Spray gun

A mounting configuration for an electrostatic spray gun () includes a probe having a first non-conductive body encasing a first conductive element and a probe mount extending from the electrostatic spray gun with a second non-conductive body encasing a second conductive element. The mounting configuration includes a first elastomeric ring () disposed about the second non-conductive body and configured to interface with the first non-conductive body. The first elastomeric ring () is configured to exert a force on the first non-conductive body to bias the first non-conductive body away from the electrostatic spray gun () such that the probe is secured in a home position. A pin () extending from one of the first non-conductive body and the second non-conductive body is seated in a notch () formed in the other one of the first non-conductive body and the second non-conductive body.

Mounting of external charging probe on electrostatic spray gun

An alignment tool for engaging with an air cap of an air assisted airless spray gun includes a tool body configured to fit over the air cap and an indicator disposed on the tool body. The indicator is configured to indicate an angular position of the air cap relative to a vertical gun axis of the air assisted airless spray gun. The alignment tool includes a first surface configured to engage with a first air horn of the air cap and a second surface configured to engage with a second air horn of the air cap to exert a rotational force on the air cap and change the angular position of the air cap relative to the vertical gun axis.
