  • Patent number: 9993832
    Abstract: A valve gun for a high-pressure cleaner is provided, including an inlet channel with an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid and an outlet channel with an outlet for discharging the liquid, a valve arranged in the flow path between the inlet and the outlet, a triggering member manually movable between a rest position and a release position for opening and closing the valve, a first locking member manually movable between a locking position and an unlocking position for locking the triggering member in the rest position, and a handgrip graspable by the user. In order to further develop the valve gun such that it is easier to handle, the triggering member can be arranged at the rear side of the handgrip that faces away from the outlet, and that the first locking member can be arranged at the front side of the handgrip that faces the outlet.

  • Publication number: 20160288148
    Abstract: A valve gun for a high-pressure cleaner is provided, including a housing and a valve arranged therein having a closing body that lies tight against a valve seat in a closed position and is adapted to be acted upon by a valve plunger with an opening force, and including a triggering lever pivotable about a first pivot axis, the triggering lever mechanically coupled to the valve plunger and manually pivotable from a rest to a release position. The triggering lever is coupled to the valve plunger via a coupling lever pivotable about a second pivot axis, the coupling lever having an actuating element via which the valve plunger is adapted to be acted upon with the opening force, and first and second force receiving elements, the first adapted to be acted upon first and subsequently the second with a triggering force upon pivoting the triggering lever to the release position.
