  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20070215721
    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.
