Apparatus and method for quickly disconnecting a wetted parts subassembly from a paint spray gun wherein the wetted parts subassembly includes a spray tip, pump cylinder and piston and paint cup components including a pump housing cylinder support carrying the pump cylinder and having a pair of protrusions formed on a pump housing cylinder support, a frame having a pair of slots aligned to receive the protrusions when the pump housing cylinder support is received in the frame, a locking lever pivotably attached to the frame adjacent at least one of the slots and movable between a latched position wherein the pump housing cylinder support is retained to the frame, and an unlatched position wherein the pump housing cylinder support is removable from the frame. A passive retention feature frictionally engages the wetted parts subassembly with the frame when the wetted parts subassembly is received in the frame.

Quick disconnect for wetted parts in a paint spray gun

A collapsible cart for paint sprayers including a pair of spaced apart legs, a pump support extending between the upper ends of the legs, a pair of feet, a handle extending above the pump support, and lock and release means connected to the handle, pump support and legs and operable for releasably locking the pump support and handle in a first position wherein the pump support positions the pump for operation and the handle is positioned to enable moving the cart assembly and wherein the lock and release means is further operable for releasably locking the pump support and handle in a second position wherein the cart assembly is collapsed and further wherein each foot is pivotable respect to the leg to which it is attached between a first position generally perpendicular to a lower frame member, and a second position generally adjacent to the lower frame member.
