Abstract:
A conventional liquid spray gun having a compressed air supply equipped with a liquid, e.g. paint, container for supplying the liquid to be sprayed onto a target surface. The container has a closed bottom, an open top and a cylindrical sidewall. A removable cover is attached over the open top of the container, and the cover has a pair of apertures extending through it, one of which holds a proximal end of a rigid tube whose distal end extends to a point close to the container's bottom. Slidingly mounted on the rigid tube is a generally circular, movable plunger whose periphery engages the cylindrical sidewall of the container. Pressurized air injected through the second aperture in the cover forces the plunger against the liquid's surface and causes the liquid to flow through the lumen of the rigid tube to the liquid inlet port of the spray gun.

Abstract:
A fluid pump comprises an electric motor configured to provide a unidirectional rotational output. The fluid pump further comprises a screw drive coupled to the electric motor. The screw drive is configured to convert the unidirectional rotational output of the electric motor into reciprocating motion to linearly reciprocate a piston coupled to the screw drive.

International Classification:
F04B 9/04 B05B 9/00 B05B 9/04 F04B 19/22
Abstract:
A fluid delivery system comprises a motor that is configured to provide rotational motion to a rotary component. The fluid delivery system also comprises an alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism comprises a first roller that engages a pin at a first end, and a second roller that engages the pin at a second end. The alignment mechanism also includes a coupler that is configured to couple the rotary component to a reciprocating component. Additionally, the alignment mechanism comprises a first alignment cavity that is configured to receive the first roller and a second alignment, and a second cavity that is configured to receive the second roller to align reciprocating motion of the reciprocating component.

B05B 12/08
Abstract:
The invention relates to a paint spraying device with a spray head which dispenses a quantity of paint via a needle valve and a paint-dispensing line leading to the spray head, wherein the paint-dispensing line is connected upstream of a pressure reducer/pressure regulator which regulates the paint-dispensing pressure and holds the pressure in the paint-dispensing line to the spray head substantially constant.
An apparatus and method for portably heating water for the purpose of showering or cleanup. A flow of water, originating from a supply container, is warmed as it passes through a heat exchanger transferring energy from a heat source. The heated flow of water is deposited into an accumulating container. The water temperature is actively and automatically controlled by a temperature-responsive valve. Responding to the temperature of the flowing water, the temperature-responsive valve varies the flow of water so as to produce an accurate water temperature within the accumulating container. The flow of water is gravitationally motivated by a pressure head differential between the supply container positioned at an upper elevation and the accumulating container positioned at a lower elevation.

Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a sprayer for a fluid delivery system. In one example, a sprayer for a fluid delivery system is provided. The sprayer includes a main body having a handle and a trigger. The sprayer also includes a spray head having a fluid input for receiving fluid material and a fluid output for spraying the fluid material. The spray head is removably couplable to the main body by rotating the spray head with respect to the main body to engage a connection component of the spray head to a corresponding connection component of the main body. The sprayer also includes a spray head locking mechanism on the main body that extends to engage a portion of the spray head.

Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a nozzle or tip for a fluid delivery system, and more specifically, but not by limitation, to a nozzle for a texture sprayer. In one exemplary embodiment, a texture spraying system is provided and includes a spraying device, an air source configured to provide pressurized air to the spraying device, and a texture material source configured to provide texture material to the spraying device. The system also includes a nozzle mounted proximate an output of the spraying device. The nozzle receives a flow of air and a flow of texture material. The nozzle includes a pin positioned in the airflow and is configured to produce a spray pattern that is substantially rectangular.
