Abstract: An electrically operated displacement pump includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is disposed coaxially with a fluid displacement member and is connected to the fluid displacement member to drive axial reciprocation of the fluid displacement member. A drive mechanism is disposed axially between, disposed coaxially with, and connected to each of the rotor and the fluid displacement member. The drive mechanism receives a rotational output from the rotor and provides a linear input to the fluid displacement member to cause pumping by the fluid displacement member.

Abstract: A pumping assembly comprises: a motor (24) including a stator and a rotor, the rotor configured to rotate relative the stator on a pump axis (PA); a drive mechanism (24) connected to the rotor, the drive mechanism (24) configured to receive a rotational output from the rotor and convert the rotational output into a linear input along the pump axis to cause pumping of the fluid; and a piston (34) connected to the drive mechanism (26) to receive the linear input and disposed coaxially with the drive mechanism (26) and the rotor, wherein the piston (34) is configured to reciprocate axially along the pump axis to pump fluid.

Abstract: A fluid sprayer active cooling system is configured to actively cool heat generating components of a spray system. The cooling system includes a fan assembly that is actively controlled between activating and deactivated states to control flow of cooling fluid through a cooling circuit. The fan assembly is operated independently from the motor that powers pumping by a pump of the spray system.

Abstract: A fluid moving apparatus includes an electric motor having a rotor and a stator and a fluid displacement member. The rotor rotates relative to the stator on a common axis to generate a rotational output. The rotational output is provided to the fluid displacement member to power the fluid displacement member to one of move linearly along and rotate about the common axis. The stator includes one or more coils configured to power rotation of the rotor. The one or more coils extend circumferentially around and can be coaxial on the common axis.

Abstract: A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module.

Abstract: A spray gun includes a gun body and a handle removably connected to the gun body. A filter is disposed in the handle for filtering particulate from the spray fluid. A trigger guard is connected to the handle and gun body and includes a contour on a lower portion of the trigger guard for receiving one or more fingers of the user that are not interfacing with and contacting the trigger. The trigger guard can be disconnected from the gun body and rotated relative to the handle. The trigger guard can contact a portion of the handle and exert torque on the handle to connect the handle to and disconnect the handle from the gun body. The portion of the handle at least partially covers a fitting connecting to the handle to provide spray fluid to the spray gun.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to remote priming of a texture sprayer. The texture sprayer includes a main unit, a hose assembly and a spray gun, the main unit includes an air compressor, a sensor that senses a parameter of air compressed by the air compressor, and a texture material pump that is activated and deactivated in response to the parameter sensed. A spray gun can be remoted coupled to the main unit via the hose assembly. The spray gun includes a nozzle, from which the texture material is forcefully expelled as a spray, a trigger, and a prime valve. Actuation of the trigger causes the spray gun to mix the compressed air with the texture material and to forcefully expel the texture material as a spray from the nozzle, thereby causing flow of the compressed air. Opening the prime valve releases the compressed air thereby causing flow of the compressed air.

Abstract: A sprayer includes a spray gun and a hopper. An air source provides compressed air to the sprayer to both eject fluid from the spray gun as a spray and to pressurize the hopper. The spray gun includes passages for providing compressed air to the nozzle for spraying and to the hopper for pressurizing the hopper. The spray gun further includes a relief valve for venting pressurized air from the hopper. The hopper receives the compressed air through a port in the hopper, and the compressed air assists the flow of material out of the hopper and into the spray gun.
