An air cap arrangement and a spray gun. The air cap arrangement comprises an air cap, an air cap ring and a retaining ring. The air cap ring comprises a groove configured to extend on the circumferential inner surface of the air cap ring. The air cap also comprises a groove configured to extend on the circumferential outer surface of the air cap, and the retaining ring is arranged in the groove of the air cap ring and the groove of the air cap to limit the axial movement of the air cap within the air cap ring.

An air-assisted airless spray gun includes a valve cartridge configured to control a flow of air or spray fluid through the spray gun. The valve cartridge includes a housing configured to interface with the spray gun body and fully supporting the flow control components of the valve cartridge. The housing is secured within a bore of the spray gun body. The valve member is supported by the housing and actuatable relative to a seat. The valve is formed between the seal end of the valve member and the seat.

The present invention provides a foam dispenser having a twice automatic cleaning function that automatically discharges a compressed air toward a mixing chamber, when releasing a pulled trigger lever, thereby improving convenience of work and providing economic advantages. The foam dispenser having a twice automatic cleaning function includes a main body 4 including a hose connection unit 34 and an air hose connector 42, a coupling end part formed at the other end thereof, a pair of fluid passageways 20, an air passageway 22, and a handle 3; a dispensing nozzle 6 connected to the coupling end part of the main body 4, has a mixing chamber 64; a separate-fluid supply unit 8 provided inside the main body 4 to open or close the fluid passageways 20; and an automatic cleaner 10 provided at a middle portion of the air passageway 22 to automatically open the air passageway 22.

The invention relates to a spray gun apparatus (10) for spraying a fine film coating of liquid, such as paint, lacquer or bond, onto a surface. The spray gun comprises a main body (12) having a fluid throughbore (22), a gas throughbore (16), and a main trigger lever (80) for allowing a user to spray fluid from the gun. A fluid flow adjustment mechanism (52, 58, 74) facilitates adjustment of the quantity of fluid sprayed from the gun for a given displacement of the main trigger lever (80). An engagement surface (86) is provided on the trigger lever and adapted to engage with a corresponding engagement surface (90) of the fluid flow adjustment mechanism. Pivoting movement of the main trigger lever (80) results in translational movement of at least a portion of the fluid flow adjustment mechanism to thereby selectively spray fluid from the gun upon displacement of the main trigger lever.

A portable apparatus for dispensing and foaming of a product, including: a product container which contains a product that is to be foamed by and dispensed from the apparatus; a gas container, at least containing a gas, for example a single gas or a gas mixture, wherein the gas substantially does not contain any greenhouse gases such as N20; a dispersion device, having a product entrance that is connectable to the product container for receiving product, the dispersion device further being connectable to the gas container for supplying the gas to the product during product discharge; a processing device downstream of the dispersion device for performing a mixing treatment and/or pressure reduction on the product provided with the gas; and a product dispensing head, being part of a top section of the apparatus and being arranged downstream of the processing device.

The invention relates to an alarm system, designed to send an alarm signal to a user equipped with a spraying device when the spraying distance is below a minimum value or above a maximum value, an alarm signal may also be sent when a perpendicularity flaw exists between a spraying axis of the device and a surface to be coated positioned across from the spraying device, the alarm system including means for measuring a spraying distance with a surface to be coated positioned across from the spraying device, wherein the alarm system may also include means for detecting a perpendicularity flaw between the spraying axis and the surface to be coated.

The invention relates to a low energy spray gun for spraying thin film materials with a thickness of <40 microns such as high performance, thin viscosity nano-paints, lacquers, varnishes and the like. The spray gun comprises a main body (12) having a fluid inlet (14a) connected to an external fluid source (not shown) and a fluid outlet nozzle (16a). Gas outlets (16b-d) on the main body carry entrained fluid droplets emitted from the fluid outlet (14a) the shape of which are controlled by horn outlets (24) positioned beyond the fluid outlet (14a) and gas outlets (16b-d). First and second gas conduits (20, 22) are connected between a common gas inlet (18) and gas outlets (16b-d) and horn outlets (24) respectively. The cross-sectional area of a portion of the first gas conduit (20) is reduced relative to that of the second gas conduit (22) thus creating a pressure drop and a discernible improvement in fluid atomisation.

The air cap ring comprises a groove configured to extend on the circumferential inner surface of the air cap ring. The air cap also comprises a groove configured to extend on the circumferential outer surface of the air cap, and the retaining ring is arranged in the groove of the air cap ring and the groove of the air cap to limit the axial movement of the air cap within the air cap ring.
