A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module.

Transfer pump

A spray gun includes a gun body and valves configured to control flow of material and air through the gun body. A trigger is mounted to the gun body and is disposed relative to the valves such that the trigger actuates the valves in sequence to begin air flow and material flow. A sensor senses when the trigger is in an actuated state and the sensor causes a pump to begin pumping material to the spray gun. Release of the trigger causes the trigger to leave the actuated state. A detent mechanism holes the trigger in a detent state intermediate the actuated state and a resting state. The sensor does not sense the trigger with the trigger in the detent state. The trigger maintains the valves open with the trigger in the detent state.

Material spray gun

A mix manifold () includes a plurality of valves to control the flow of material therethrough. First and second valves () are linked for simultaneous actuation. The first and second valves each include valve members () disposed within and rotatable relative to seal bodies (). The valve members seal against the seal bodies and the seal bodies seal against the manifold. A solvent valve () also includes a valve member () in a seal body (). The first and second valves are configured to open only when the solvent valve is closed. The solvent valve is configured to open only when the first and second valves are closed. The solvent valve can rotate between a plurality of positions to control the flow of solvent to flowpaths downstream of the first and second valves.

Mix manifold and valve seal assembly

A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module. The transfer pump further includes a spout extending mounted to an outlet connector of the fluid module by an inlet end of the spout interfacing with an outlet end of the outlet connector. The spout is repositionable relative to the outlet connector while mounted to the outlet connector.
