  • Patent number: 7568638
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gravity cup for a paint spray gun. The gravity cup includes a reservoir (1) and a lid (2) that is placed thereon and that has a connecting part (3) so that the gravity cup can be placed on the paint spray gun or an adapter. The reservoir (1) is provided, in a wall (4) thereof, with a ventilation hole (6) that can be obturated by means of a valve (5). The aim of the invention is to provide a gravity cup that comprises a valve that can be easily actuated by hand so as to obturate the ventilation hole. For this purpose, the valve (5) is configured as a sliding valve comprising a valve housing (7) and a slide (8) that can be displaced in relation to the valve housing (7) in a direction of displacement (V) extending parallel to the wall (4).

  • Publication number: 20080128533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid reservoir for a paint spray gun with a container (1) and a cover (2) that is attachable on this container and has a connection part (3) to enable attaching the fluid reservoir on the paint spray gun or on an adapter, wherein the container (1) has a ventilation opening (6) that can be closed by means of a valve (5). In a fluid reservoir known from the state of the art, the valve is constructed in the form of a sliding valve. Here, there is the risk that the ventilation opening is not completely closed if the slide of the sliding valve has not been pushed completely into the valve housing. In order to provide a fluid reservoir with a valve that can be easily actuated manually and that can be closed reliably, it is provided for the fluid reservoir according to the invention that the valve (5) has a closing element (8) that can pivot like a rocker about a pivot axis (7) for closing the ventilation opening (6) in a fluid-tight way.
