  • Patent number: 6386402
    Abstract: An aqueous quick dry sprayable drywall texture material in the form of a sprayable composition includes an aqueous base, a filler and a polymer. The aqueous quick dry sprayable drywall texture is storable and dispensable from a pressurized dispenser having a delivery nozzle or other spray dispensing device. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the textured material onto a prepared patch area or other substrate so as to match and blend with the surrounding drywall area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.

  • Patent number: 6382474
    Abstract: A valve assembly is disclosed for use in an aerosol spray can capable of spraying viscous materials or materials with large particulates without clogging or packing like traditional aerosol spray cans designed for spraying texture materials. The valve opening is located at the bottom of the assembly rather than at the top, thus allowing highly-viscous materials, such as a fire suppressant material, or materials having large particulates, such as stucco, to be sprayed from an aerosol spray can without clogging of the valves. The valve assembly can spray materials that more closely resemble the original surface texture found on textured and stucco-covered walls and ceilings of buildings and structures.

  • Publication number: 20010018481
    Abstract: A hardenable texture material is disclosed for application to a patch surface surrounded by a stucco-like material having an irregular surface texture to form a layer of textured patch material on the patch surface, wherein the hardenable texture material is storable in a pressurized fluid-tight aerosol dispensing container. The hardenable texture material includes a liquid base and a stucco filler substance having large particulates resembling stucco. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the hardenable texture material onto a prepared patch area so as to match and blend with the surrounding stucco-covered surface area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.

  • Publication number: 20010000734
    Abstract: A more controllable acoustic ceiling patch or textured material in the form of a sprayable composition includes a base, a filler, an adhesive binder, an anti-foaming agent, a suspension agent, and rubber particulates or polyethylene particulates forming an aggregate suitable for spraying in the presence of volatile organic compound (VOC) propellants without melting or deterioration. The more controllable acoustic ceiling patch is storable and dispensable from a pressurized dispenser having a delivery nozzle. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the textured material onto a prepared patch area, which may be on a drywall or support panel so as to match and blend with the surrounding acoustic ceiling surface area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.

  • Patent number: 6085997
    Abstract: An inexpensive pneumatically-operated apparatus is disclosed for spraying a broad range of viscous materials that atomizes the sprayable material without using propellant gases, and can be filled with bulk texture or other fluid coatings. A container removably locks onto the bottom of a sealing disk, consisting of a dip tube, an elbow, an air jet member, an equalization port, and an equalization tube. A cap is selectively united with the sealing disk and the container. The user fills the container with the sprayable material, attaches it to the sealing disk and cap, and connects to an external air supply device. A spray nozzle is used to adjust the type of spray, and the user holds up the apparatus as one would hold an aerosol spray can.

  • Patent number: 6062494
    Abstract: A portable drywall texture sprayer includes a generally cylindrical tank filled with fluid drywall material, a tool connected to the tank through a set of hoses or lines, and an air supply connected to the tank. The set of hoses or lines includes a material line and a control line. The material line is connected between the tank and the tool such that there is material flow communication therebetween. The control line is connected between the tank and the tool such that there is air flow communication therebetween. An air tube is mounted within the tank and connected to the control line such that there is air flow communication therebetween. An air duct connects the air tube and the air supply such that there is air flow communication therebetween. The sprayer also includes a control orifice on the tool for controlling the air pressure within the tank.

  • Patent number: 5695788
    Abstract: A tool for use in connection with a wall covering material source having a nozzle to dispense wall material to be applied to a wall. The has a plate having a front surface, and a back surface which is adapted to slide along the wall surface. The back surface defines an opening, and the plate defines a passageway passing through the plate and coupled to the back surface opening. A tube connected to the front surface of the plate and coupled to the passageway of the plate is adapted to receive the nozzle of the wall material source. The plate passageway directs the wall material dispensed from the source nozzle to the back surface opening to be delivered for application to the wall surface.
