  • Publication number: 20230302473
    Abstract: A spraying device includes a tool body, a handle, and an energy store. The tool body is carried by way of the handle and one end of the handle, on the opposite side to the tool body, includes a coupling for mechanically and electrically coupling an energy store. A cage is connected to the coupling incorporated in a top of the cage. The cage includes two webs curved in a U shape arranged opposite one another and are each connected to the top of the cage. In a coupled state, the energy store is received in an interior space of the cage in such a way that the two webs each protrude downward beyond a housing of the coupled energy store and into the space. The energy store is assigned a lower opening, a left-hand opening, a right-hand opening, a front opening and a rear opening of the cage.

  • Publication number: 20220016649
    Abstract: A method for the function control of an electrohydrodynamic atomizer (20), wherein an electrohydrodynamically atomized fluid (23), originating from the atomizer (20), is applied to a body, e.g. a person, in order to coat this body at least in certain areas, wherein the atomizer (20) comprises a fluid tank for storing the fluid (23) and at least one high voltage source for making available a high voltage and at least one pump unit for transporting the fluid, wherein the fluid (23) is delivered to a nozzle arrangement of the atomizer (20) by means of the pump unit, and wherein the fluid (23) is atomized electrohydrodynamically at the nozzle arrangement by means of the effect of the high voltage from the high voltage source, wherein a voltage and/or a current at the high voltage source is evaluated in order to acquire a working point of the high voltage source via a current/voltage characteristic curve.

  • Patent number: 9555430
    Abstract: A paint spraying system is proposed with a paint spraying device with a paint spray gun with a fan for dispensing paint via a spray head, which paint spraying device is connected via a paint line to a base station with a connector to a paint reservoir. In order to achieve a low and uniform paint pressure which is required in the paint spray gun, the paint spray gun is equipped with a separate pressure reducing device and the base station is equipped with a pressure monitor, which pressure reducing device and pressure monitor perform a pressure regulation of the paint pressure in the system.

  • 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: 7360720
    Abstract: In a spray gun (1) for atomizing fluids, that can be actuated using a lever (15) mounted in a pivoting arrangement on a sleeve (11) which accommodates an atomizer nozzle (12) and in which the air flow can be generated by an air turbine (5) that is assigned to the spray gun (1), the air turbine (5) and its electric drive motor (4) are arranged substantially coaxially to the sleeve (11) on the opposite side of a handle (21) and the air flow is supplied from the air turbine (5) in a substantially straight line through the sleeve (11) of the atomizer nozzle (12). The air turbine (5) is provided with a muffler (6). Loud operating noise of the air turbine (5) does not have a disruptive effect and practically no flow noise is generated due to deflections of the air flow. The components of the spray gun (1) are arranged in such a way that no more than slight tilting torques are generated, permitting work over long periods without leading to fatigue.

  • 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.
