Definitions

  • Spray guns of the type mentioned are known in the art in a variety of configurations.
  • the spraying method used is usually the low-pressure spraying method, which is a method in which sprayed material sprays at a low pressure of about 0.2 to about 0.5 bar and with a high volume of air at about 200 liters per minute becomes.
  • This HVLP spraying process achieves a low overspray, i. because of its low spray losses, coating levels up to about 65% and is thus superior to conventional processes that achieve coating levels between about 20 and about 35%.
  • Characteristic of the method is the air surrounding the spray material, which reduces overspray and color fog. This results in advantages such as paint savings and low solvent emissions, which have a particularly environmentally friendly effect.
  • a shelf is usually provided, which is often formed by the bottom of a spray gun held on the spray container.
  • the bottom of the spray material receptacle does not suffice as a storage surface in order to be able to reliably prevent overturning and concomitant soiling and / or damage to the spray gun.
  • spray guns have been proposed in which the length of the handle of the spray gun is adjusted to the height of a spray gun arranged on the spray container so that the bottom of the container and the bottom of the handle together form a storage area for stopping the spray gun. In this way, the stability of the spray gun could be greatly improved.
  • the extension element is received in an open to the free end of the handle cavity of the handle. Accordingly, the extension member does not take up extra space and does not affect the external appearance of the spray gun. If necessary, the extension element can be pulled out of the handle to adjust the length of the handle to the height of a Spritzgut disposers.
  • the extension device advantageously comprises a locking device by means of which the extension element can be locked in several positions.
  • the positions which can be locked by means of the locking device are defined positions.
  • the locking device preferably includes at least two toothed components adapted to be selectively engageable with and disengaged from each other and defining the plurality of positions, wherein the locking occurs in the engaged state of the components.
  • the geometry of the teeth of the toothed components, their pitch and the number of mutually corresponding teeth determine the plurality of positions.
  • the biasing force of the at least one spring element is chosen so large according to a variant that the locked position of the extension element when stopping the spray gun is maintained, and chosen so small that the locking of the extension element by manual force on the extension element can be overcome.
  • the biasing force of the at least one spring element can be overcome by manually applying a tensile or compressive force to the extension element.
  • the extension element unintentionally moved from the user-selected locked position when the spray gun is parked on a substrate.
  • At least one of the toothed components is operatively connected to an actuating mechanism which is designed such that the inlet Grips state of the toothed components is released in its operation against the biasing force of the spring element.
  • the locked position selected by the user can only be canceled by operating the actuating mechanism by the user.
  • the actuating mechanism has a lever arranged to reduce the force required to release the engaged state of the toothed components. Accordingly, force for actuating the operating mechanism is reduced and the handling of the spray gun is improved.
  • the actuating mechanism has an actuating element arranged on the handle and accessible from the outside, such as a push button or the like, so that the user can conveniently operate the actuating mechanism.
  • the locking device is such that positions of the extension element are infinitely lockable.
  • the lock produced by the locking device is preferably non-positively.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a spray gun according to a first embodiment of the present invention in a first state
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the spray gun shown in FIG. 1 in a second condition
