  • Patent number: 11565276
    Abstract: A paint spraying unit for generating a shaped paint jet, including a paint nozzle positioned in a gap, wherein the paint nozzle includes a needle with a needle head that deviates from a rotationally symmetrical cross sectional design and a paint outlet opening that deviates from a rotationally symmetrical cross sectional design. The needle head is displaceable in relation to the paint outlet opening along a longitudinal axis of the needle for controlling a needle valve formed by the paint outlet opening and the needle head. The needle head, with the paint nozzle in a closed position with reference to the longitudinal axis, closes the paint outlet opening in a positive locking manner. In this connection, the needle head and/or the paint outlet opening is/are formed by a material with elastic properties at least in a surface region with which the two components come in contact.

  • Patent number: 9421562
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paint-spraying apparatus for generating a shaped paint jet, including a paint nozzle positioned in an annular gap, wherein the paint nozzle comprises a needle with a needle head and also comprises a paint outlet opening, wherein the needle head is displaceable with respect to the paint outlet opening over a longitudinal axis of the needle in order to control a needle valve formed from the paint outlet opening and the needle head, and wherein the needle head, in a closed position of the paint nozzle, plugs in a form-fitting manner with respect to the longitudinal axis in the paint outlet opening, wherein the paint outlet opening is rotatable together with the needle head about the longitudinal axis in order to rotate the orientation of the shaped paint jet with respect to the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20160059252
    Abstract: A paint spray system including paint sprayer, a pressurized air generator, a pressurized air duct and an air control mechanism. The paint sprayer has a spray nozzle, the pressurized air generator has a blower, the pressurized air duct connects the blower to the spray nozzle, and the air control mechanism includes a throttle mechanism and is situated in the course of the pressurized air duct. The air control mechanism includes an outlet mechanism, wherein a decreasing of an aperture cross section of the throttle mechanism automatically leads to an increasing of an aperture cross section of the outlet mechanism and vice versa. The aperture cross sections existing in individual settings of the throttle mechanism and the outlet mechanism are attuned to each other such that a dynamic pressure generated at the blower remains constant in the individual aperture settings of the throttle mechanism and the outlet mechanism.

  • 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.

  • 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.
