Abstract:
A spray roller system for application of architectural paints coating, includes an extension tube, a spray head mounted on a distal end of the extension tube, and the in-line valve with a trigger mounted on a proximal end of the extension tube, and a roller handle removable mounted on the extension tube adjacent the spray head. The spray roller system can spray and back roll a coating on a down stroke and roll on each up stroke. When the roller handle is removed from the extension tube, it can be used to hand roll sensitive wall areas. With the roller handle removed, extension tube, spray head, and in-line valve can be used as a spray extension to apply coatings in hard to reach areas.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns a paint spray gun and a method of handling the spray gun with one hand. The gun comprises a body comprising a valve, a trigger actuatable to open and close the valve, a handle, and a guard having a top end and a bottom end, the top end attached to the body and the bottom end located below the trigger. The trigger is located directly between the guard and the handle. When gripped, the thump of the hand wraps around one side of the handle, the index and middle fingers of the hand wrap around the other side of the handle above the bottom end of the guard to contact the trigger, and the ring and little fingers of the hand are below the bottom of the guard. The trigger is actuated with only the index and middle fingers pulling the trigger to open the valve.

Abstract:
An adapter allows direct connection of a handheld spray device to paint cans of varying dimensions. The adapter includes a cage for holding the paint can, a cap that connects the cage to the handheld spray device, and a gasket that seals the open upper end of the paint can to the cap. The adapter may also include a suction tube extension that is connectable between the pump inlet and the suction tube of the spray device. A can spacer insert is positionable in the cage to elevate paint cans of varying heights so that the upper ring of the paint can engages the gasket.
Abstract:
A fluid dispensing device includes an electrostatic discharge protection system. Accumulation and discharge of electrostatic energy created by operation of the device is reduced or prevented by the electrostatic discharge protection system without an earth ground connection. The electrostatic discharge protection system may include a number of features, such as a static wick, nonconductive components that electrically isolate the spray tip of the device, nonconductive isolation barriers, nonconductive fluid reservoir and suction tube components, a nonconductive coating of a control valve component, and a nonconductive spring retainer of the control valve.

Abstract:
A spray gun includes a gun body having a front body portion and a spray cap assembly attached to the front body portion of the gun body. The spray cap assembly includes a nozzle assembly and a spray cap positioned over the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle piece configured to attach to the front body portion of the gun body and an air flow guide surrounding the nozzle piece. The spray cap interfaces with the air flow guide. The air flow guide is configured to engage with the nozzle piece so that the air flow guide is prevented from moving past the nozzle piece.
