Patent number: 6619569Abstract: The extended reach pressure relief spray valve mounts on the end of any length extension tube with any brand of spray gun or feeder valve. As the fluid is pumped through the spray gun and extension tube and into the spray valve, the pressure increases until it reaches an adjustable pressure relief set point (such as 1000 psi). At that point the valve opens and begins spraying. The relief spray valve doesn't require any long needles or cables to actuate the valve that results in a very simple extended reach pole gun. The relief spray valve opens by fluid pressure. Such fluid pressure can be easily adjusted by the user. The valve can be installed on any length pole. The spray relief valve is located next to the spray tip to minimize the paint from spitting and provides a sharp spray pattern. The spray relief valve is also built with a 180-degree swivel spray head for easy turn directional spraying.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Graco Minnesota Inc.Inventor: Michael J.

Patent number: 6616069Abstract: In a convertible blow and airless spray gun, separate attachments may be substituted at the end of a blowpipe coupled to a blowgun by means of a connection thread formed on the tip end of the blowpipe. The blowgun can be secured to a long extension blowpipe or to an airless spray adaptor to construct an airless spray cleaning or painting gun. By means of the suction generated by the high speed compressed air flow in an attached hose, liquid in a tank is sucked up to mix with the high speed air jet stream at the inside of a blow head to force an atomized cleaner or paint jet stream to blow out. A nozzle carrier rotates freely to allow the attached hose to hang beneath the air gun body, so as to provide for ease of operation of the gun.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2002Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Inventor: Wuu-Cheau Jou

Patent number: 6612507Abstract: A sink water spraying apparatus includes a sprayer housing having a channel extending between inlet and outlet ports. The housing includes a trigger for actuating water flow. A pulsation selector disc is rotatably coupled to the housing and defines a hole that may be selectively aligned with the outlet port. A pulsation assembly is connected to a shaft extending from the housing and may receive a water stream flowing through the pulsation selector disc. The pulsation assembly includes a rotor for repetitively disrupting this flow so as to make it pulsate. A pattern selector disc is releasably coupled to the pulsation selector disc and defines differently configured nozzle ports. The pattern selector disc may be rotated such that a water stream received from the pulsation assembly may be conveyed in a desired pattern. An auxiliary cleaning attachment may be releasably coupled to the pattern selector disc.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2002Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Inventors: Sandra D. Meyer, Ryan E. Meyer, Tyler Harrell

Patent number: 6612506Abstract: A spray gun head includes, a diverter bushing, a nozzle body, an air cap and a locking ring. First and second vent holes are separately provided in the spray gun head. The diverter bushing is provided with a plurality of jets disposed in relation to the first vent hole to form a first air port. The nozzle body is provided with an airflow guide ring having airflow guide holes disposed relative to the inner wall of the diverter bushing to form a second air port. A plurality of first jets and second jets are provided in the air cap which guards the nozzle body. Air from the first and the second vent holes flows-through the first air port, the second air port air, the diverter bushing and the airflow holes in the airflow guide ring to be respectively ejected from both air jets.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2002Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Inventor: Tiao-Hsiang Huang

Publication number: 20030146304Abstract: Liquid spraying equipment, for example for paint, adhesives and chemicals, comprises a spray gun (30) having a luid outlet (53) to which liquid is pumped from a container, the outlet being adjaceent a pressurised air or other fluid outlet (34) to entrain the liquid and thereby atomise it. The liquid pump is housed in a separate unit ot which a removable liquid container can be sealingly coupled. The unit also contains a pump to deliver pressurised air to a chamber with a hose ocnnection to the spray gun and with a tapping to the liquid container so as to pressurise the liquid and assist the liquid pump to deliver it to the spray gun through a pipe, possibly within the pressurised air hose. The flow of liquid through the outlet is regulated by a pin (38) or the like slidably mounted in a bore (35). A trigger mechanism (36) retracts the pin from the outlet against the force of a restoring spring (40). An adjustable limit stop (49) determines the degree of opening of the liquid outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2002Publication date: August 7, 2003Inventor: Ian Michael Anthony

Patent number: 6592057Abstract: A multi-directional spray nozzle is disclosed. The multi-directional spray nozzle may include a grip member and a pivotal member. A rounded end of the pivotal member pivotally engages a socket of the grip member in either a ball-and-socket configuration or a hinged joint configuration. An internal passage of the grip member is in fluid communication with a pivotal passage situated within the rounded end of the pivotal member. The pivotal passage is in fluid communication with an exit port on the pivotal member. A pressurized fluid may be emitted from an exit port on the pivotal member. The pivotal member may be positioned at various angles with respect to the grip member to direct the emitted fluid to a desired location.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Orbit Irrigtion Products, Inc.Inventors: Kent C.
