  • Publication number: 20230286000
    Abstract: A fluid reservoir for a spray gun, which fluid reservoir has a material outlet which is configured for the direct and/or indirect connection to a spray gun. The fluid reservoir has a ventilation device, via which air can flow into the fluid reservoir in order to ensure a pressure compensation when coating material flows out from the fluid reservoir via the material outlet. Advantageously, the ventilation device includes a device on the outside of the fluid reservoir and separately to a ventilation opening and a latching device, which device cooperates as a centering device, a retaining device and/or a guide device with the closure element.

  • Patent number: 9878340
    Abstract: A color application system and method provide improved results of the color application and the operation of the color application system, for example color application errors due to varying pressure are reduced or eliminated, by using a color application system having one or more receivers for wireless data transfer between components of the color application system, wherein one of the components is a color sprayer having a detecting unit for detecting operating parameters of the color sprayer and/or environmental parameters, and a transmitter for wirelessly transferring the operating parameters and/or environmental parameters to the receiver. In a method for operating such a color application system, the operating parameters of spray air pressure and/or optionally the pressure of the medium to be sprayed is detected in or at the color sprayer, and then the detected pressure or pressures are wirelessly transferred to one or more components of the color application system.
