Definitions

  • the present invention relates to equipment for applying liquid coating materials to a surface, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods for swivel attachment of supply vessels to applicator devices, including sprayers, spray guns, pads, porous members, and the like.
  • a wide variety of equipment for applying liquids such as paint, varnish, or other coating materials are known.
  • Some types of hand held applicator devices for applying liquid coating materials to a surface have a supply vessel attached directly to the applicator device that utilize the force of gravity to supply the coating material to the applicator device.
  • Figure 2 shows the spray assembly 10 in an upwardly directed position 40.
  • the liquid coating material in the supply vessel 14 flows to a non-operational level 42 so that no coating material is supplied to the spray gun 12. Consequently, the spray gun 12 only emits a spray of gas 44 from the pressure source 16. Furthermore, in the upwardly directed position 40, the coating material exerts pressure on the removable cover 34, and the danger of an accidental spill 46 of the coating material is increased.
  • the protruding portion 152 is formed from a plastic material
  • the second engagement member 154 surrounding the concavity 164 is formed from aluminum.
  • Figure 7 is an isometric, schematic view of the swivel assembly 150 of
  • the swivel assembly 150 may be modified from the particular embodiment shown in Figures 3-7 without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
  • the swivel assembly 150 may be inverted from that configuration shown in the accompanying figures so that the first engagement member 152 is coupled to the spray gun 12 and the second engagement member 154 is coupled to the supply vessel 114.
  • the first and second engagement members 152, 154 may be either male or female threaded to accommodate a variety of supply vessels or spray guns offered by various manufacturers.
  • the O-ring seal 160 may be disposed within the concavity 164 rather than in the protruding portion 156.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross sectional exploded side view of a swivel assembly
  • the swivel assembly 350 includes a first engagement member 352 having a partially-spherical protruding portion 356 that is received by a concavity 364 of a second engagement member 354.
  • a comiector portion 357 extends between the partially-spherical protruding portion 356 and a threaded base portion 358.
  • the first engagement member 352 has a first passageway 162 disposed therethrough including a flared or conical segment 163 extending into the first engagement member 352.
  • the swivel assembly 350 similarly permits the first engagement member 352 to be rotated in either direction, as shown by the arrow R.
  • the swivel assembly 350 provides still other operational advantages by allowing a desired amount of friction to be developed between the first engagement member 352 and the second engagement member 354 by applying a corresponding torque to the collar 370. Consequently, the relative positions of the supply vessel 114 and the spray gun 12 (as shown in Figure 3) may be readily adjusted and then retained in the selected position.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil et des procédés de fixation par pivotement de récipients d'alimentation à des applicateurs. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'appareil comprend un applicateur, un récipient d'alimentation comprenant un volume intérieur, et un ensemble pivotant couplé entre le récipient d'alimentation et l'applicateur. L'ensemble pivotant comprend un premier élément de contact présentant une partie saillante et un premier passage, et un second élément de contact présentant une partie concave et un second passage, la partie saillante venant en contact avec la partie concave de façon amovible, de manière que le volume intérieur du récipient d'alimentation soit en communication fluidique avec l'applicateur par le premier et le second passage.
