A sensor apparatus includes a sensor window; a first nozzle adjacent to the sensor window and oriented to blow across the sensor window, the first nozzle positioned below the sensor window and in a first horizontal direction away from the sensor window, the first nozzle being slot-shaped with a first length and a first thickness; and a second nozzle adjacent to the first nozzle and oriented to blow across the sensor window, the second nozzle positioned below the sensor window and in the first horizontal direction away from the sensor window, the second nozzle being slot-shaped with a second length and a second thickness. The second nozzle is farther from the sensor window in the first horizontal direction than the first nozzle, and the first length of the first nozzle is greater than the second length of the second nozzle.

A spray gun including a nozzle portion in which a substantially V-shaped groove is formed in a circular section of a truncated conical front end with a cone angle ranging from 20° to 90°, and an internal hole is opened as a liquid ejecting port by forming the substantially V-shaped groove; and a gas cap including a cap face which is provided with an atomized gas opening portion having an opening diameter larger than the circular section, the gas cap forming a circular slit-like gap between the gas cap and an outer periphery of the truncated conical front end, the gap being configured to eject gas for atomizing liquid. The circular section of the truncated conical front end has a diameter ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.8 mm. The atomized gas opening portion has the opening diameter equal to or larger than 1.0 mm and smaller than 3.0 mm.

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.

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.

A device for adjusting air pressure of a spray gun, and a method for adjusting air pressure of a spray gun includes installing an air adjustment valve in a first chamber located at the rear end of a rear path of the spray gun. The spray gun is connected with a compressor and the users operates the air adjustment valve to reduce the pressure in the first chamber, and the second chamber is supplied with a pre-set pressure so as to stably provide constant pressure to the front path to proceed paint spraying task.

A handheld portable spraying system includes a fluid source having a plurality of different fluids and a fluid container configured to separately contain the plurality of different fluids. The handheld portable spraying system also includes a fluid pathway configured to carry the plurality of different fluids from the fluid source through an outlet of the handheld portable spraying system, and a fluid conveyance system configured to cause the plurality of different fluids to flow along the fluid pathway. The handheld portable spraying system further includes a controller configured to generate a control signal to control the flow of the plurality of different fluids along the fluid pathway.

A kit for a spray gun including a sleeve delimiting an inner volume provided to contain a pressurized fluid, the sleeve being configured to be connected to a main body of a spray gun, the sleeve having a radial periphery delimiting a fluid outlet of the sleeve and at least one orifice emerging on the radial periphery and fluidly connecting the inner volume and the radial periphery, a connector having an intake end connected to the fluid outlet and a connecting end suitable for being connected to a cup so as to fluidly connect the cup to the inner volume of the sleeve, and a ring surrounding the sleeve and covering the fluid outlet outside the intake end of the connector.
