Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for resistively damping capacitively stored energy in electrostatic spray guns, wherein a fluid spray valve incorporates an electrode for carrying high electrostatic voltage, the electrode terminating in the spray valve and the spray valve having a conductor contacting the electrode and extending externally thereof. A resistive element at least partially encloses the spray valve and electrically contacts the conductor, permitting electrical conductivity while also permitting axial sliding movement of the spray valve inside of the resistive element.
