Abstract: A spray gun includes a gun body having a front body portion and a spray cap assembly attached to the front body portion of the gun body. The spray cap assembly includes a nozzle assembly and a spray cap positioned over the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle piece configured to attach to the front body portion of the gun body and an air flow guide surrounding the nozzle piece. The spray cap interfaces with the air flow guide. The air flow guide is configured to engage with the nozzle piece so that the air flow guide is prevented from moving past the nozzle piece.

Abstract: Various embodiments concern a sprayer having a blower that outputs a HVLP flow of air into a hose, the hose connecting with a spray gun. A pressure sensor measures pressure of the HVLP air within the hose via a tube that branches from a fitting to which the hose connects. If the sensor indicates that the pressure level has increased above a threshold amount, indicating that the trigger of the spray gun is not being actuated, then power output to the blower is reduced (e.g., stopped). HVLP air is trapped within the hose by two valves when the trigger is not actuated. When the sensor indicates that the pressure level has decreased, corresponding to release of the trapped HVLP air into the gun for spraying by actuation of the trigger, power to the blower is increased (e.g., resumed).

Abstract: A handheld fluid sprayer is configured to draw spray fluid from a reservoir mounted on the fluid sprayer and eject the spray fluid through a nozzle. The reservoir is removably mounted to the fluid sprayer. A filling apparatus can connect to the reservoir at the same interfaced that the reservoir connects to the fluid sprayer. The filling apparatus can be used to refill the reservoir. A priming pathway extends through the fluid sprayer and routes air out of the reservoir to prime the pump. The priming pathway extends from the reservoir and to a side of the pump opposite the reservoir. The nozzle includes a spray tip having a tip piece seated within a pre-orifice piece.

Abstract: Various embodiments concern a handheld paint sprayer for spraying a paint. The sprayer can comprise a shell body comprising a door that, when opened, exposes an opening into an interior of the shell body, the door configured to close over the opening. The sprayer can further comprise a trigger connected to a handle, a motor in the interior, and a paint reservoir connected to the shell body. The sprayer can further comprise a nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir and a pump located in the interior of the shell body. The pump is operated by the motor, the pump configured to pump the paint from the reservoir out of the nozzle as a spray. The pump is removable from the interior of the shell body through the opening when the door is opened but is not removable through the opening when the door is closed.

Abstract: A fluid sprayer includes a spray gun that is configured to output a spray of fluid for application on a substrate. A trigger of the spray gun is operatively connected to a controller to control actuation of a pump that drives the spray fluid to the spray gun. A solenoid is connected to a spray valve of the spray gun to actuate the spray valve open to cause spraying by the fluid sprayer.

Abstract: A power tool attachment is configured to connect to a power tool at a static interface and a dynamic interface. The static interface statically fixes the power tool and power tool attachment together. The dynamic interface provides rotational motion generated by the power tool to the power tool attachment. The rotational motion is provided to a drive of the power tool attachment that converts the rotational motion to a linear reciprocating output.

Abstract: A fluid sprayer includes a pump and an electrostatic module configured to provide an electrostatic charge to spray fluid. The electrostatic module is electrically connected to a conductive component of the fluid sprayer, such as a fluid displacement member, fitting, cylinder, or spray tip, to charge the spray fluid via the conductive component. The fluid is electrostatically charged prior to exiting the fluid sprayer.
