A premixing-type spray gun which mixes a paint and compressed air inside the atomizing head thereof and sprays out the mixture as atomized from the spray hole, having a flow control valve to adjust the sectional area of the paint supply path communicating with the paint nozzle or having a relief valve disposed downstream of a throttle path made of the inlet path through which the spraying air pressure is partially supplied into the pressurizing container. The flow rate of the paint can be adjusted independently of the trigger operation of the spray gun, and the amount of the paint suppled under pressure can be controlled, thereby keeping a stable spray amount.

Spray gun with paint supply amount control

A low pressure atomizing spray gun is disclosed in which paint is injected from a nozzle, an opening of the nozzle is controlled by a needle valve, air is mixed with a flow of paint, air is blown from both sides after the air-paint mixture is sprayed from a spraying nozzle and it is again mixed and atomized. The nozzle is formed as circular hole with a circular outer shape, and the spray hole is designed with a lip-like shape having different dimensions in longitudinal and lateral directions and with a conical or similar shape. Lateral air holes are furnished in front of the spray hole, at opposite positions on both sides of the spray flow and function to blow the diffusing air flow toward the spray flow. A pair of longitudinal air holes is furnished to inject the secondary air obliquely from behind the spray hole and to make the air collide with the flattened spray pattern.
