Abstract
A spray gun reservoir has an oversize central openingat one end allowing liquid to be added to the reservoir for fast filling with reduced risk of spillage. A cap memberis connectable to the reservoir and has a spoutproviding a fluid outlet of reduced size relative to the openingfor connection to the spray gun. The reservoir can be disconnected from the cap memberwhen it is desired to add liquid to the reservoir. In this way, the reservoir can be re-filled in use.
