  • Patent number: 4544100
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing gun wherein a spray pattern control valve is located internally of the gun. The spray pattern control valve is in the form of a two position air flow valve movable between a first position wherein low air flow is supplied through the valve to a second position wherein high air flow is provided through the valve. The valve has two adjustable stops operable to fix the low air flow and the high air flow positions of the valve. Manual pressure on the stem of the valve controls movement between the two positions.

  • Patent number: 4534106
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for replacing spent dielectric material at the high-valued resistor in an electrostatic spray gun, having an insulating tube disposed within a bore formed in the gun barrel which receives the resistor encapsulated with spent dielectric material, comprises the steps of inserting a syringe apparatus into the insulating tube, dispensing new dielectric material contained within the syringe into the insulating tube while withdrawing the syringe therefrom, and then inserting a high voltage cable into the insulating tube to force the new dielectric material ahead of the cable. The new dielectric material encapsulates the resistor and forces the spent dielectric material between the insulating tube and gun barrel bore away from the resistor.

  • Patent number: 4368852
    Abstract: Electrostatic spray guns are connected in series to a pressurized source of liquid spray material. Each gun has an attached pressure regulator for evening the pressure of liquid supplied to the gun and the consequent spray pattern emitted from the gun. Each regulator is so constructed that it minimizes the pressure drop of liquid passing through the regulator to the next series connected regulator. Additionally, each regulator is made primarily from a low capacitance plastic material so that it cannot store and discharge an electrical potential sufficient to create a dangerous condition in a spray environment. Each regulator is so constructed that it may be manually adjusted to vary the pressure of liquid supplied from the regulator to the attached gun or may be easily converted to pneumatic control.
