Each nozzle is provided with a male connector adapted to be releasably locked in the female connector. The turret is mounted both for rotation on the wand about an axis and axial for movement. A spring urges the turret and nozzles away from the female connector. As the turret is rotated, the different nozzles can be moved into alignment with the female connector on the wand end. Once a selected nozzle is aligned with the female connector and the turret is moved against the spring force and the selected nozzle is releasably locked to the female connector. The nozzles can be quickly changed without risk of loss of the nozzles.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: DeVilbiss Air Power CompanyInventors: Ricky B.

Publication number: 20020020762Abstract: The liquid atomizer device consists of two housing parts (A, B) which can be brought into engagement with each other. An inner part (5) of an atomizer nozzle is formed integrally with the first housing part (A), an outer part (16) is formed integrally with the second housing part (B). The outer part (16) has recesses (20) which guarantee a form-fitting seat and thus a formation of liquid channels (18) which compensates for production inaccuracies.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2001Publication date: February 21, 2002Inventors: Titus Selzer, Sven Rosenbeiger
