  • Safety guard for airless spray apparatus
    Patent number: 4637551
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for guarding a spray tip (36) of a spray gun (10). A tip guard (20) is suitable for being connected to the gun (10) and the tip guard (20) includes an axially extending portion (34) which defines a tip guard cavity (32). The tip guard cavity (32) is in fluid communication with the liquid carrying passageways within the gun (10). Tip guard cavity (32) also extends axially downstream of the orifice (38) of the spray tip (36) whereby if the axially extending portion (34) is dangerously shortened, the tip guard cavity (32) will be exposed to the atmosphere to relieve the pressure within the spray tip cavity (46) immediately adjacent to the upstream end of the spray tip orifice (38). The velocity pressure generated by the gun (10) is thereby reduced to a level which is substantially safe.
