Abstract: At a step of pressurizing a workpiece after reducing a speed of a piston rod at an end of a forward stroke of the piston rod by restrictively allowing compressed air to flow out of an exhaust-side pressure chamber, operation of a rapid exhaust valve is triggered by reduction of internal pressure of the exhaust-side pressure chamber to lower pressure than internal pressure of a pressurizing-side pressure chamber to thereby directly open the exhaust-side pressure chamber into the atmosphere through the rapid exhaust valve and rapidly reduce back pressure of a main piston remaining in the exhaust-side pressure chamber.

Abstract: A fluid squirt gun includes a linear flow path provided in a barrel, a nozzle at a tip end of the flow path, a valve seat provided in the flow path, a valve element disposed for movement in an axial direction of the flow path to open and close the valve seat, a spring for pressing the valve element in a valve-closing direction, and a trigger for opening and closing the valve element. The valve element includes a forward pressure receiving face on which fluid in the flow path acts in a valve-opening direction in a closed state of a valve and a reverse pressure receiving face on which the fluid acts in the valve-closing direction in the closed state of the valve and both the pressure receiving faces have substantially equal pressure receiving areas.
