  • Publication number: 20230278050
    Abstract: A fluid reservoir for a spray gun, which fluid reservoir has a material outlet configured for the direct and/or indirect connection to the spray gun. The fluid reservoir includes a material container and a cover arrangement for closing the material container in a detachable manner. An inner bag is arranged in the material container and can be filled with coating material. The fluid reservoir is configured in such a manner that it can be filled with coating material optionally with or without the inner bag and can be used for dispensing the coating material via the material outlet to the spray gun. A flow cup arrangement includes a flow cup and an inner bag. The inner bag can be used with different flow cups.

  • Patent number: 10464076
    Abstract: An air cap for a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, having at least one central opening, which is delimited by a mouth, and two horns, each having at least one inner and one outer horn air duct and one inner and one outer horn air opening. The spacing between the front end of the central opening and an axis which perpendicularly intersects the central axis of the central opening and runs through the center of an inner horn air opening is between 0.6 mm and 2.6 mm. The spray pattern generated by the air cap has a longer core region and a steeper transition of the layer thickness between the external region and the core region, compared to conventional air caps leading to improvement in coating quality. A nozzle assembly and a spray gun, in particular a paint spray gun, can have an air cap having the above properties.

  • Patent number: 10129944
    Abstract: A daylight portable lamp for inspecting painted surfaces, in particular during paint repair work on motor vehicles, has a setting device for setting the light intensity. The setting device has an operating element that can be adjusted between a minimum position and a maximum position, the light intensity being set to a minimum in the minimum position and the light intensity being set to a maximum in the maximum position. When the operating element is arranged in the vicinity of the minimum or maximum position returns automatically to the relevant minimum or maximum position on the basis of a spring restoring force. The operating element can be arranged infinitely variably in at least one transitional adjusting region between the minimum and maximum position without the operating element returning automatically to the minimum or maximum position, so that in the transitional adjusting region the light intensity can be set infinitely variably by the operating element.

  • Patent number: 10124284
    Abstract: A holder and a filter system are provided. The holder has: a front wall, a window is formed therein so as to expose the hollow cavity of the holder; a back wall, facing the front wall; a pair of side walls, facing each other and connecting the front wall and the back wall; an opened top portion; and a bottom wall, facing to the top portion and closed so as to define the hollow cavity of the holder. The back wall can be provided with an attachment mechanism. By using the holder and the filter system, an operator may easily determine when to replace the filter cartridge during the operation of the filter system. The holder allows a very good keeping and as well a rapid replacement of the indicator.
