece with the main body, with the front end of the middle wall set back in relation to the front end of the outer wall along an axis. This main body does not require any additional sealing element for sealing between the atomization air region and horn air region. The middle wall is well protected against damage even when a nozzle has been unscrewed, and the gun head can be of very compact design.

Abstract: A device for coating surfaces, particularly colored or painted surfaces, using a spray gun which is supplied by a supply device with the material to be sprayed. The supply device includes a material container which can be pressurized, and a pressure element is provided on or in the material container itself.
