A paint spray gun in which its nozzle, nozzle-gun adapter and paint inlet fitting are all formed by a single plastic nozzle unit, and its air cap is also a one-piece plastic molding. Minor molding inaccuracies in these parts are corrected by thin section nozzle unit walls that engage portions of the air cap.

An automatic lubrication assembly that dispenses grease under pressure to machinery which requires frequent lubrication, including a spring biased one-piece rigid plastic molded plunger that has a flexible thin walled sealing lip eliminating the requirement for any seals, slidable in an open ended plastic grease cup covered by a removable cap that permits the biasing spring to be easily changed. The grease cup is formed integrally with a plastic base that has a metal outlet fitting insert molded therein that extends into the cup a substantial distance beyond a transverely positioned inlet fitting in the base to absorb side loads on the plastic cup and base.

A mileage counter for vehicles that provides signals after predetermined mileage intervals indicating the need for vehicle maintenance. Several different maintenance requirements are signalled at different intervals and after the maintenance on the vehicle has been performed each of the counting functions may be reset independently. The counter consists of a plurality of ascending order counter wheels driven by the vehicle's speedometer drive. Several ratchet wheel and switch counting assemblies are mounted adjacent and driven by the higher order one of the counter wheels. One of these counting assemblies may, for example, provide a signal indicating the need for maintenance after a five thousand mile interval, and another signal after fifty thousand miles. Each of these counting assemblies includes an advancing pawl for the ratchet wheel that moves laterally to reset the wheel after the maintenance has been performed, and a holding pawl that also defines one of the contacts of the switch. Each of the counting assemblies stops advancing indefinitely after its predetermined mileage interval without adversely affecting the operation of the remaining portions of the counter.

Resettable mileage counting mechanism

A wheel spinner assembly used in dynamic balancing to spin the wheel to determine the magnitude and angular orientation of the imbalance. A motor and spinner are provided mounted on a support for pivoting the spinner into engagement with the wheel to be balanced. Also provided is a brake element that also has a pivotally mounted support so that the brake may be pivoted into engagement with the associated wheel after spinup. For the purpose of pivoting both the brake and the spinner selectively into engagement with the wheel to be balanced, a linkage assembly is provided including a first link connected to the spinner support and a second link pivotally connected to the first link at one end and the brake support at the other end. This linkage permits both the brake and the spinner to be operated by a common handle and also provides the operator with the proper leverage and feel during both braking and spinup. Another feature of the present invention is that both the brake support and the spinner and motor support are pivotally mounted about the spinner wheel axle providing a simplified construction. For resisting the tendency of the tire to urge the spinner assembly away from the tire there are provided resilient feet projecting downwardly from the spinner for gripping the ground surface.
