Abstract: A connector system for releasably securing a reservoir to a spray gun includes hook members on a lid of the reservoir that engage a flange of an inlet adaptor on the spray gun with a push/twist action to secure the reservoir to the spray gun. A retainer clip mounted on the inlet adaptor is movable between an inoperative position to allow the reservoir to be connected to and disconnected from the spray gun, and an operative position in which the clip blocks release of the reservoir. The clip provides security against accidental release of the reservoir in use of the spray gun.

Abstract: A reservoir for use with a spray gun has a body and a flexible diaphragm that define a chamber for liquid to be supplied to the spray gun. The body has an outlet opening leading to a spout connectable to the spray gun and the diaphragm deflects to reduce the volume of the chamber as liquid is withdrawn from the reservoir. The diaphragm gradually conforms to the internal surface of the body as the liquid is withdrawn to prevent pockets forming in which the liquid may be trapped so that substantially all the liquid can be dispensed. The reservoir may be supplied pre-filled with the liquid.

Abstract: A foam article for use as a masking material when spray painting a vehicle comprises a plurality of foam strips 1a, 1b, 1c joined together by a common seam 4 along at least one side edge to form a cord 6. The cord 6 can be adapted for masking across gaps of different size in different locations by superimposing the appropriate combination of foam strips 1a, 1b, 1c to provide the required thickness of cord 6. The cord 6 may be secured by wedging in the gap or by attaching an adhesive stripe 2 on at least one of the foam strips 1a to a surface on the inside or outside of the gap. The cord 6 may also be re-used by removing any painted foam strips or by re-arranging the foam strips to conceal any painted foam strips.
