Abstract: An extension paint spray-roller system includes a hydraulic paint spray extension system to which is mounted a paint roller system for use in combination. The hydraulic paint spray extension system includes an on-off control valve/handle communicating with a source of high pressure paint and connected via a straight-through swivel joint to a pole extension having a spray tip mounted at the oppositive end. A paint roller system is mounted to the paint spray extension system by a mounting system which permits a commercially available off-the-shelf paint roller to be utilized with the system.

Abstract: There is provided an airless paint spray pump wherein the pump is a double acting piston pump having an inlet communicating with a source of paint, a motor for driving the pump, a pressure controller for controlling the pressure of the pressurized paint delivered by the pump, and a filter for filtering the paint delivered by the pump. The pump includes features which increase the accessibility of the components thereof, prevent the incorrect installation of the seal packings in the pump cylinder, and allow the assembly of the piston in the pump cylinder properly aligned with the cylinder so as not to damage the seal packings therein.

Abstract: An integrated system and method are provided in an electrically powered airless paint spray unit for thermally monitoring the heat generating elements of the spray unit and provide thermal protection for the spray unit and the monitored heat generating elements. The temperatures of various heat generating elements of the paint spray unit are measured and directed to the motor controller of the electric motor of the unit the microprocessor of which is programmed to adjust the power level to the motor in response to excessive temperature readings of the monitored elements or shut off power to the motor in the event any of the temperature readings are greater than a maximum temperature assigned to the monitored element.
