Abstract: An automatic safety mechanism for airless spray equipment such as airless spray guns of the type having a trigger mechanism for actuating a gun spraying mechanism is provided. The safety mechanism comprises a lock mechanism for automatically locking the trigger mechanism in an "off" or non-spraying position upon full release thereof, including a locking member spring biased and disposed so that upon full release of the trigger mechanism the locking member is automatically operatively interposed between the trigger mechanism and hand-grip element of the spray gun to obstruct actuating movement of the trigger mechanism. The locking member is adapted for simple manipulation by the spray gun operator to disengage the lock mechanism and permit actuating movement of the trigger mechanism.

Abstract: A multi-element paint applicator including a housing or splatter-guard, a roller assembly including at least two cylindrical rollers arranged in parallel, mounting the rollers within the housing, and a handle centrally disposed on the housing. The rollers are disposed within the housing so that the weave of the cover of the first roller is the reverse of the weave of the second roller to provide a smooth painted surface.

Abstract: An airless spray gun reversible spray nozzle unit is provided adapted to replace the normal or standard fixed spray position unit without any modification of the external spray head. The external spray head normally positions and holds the fixed position spray nozzle unit in spray position in the airless spray gun. The present adaptation is made possible by means of a floating or sliding female ferrule axially movably positioned and slideable intermediately between a pair of spaced apart keyed flanges defining the unit size which act as stops therefor and assures a leak-proof machined fit of the reversible nozzle when the inventive spray nozzle unit is positioned to spray, or in reversed position so the orifice of the nozzle can be backwashed and freed of binding occlusions.The size, weight and form of the unit adds substantially no increase in weight or volume to the conventional fixed position airless spray head spray nozzle unit and is easily and quickly manually reversed when desired.
