Abstract
A reversible spray tip holder for connection to a spray gun comprises a union with like quick-disconnect mounts on each of entry and exit ends for connecting to a mounting adaptor which facilitates connection to the spray gun. A base and a tip housing join by means of a base threaded bolt threaded into a matching tip housing threaded recess to comprise the union. In the tip housing is a tip receiver opening into the tip housing threaded recess on one end and extending to the tip housing exit end at its other end which is closed except for an aperture through which the tip receivable within sprays paint. A tip is received and sealed into the tip receiver, secured therein by the base threaded bolt, with a tip nozzle immediately adjacent to and directed through the aperture. A through passageway extends from the adaptor and spray gun through the base and tip housing to the spray tip. Diverging shields on the tip housing preserve an intended spray pattern. In operational mode, the entry end is connected to the adaptor. To quickly clean the spray, the union mount is reversed with the exit end connected to the adaptor.
