Abstract: A spray nozzle assembly includes a nozzle tip and a nozzle tip adapter. The nozzle tip adapter may include a visually perceptible indicia that corresponds uniquely to an offset angle value of the nozzle tip adapter. In one embodiment, the visually perceptible indicia may comprise a unique color for each offset angle among a selectable group of nozzle tip adapters. Another feature is a locator tool that includes an adjustable holder that is fixed in position relative to a spray nozzle tip or orifice during an alignment operation, and repositioned away from the nozzle tip during a spraying operation. The adjustable holder may include a measurement member to determine one or more distances between the nozzle tip or orifice and a location on a workpiece that will be coated or sprayed.

Abstract: A spray nozzle is disclosed that produces a flat spray pattern for liquid coating material, the spray pattern having a generally uniform flow distribution of quantity of coating material across the spray pattern. The spray nozzle may include a rectangular cut spray orifice to produce such a spray pattern. The spray pattern may further have distinct edges so that the pattern exhibits substantially reduced tailings of coating material outside these edges. In one embodiment, the spray pattern produces a “rectangular” drip pattern. In another embodiment, the spray pattern may include a middle region having reduced flow of coating material as compared to side regions of the spray pattern.
