Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for applying texture materials to wall and ceiling surfaces, and more particularly to an improved hopper gun with an internal air control valve for controlling the on and off function of the atomizing air stream and an integrated flow control valve to manage the volume/pressure ratio of the pressurized atomizing air. The air control valve and flow control valve integrated into the improved hopper gun provides improved control over the texturing process and simplified operation of the improved hopper gun.

Abstract: An apparatus for spraying liquidous mixtures via compressed air is described. The design allows extensive use of plastic in its construction, employs a minimum of parts and allows complete assembly and reassembly with only a minimum of hand tools. The device incorporates an automatic air shut off valve that stops the flow of air upon release of the trigger, an adjustable trigger stop that ensures a uniform flow rate and a special orifice plate design that enables its quick replacement.
Abstract: A vertically adjustable leg for stilts of the type utilized by construction workers as, for example, installers of wallboard. The adjustable leg includes upper and lower complementarily vertically slideably interfitted struts. A quick-action lock is interposed between the struts so as to permit the length of the assembled struts to be readily varied and thereby adjust the height of the stilt.
