Patent number: 8210449Abstract: A hand-held apparatus for spraying texture material includes a body having a handle, a texture material hopper mounted on the body, and a nozzle extending from the body for spraying texture material. The apparatus also includes an air source connection component operable to connect and disconnect a source of air to and from the body. The air source connection component comprises a first connection structure on the body that is configured to receive a corresponding second connection structure associated with the air source and secure the second connection structure to the body by rotating the second connection structure with respect to the body.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Wagner Spray Tech CorporationInventors: Craig L. Peterson, Anthony J. Torntore, Ross D. Rossner

Patent number: 7861950Abstract: A hand-held apparatus for spraying texture material including a body, a pressurized air source mounted on the body, a texture material hopper mounted on the body, and a texture delivery nozzle for selectively spraying texture material from the hopper onto a surface to be coated by propelling the texture material using pressurized air from the pressurized air source wherein each of the air source and the hopper can be disconnected from the body without the use of tools. An air directing plunger has a plurality of discontinuities at an outlet thereof, which may be radially outwardly directed recesses or radially inwardly directed teeth for reducing the noise generated by the pressurized air during operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2006Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Wagner Spray Tech CorporationInventors: Ross Rossner, Matt Bischel, Craig Peterson, Anthony J. Torntore, Sr.

Patent number: 5769769Abstract: A powered paint roller assembly for delivering paint to the roller through a handle, a tubular connection from the handle to a roller housing which will deliver paint to one end interior of a cylindrical paint roller which roller has a plurality of passages therethrough to allow paint to pass onto the nap of the roller for application to the desired surface. The tubular connection from handle to roller is provided with either a mechanical fluid flow knuckle or a resilient connection, either of which allow the roller to be shifted from a position perpendicular to the handle or parallel thereto or to positions intermediate thereof. The other end of the roller is provided with a removable edger device which prevents paint from being applied outwardly of such other end.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Wagner Spray Tech CorporationInventor: Anthony J. Torntore

Patent number: 5078322Abstract: A spray gun designed for utilization with low pressure and high volume air supplies to obtain high product transfer efficiencies. The spray gun is designed for connection to an air supply at two locations on the gun with one location providing non-pressure bleeding connection to the air supply and with the other allowing air to continually flow through the gun. The design of the gun is particularly sized with internal passages to allow high CFM and low PSI functions. An air cap assembly to control spray patterns for vertical, horizontal and circular sprays is arranged on the outlet end of the gun. The unit as designed eliminates the utilization and requirement of exterior valving and air control mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1988Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Wagner Spray Tech CorporationInventor: Anthony J. Torntore
