  • Publication number: 20100123020
    Abstract: The paint spray gun according to the invention with paint jet deflection comprises a spray gun body with a paint reservoir, a paint dispensing device, an airflow gate with through flow orifices, an air cap with through flow orifices and a first through flow air director or air horn with a first air passage cross section and at least one second through flow air director or air horn with a second air passage cross section, the airflow gate being arranged in front of the air cap in the airflow direction in the region of the paint dispensing device. The invention is characterized in the present case in that the first air passage cross section is designed to be enlarged with respect to at least the second air passage cross section.

  • Publication number: 20100123024
    Abstract: An air cap for generating an air stream by means of an atomized liquid is proposed, the liquid being atomized via a liquid nozzle, preferably with a needle valve, in the region of an air outlet orifice of the air cap, and the air cap comprising at least one further air outlet orifice which is connected to at least one following air director and which generates a directed air jet. According to the invention, the air director is produced, in particular formed, as a separate element and is connectable to the air cap.

  • Patent number: 7703704
    Abstract: In a spray gun for spraying paint and similar media, there is provided a gun housing and a reservoir tank removably attached to the gun housing for holding the medium to be sprayed. The reservoir tank is configured as a commercially available storage container, for example in the form of a paint can, and is directly attached via an adapter to a projection connected to the gun housing. Thus, commercially available storage containers, differing considerably in their dimensions, can be directly fitted onto the gun housing in a short time and by a reliable method. Viscosity settings and transferring of media to be processed from one container to another are therefore not necessary, and the medium can be matched to the particular working implement and application.

  • Publication number: 20100061182
    Abstract: In a device (1) for stirring and for dosing the mixing ratio of different kinds of liquid (2), in particular of paints (3) and a thinning agent (4), consisting of a stirring rod (6) and a reservoir container (5) in which the liquids to be mixed together are filled, it should be possible to measure the amount of liquid (2) to be added in relation to the amount of fluid (2) already contained, and to do so in a quick and easy manner using the stirring rod (6).

  • Patent number: 7540434
    Abstract: In a spray gun (1) for spraying paint with a gun housing (2) provided with a handle (3) with a union nut (10) screwed onto it that holds an air cap (11) provided with offset outlet openings (14, 15) for compressed air, the union nut (10) is positively connected to the air cap (11) in a circumferential direction. This embodiment makes it possible for the spray jet to be set in a brief time and without difficulties without having to put up with getting dirty. It is merely necessary to turn the union nut (10) accordingly in order to control the air supply to the outlet openings (14, 15) of the air cap (11) and therefore to influence the formation of the spray jet.

  • Patent number: 7431223
    Abstract: A spray gun for spraying paints and similar viscous media that can be propelled pneumatically, comprising a gun housing for accommodating components of the spray gun that effect propulsion, mixture and/or metering, a handle projecting from the gun housing, and a reservoir tank removably attached to the gun housing for holding the medium to be processed, with the housing of the spray gun provided with an air guidance duct through which the compressed air responsible for atomization flows to an atomizer nozzle, wherein surfaces of the air guidance duct and/or atomizer nozzle, and/or an air cap, which come into contact with the stream of compressed air, or are wetted, are provided wholly or in part with a structured surface in the form of indentations and/or protrusions worked into the surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7360720
    Abstract: In a spray gun (1) for atomizing fluids, that can be actuated using a lever (15) mounted in a pivoting arrangement on a sleeve (11) which accommodates an atomizer nozzle (12) and in which the air flow can be generated by an air turbine (5) that is assigned to the spray gun (1), the air turbine (5) and its electric drive motor (4) are arranged substantially coaxially to the sleeve (11) on the opposite side of a handle (21) and the air flow is supplied from the air turbine (5) in a substantially straight line through the sleeve (11) of the atomizer nozzle (12). The air turbine (5) is provided with a muffler (6). Loud operating noise of the air turbine (5) does not have a disruptive effect and practically no flow noise is generated due to deflections of the air flow. The components of the spray gun (1) are arranged in such a way that no more than slight tilting torques are generated, permitting work over long periods without leading to fatigue.

  • Publication number: 20070221753
    Abstract: In a spray gun (1) for spraying paint or similar media with a gun housing (2) and a reservoir tank (21) removably attached to the gun housing (2) for holding the medium to be processed, the reservoir tank (21) is configured as a commercially available storage container, for example in the form of a paint can (22), and the paint can (22) is directly attached via an adapter (31) to a projection (11) connected to the gun housing (2). This embodiment makes it possible for commercially available storage containers, although differing considerably in their dimensions, to be directly fitted onto the gun housing (2) in a very straightforward manner, in a short time and by a reliable method, in which case the storage container can contain a medium that is intended for immediate processing. Viscosity settings and transferring media to be processed from one container to another are therefore no longer necessary, while the medium can also be matched to the particular working implement and the application.

    Abstract: In a spray gun (1) for spraying paint or similar viscous media with a gun housing (2) provided with a handle (3), to which a reservoir tank (21) is removably attached, the reservoir tank (21) is configured as a storage container (22) that is adapted and adjusted to the spray gun (1), for example in the form of a paint can or a paint bag. Furthermore, the storage container (22) is directly secured to a projection (11) of the gun housing (2). This embodiment makes it possible for special storage containers (22), although differing considerably in their shape and dimensions, to be fitted onto the gun housing (2) in a very straightforward manner and in a short time, in which case the storage container can contain a medium that is intended for immediate processing. Viscosity settings are therefore no longer necessary, while the medium can also be matched to the particular working implement and the application.
