Abstract: Provided are devices for coating a contoured surface or a three-dimensional structure, and methods of making and using the same. The devices have geometries that are in point contact with the contoured surface. The geometries are substantially rigid and are provided by a flexible applicator. In this way, the flexible applicator permits conformance to the surface contours, along with rigid point contact that provides uniform and consistent coverage of liquid material. Specifically, the devices comprise a handle and an applicator pliantly affixed to the handle, the applicator comprising a plurality of spaced geometries. The devices meter film-forming coating liquids onto contoured surfaces or three-dimensional structures to form uniform coatings and resulting uniform films.

Abstract: Liquid spray gun platforms, spray head assemblies and liquid spray guns including one or both of the spray gun platforms and the spray head assemblies are described.

Abstract: A spray gun (10) comprising a rotatable control knob (100) is disclosed. The rotatable control knob (100) comprises a gripping surface (110) at least partially surrounding a rotation axis (101), an attachment end (104) disposed along the rotation axis (101) for rotatable connection of the control knob (100) to the spray gun (10), an indicator retaining feature (120) on the gripping surface extending in a retaining feature trajectory about the rotation axis from a first retainer end (140) to a second retainer end (150), and a gripping surface position indicator (200) separating the first retainer end from the second retainer end. The gripping surface position indicator indicates the rotational position of the control knob about the rotation axis. Also disclosed are indicators to be retained by the indicator retaining feature.

Abstract: Provided are devices for coating (300) a contoured surface or a three-dimensional structure, and methods of making and using the same. The devices have geometries (308) that are in point contact with the contoured surface. The geometries are substantially rigid and are provided by a flexible applicator (306). In this way, the flexible applicator permits conformance to the surface contours, along with rigid point contact that provides uniform and consistent coverage of liquid material. Specifically, the devices comprise a handle (304) and an applicator (302) pliantly affixed to the handle, the applicator comprising a plurality of spaced geometries (308). The devices meter film-forming coating liquids onto contoured surfaces or three-dimensional structures to form uniform coatings and resulting uniform films.
