Spray gun

A spray gun for use with a source of pressurized liquid provided through a supply hose is disclosed having a body with hose connection means at the rear portion thereof and a pistol grip-style handle extending therefrom. The body has a longitudinally passageway extending from the hose connection means to the longitudinally opposed fluid dispensing end of the body. Disposed within the passageway is a plunger, slidably movable between opened and closed positions to selectively allow the dispensing of fluid through the exiting end of the body. The plunger includes a longitudinally bore partially therethrough, the rear portion of the bore being in fluid communication with the hose connections means, and radial bores providing fluid communication between the front end of the longitudinal bore and the internal passageway of the body. The trigger disposed in the handle is operatively connected to a leaver which, upon depression of the trigger, engages a pusher ring which drives the hose connection means and the plunger rearward, thereby moving the plunger from its closed to its open position. A return spring disposed in the passageway provides resistance and biases the plunger in its closed position. The trigger includes automatic locking means which must be disengaged prior to depression of the trigger.

A fountain brush assembly is provided with a removable and replaceable series of brush heads through which a cleaning fluid such as water readily passes to the surface to be cleaned, the assembly including a reservoir for detergent to be selectively added to the water, control of the use and amount of the detergent being effected through manipulation of the cover for the reservoir.

An aspiration sprayer comprises a disc valve for controlling the degree of aspiration over a very wide range by means of a plurality of passages of different sizes formed in the disc valve and selectively introduced into the flow path of the liquid to be aspirated, the disc valve rotating with a knob and being spring-urged into leakproof relationship with that flow path, the carrier liquid with aspiration material entrained therein emerging from the sprayer in a strong jet-like stream the nature and direction of which can be modified by a deflector mounted on the device so as to be slidable between operative positions. The knob and the disc valve may be readily assembled and disassembled and the operative passages of the valve are accessible for cleaning without requiring disassembly of the device. The passages in the disc valve may comprise a plurality of radially enlarged vortex areas interconnected by spaces of lesser width.

Aspiration-type sprayer

A fluid dispenser, preferably a pistol grip type hose nozzle, affords no flow, solid misty cone spray and solid jet spray capabilities and contains a fluid flow rate control feature for instantaneous adjustment of the rate of fluid flow through the dispenser.
