Abstract
A spray gun includes a main body and a spray head. The spray head has an air cap, a hollow nozzle member having a nozzle tip for dispensing a liquid to be sprayed. The hollow nozzle member has a radially extending weir which together with a surface of the main body defines an air distribution chamber for receiving and distributing compressed air from a supply inlet. An annular sealing member is sealingly disposed between the radially extending weir and the surface of the main body, dividing the chamber, so that air passing into the chamber through an opening to one side of the annular wall is directed to a central aperture of the air cap and air passing into the chamber through an opening to the other side of the annular wall is directed to lateral apertures of the air cap.
