FLUID RESERVOIR FOR PAINT SPRAY GUN
A fluid reservoir for a paint spray gun comprises a container having an opening and a cover body that sleeves on the opening; the cover body is provided with a connecting port that connects with the paint spray gun; a side of the container has scale and the container is provided with a ventilation device; a filtering device is installed in the fluid reservoir; the cover body is provided with a groove corresponding to the periphery of the container opening; the periphery of container opening is inserted into the groove; a buckle mechanism connects the cover body with the container. Compared with the structure of screw thread connection, such connection manner improves the tightness between the cover body and the container, and makes the cover body and the container easier to be assembled and disassembled.
The present invention relates to a fluid reservoir for a paint spray gun.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONConventionally, a fluid reservoir for a spray gun generally includes a container and a cover that are connected by screw threads. The cover is provided with a vent on a top thereof, or the container is provided with a ventilation device. As the connection screw threads of the container and the outer surface of the container have a smooth transition, when the paint is spilled accidentally in the course of feeding or pouring, the spilled paint may directly flow through the connection screw threads and contaminate a large area of the outer surface of the container, which causes difficulty in cleaning the container.
Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN201006515 entitled “PAINT TANK WITH ORNAMENT RING FOR PAINT SPRAY GUN” discloses a paint tank with an ornament ring for a paint spray gun that includes a paint tank body and a cover that connects with the paint tank body by screw threads. A ventilation device is buckled at the center of the top of the cover. An ornament ring is disposed below the position where the paint tank body and the cover are connected by the screw thread. An annular groove is opened on an upper surface of the ornament ring. This utility model adds an ornament ring structure on an existing paint tank, and thus has the characteristics of having a simple structure and being easy to use, prevents the large-area paint contamination to the paint tank body, and meanwhile provides the convenience for differentiating different paints. Although this utility model solves the problems of large-area paint contamination to the paint tank body, the paint still has a chance of contamination to the screw thread of the paint tank body or the cover, which incurs difficulty in assembling or disassembling of the paint tank body and the cover or even worse the paint tank body and the cover cannot be assembled or disassembled due to the contamination of the paint or a leakage occurs after the assembly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONTo overcome the defects existing in the related art, the present invention is directed to a fluid reservoir for a paint spray gun having a simple structure with improved tightness between the cover body and the container.
The present invention provides a fluid reservoir for a paint spray gun, which includes a container having an opening and a cover body that sleeves on the container opening. The cover body is provided with a connecting port that connects with the paint spray gun. A side of the container has a scale and the container is provided with a ventilation device. A filter device is installed in the fluid reservoir. The cover body is provided with a groove corresponding to the periphery of the container opening. The periphery of the container opening is inserted into the groove. A buckle mechanism tightly connects the cover body and the container.
The fluid reservoir for the paint spray gun of the present invention further has the following technical features.
The buckle mechanism includes a clamping wing disposed on the cover body and a rib disposed on the container and buckled with the clamping wing.
Alternatively, the buckle mechanism includes a clamping wing disposed on the container and a rib disposed on the cover body and buckled with the clamping wing.
The clamping wing is provided with a retainer, and the retainer is buckled with the rib.
The filter device is a filter screen having a buckle portion, and the filter screen is buckled on the cover body.
The filter screen is provided with a reinforcing rib, and the reinforcing rib at least includes an annular ring buckled with the cover body.
The filter screen is provided with a raised portion departing from the connecting port.
A seal ring is installed in the groove, and the periphery of the container opening abuts against the seal ring.
The connecting port is provided with an inserted member, and the inserted member is used together with the paint spray gun.
The container is provided with or formed with a placement portion for placing horizontally.
As compared with the related art, the fluid reservoir for the paint spray gun of the present invention at least has the following advantages.
Firstly, as compared with the related art, in the fluid reservoir for the paint spray gun of the present invention, the cover body is provided with a groove corresponding to the periphery of the container opening and the periphery of the container opening is inserted into the groove, which improves the tightness between the cover body and the container. The cover body and the container are connected by a buckle mechanism, which further improves the connection tightness of the container. This structure in comparison with the screw thread connection structure is easier to be assembled and disassembled. Secondly, the buckle mechanism includes a clamping wing and a rib buckled with the clamping wing. The buckle structure improves the attachment strength between the cover body and the container, so that the fluid reservoir has a better sealing performance. Furthermore, the filter screen is provided with a raised portion departing from the connecting port and the filter screen may be detached from the cover body by pulling the raised portion, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement of the cover body. Finally, the connecting port is provided with an inserted member, and the inserted member is used together with the paint spray gun, in which different inserted members may be disposed for matching different models of the paint spray gun.
The additional features of the present invention will be illustrated in the following description and may be apparent from the description or may be known from the practice of the present invention.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below for illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the like reference numerals indicate the same elements. The present invention will be explained below through the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are exemplary and should not be regarded as limitations to the present invention.

Furthermore, to improve the sealing tightness performance, the clamping wing 71 may be provided with a retainer 73. The retainer 73 is buckled with the rib 72, which enables a firmer connection between the cover body 2 and the container 1.
Referring to
Referring to
According to the embodiments of the present invention, the container 1 is provided with or formed with a placement portion 9 for placing horizontally. For example, the placement portion 9 may be a planar structure of the bottom of the container 1, a seat structure disposed on the bottom of the container 1 or an extending portion that stretches out from the bottom of the container 1. Therefore, when detaching the container 1 from the paint spray gun, the container 1 may be placed on the top of a table on the floor, which provides the convenience of refilling the paint.
While there has been shown several and alternate embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood that certain changes can be made as would be known to one skilled in the art without departing from the underlying scope of the present invention as is discussed and set forth above and below including claims.
