Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating the removal of moisture from a compressed air tank has a tank with an interior volume, a tubular member positioned in communication with the tank and having an end adjacent the bottom of the tank, an air compressor interconnected to the tubular member for passing compressed air into the interior volume of the tank, a check valve positioned at an opposite end of the tubular member, a head pressure relief valve in communication with the tubular member, and a pressure switch cooperatively connected to the air compressor. The pressure switch opens the head pressure relief valve when an air pressure in the tank reaches a desired level so as to cause air and water in the tank to pass through the tubular member. The check valve serves to stop the passing of air and water after a period of time.

Abstract: A color selection mechanism for an integrated color selecting and blending system utilizes a disc having a flat surface with an axial projection therefrom for connection to an airbrush in order to supply selected color paint under regulated air pressure from a group of bottles storing different colors of paint. An opening in a convex surface of the disc opposite the flat surface thereof at a predetermined radial distance from the axis of the projection is connected by a slant bore to the axial projection for passing paint under pressure to an airbrush. A cylindrical block having a concave surface for a tight matching fit with the convex surface of the disc has bores parallel to its axis at the predetermined radial distance. By turning the cylindrical block on its axis, the parallel bores, to which the paint tubes are connected, can be individually selected to supply paint by aligning any one of those bores with the slant bore opening of the convex surface of the disc.
