A barrel () adapted for use with a spray gun () is disclosed. The barrel () comprises a boost feed port () fluidly connected to a boost passageway (), the boost passageway () being integral to the barrel (). The boost passageway () is adapted to convey a pressurized boost fluid originating in the spray gun () to a boost delivery port () to assist in urging a coating fluid from a compatible coating fluid reservoir () for spraying by the spray gun ().

Removable nozzle tips, spray head assemblies including the nozzle tips and liquid spray guns that include the nozzle tips are described herein. The removable nozzle tips provide and define both the liquid nozzle openings and the center air outlets for the center air of the liquid spray guns and the spray head assemblies. The nozzle tips are removably attached over a liquid nozzle port formed in the spray head assembly and/or on the spray gun platform or body using any suitable attachment mechanism. The removable nozzle tips can be removed from the liquid spray gun or the spray head assembly without disturbing the remainder of the spray gun or the spray head assembly.

A filament dispenser includes a spool, hub, and an axle. The axle is laterally movable from a first position to a second position. The axle is independently rotatable with respect to the spool. In the extended position, the axle may be attached to a second spool, forming an assembly of operably-coupled filament dispensers. In the assembly, the connected spools are independently rotatable.

The present invention is a tattoo stencil chemical composition comprising stearic acid, triethanolamine, a humectant to retain moisture on a user's skin, water and a preservative chemical composition that includes 56% propylene glycol, 30% diazolidinyl urea, 11% methylparaben and 3% propylparaben. The tattoo stencil chemical composition can also be sterilized by gamma rays or ethylene oxide and injected into a flexible wipe, one or more packets or a bulk hands free dispenser. The invention also includes a method for manufacturing a tattoo stencil chemical composition.

A composition of matter includes a cationic dye and a solvent, wherein the composition does not have particles that are greater than 25 microns in diameter. The disclosure also describes a method for producing a composition of matter. An ink jet cartridge includes the composition of matter. A device includes a substrate having an image printed thereon with the composition of matter. A method includes using an inkjet printer to print a graphic on a first major surface of a substrate; moistening a user's skin surface; contacting the first major surface of the substrate to the user's moistened skin surface; and removing the substrate from the user's skin surface, thereby leaving a mirror image of the printed graphic on the user's skin surface. Moreover, an art kit includes a first substrate having a graphic printed thereon and a second substrate having a mirror image of the graphic printed thereon.

A splice system for linear connection of fishing lines includes a female connector and a male connector. Each connector has first and second opposite ends, a longitudinal axis, and a shaped exterior surface. The first end of the female connector is connected to a first fishing line section; the second end has a first opening; and the connector has a raised interior feature. The second end of the male connector is connected to a second fishing line section; the first end is configured for coaxial insertion into the first opening of the female connector, and the first end has a raised exterior feature. The connectors have a first relative position representing a disengaged state and a second relative position representing an engaged state. The first relative position and the second relative position are rotationally displaced about the axis.

A spray gunhas a spray headconnected to a bodyof the spray gunand a reservoirconnected to the spray headfor supplying liquid to a spray nozzleof the spray head. The spray headis arranged so that liquid from the reservoiris delivered to the spray nozzlewithout passing through the spray gun bodyin response to actuation of the spray gunvia a trigger. The spray headis releasably secured and can be detached from the spray gun bodyand thrown away after use. The reservoiris mounted on the spray headand can be removed and thrown away with the spray headafter use.

Spray gun nozzle and air cap assembly

Spray gun platform mounting

The present invention provides a liquid spray gun with several improved features, including (1) non-cylindrical air passageways on air horns included in an air cap portion of a body assembly that provide improved shape and uniformity for the wide elongate stream of liquid formed by the spray gun; (2) the air cap portion of the body assembly being mounted for manual rotation on a nozzle portion of the body assembly between positions defined by stops and retained at those positions by friction; and (3) the body assembly through which passes liquid sprayed by the spray gun being molded of polymeric material and being manually releasable from a metal platform portion of the spray gun through which air is fed to passageways through the body assembly to spray the liquid.
