Abstract: Vent assemblies for reservoirs and other closed systems. The vent assemblies include one or more apertures in a wall of the reservoir. A closure member is retained on the external surface of the reservoir by a closure member retainer and includes a first component and a second component, the second component is relatively conformable compared to the first component. The second component is positioned between the first component and the wall of the reservoir. A sealing surface is located on either the first component or the second component, where the sealing surface closes the aperture when the closure member is in an unvented position, and the sealing surface does not close the aperture when the closure member is in a vented position.

Abstract: Provided are devices for coating a contoured surface or a three-dimensional structure, and methods of making and using the same. The devices have geometries that are in point contact with the contoured surface. The geometries are substantially rigid and are provided by a flexible applicator. In this way, the flexible applicator permits conformance to the surface contours, along with rigid point contact that provides uniform and consistent coverage of liquid material. Specifically, the devices comprise a handle and an applicator pliantly affixed to the handle, the applicator comprising a plurality of spaced geometries. The devices meter film-forming coating liquids onto contoured surfaces or three-dimensional structures to form uniform coatings and resulting uniform films.

Abstract: A spray gun reservoir including a cup, a lid, and a filter. The cup defines an internal containment volume. The lid defines an outlet. The filter is disposed between the containment volume and the outlet such that liquid flow from the containment volume to the outlet interfaces with the filter. The filter includes a knitted fabric filter media. The knitted fabric filter media can include filaments knitted in a pattern defining a plurality of pores, and is formed, at least in part, by warp knitting or weft knitting. At least some of the pore can be non-square in shape, including a triangular shape. The pores can be distributed across the knitted fabric filter media in a controlled, non-random manner. The knitted fabric filter media can include first and second layers of knitted fabric arranged to define a depth filter.

Abstract: Provided are cover assemblies (102) for use with a paint or toner container (106) located on a mixing rack. Using these cover assemblies facilitates moving liquid from the container without reliance on gravity. The cover assemblies comprise: a lid (112) having an upper surface (114) and a lower surface (116); an agitation drive shaft (105) mounted through an aperture in the lid having at least one stirrer (118) affixed thereto; and a fluid conduit (120) having an inlet (132) and being in fluid communication with a discharge opening (107). Fluid can be pumped through a fluid path or can be moved pneumatically.

Abstract: A spray gun and a detachable liquid reservoir releasably attached to the spray gun by engagement of mateable, non-threaded formations provided on the spray gun and the reservoir. The spray gun has an integral connector boss with a socket for reception of a connector tube of the reservoir. The boss has an external flange at the distal end and the reservoir has hook members separate from the connector tube. The hook members are co-operable with the flange when the connector tube is received in the socket to secure releasably the reservoir to the spray gun. In another arrangement, the connector tube is an interference friction-fit in the socket to secure releasably the reservoir to the spray gun. In yet another arrangement, the connector tube has bayonet lugs co-operable with bayonet grooves in the wall of the socket when the connector tube is received in the socket to secure releasably the reservoir to the spray gun. In a still further arrangement, the reservoir has an integral spout received in the socket integral with the spray gun and provided with a helical projection co-operable with the underside of a radial lug externally of the socket to secure the reservoir.
Abstract translation: 喷枪和可拆卸的液体储存器,其通过设置在喷枪和储存器上的可配合的无螺纹结构的接合而可释放地附接到喷枪。 喷枪具有一个整体的连接器凸台,其具有用于容纳储存器的连接管的插座。 凸台在远端具有外部凸缘,并且储存器具有与连接器管分离的钩形构件。 当连接器管被容纳在插座中时,钩构件可与凸缘共同操作,以将容器可释放地固定到喷枪上。 在另一种布置中,连接管是在插座中的干涉摩擦配合,以将储存器可释放地固定到喷枪。 在另一种布置中,当连接器管被容纳在插座中时,连接器管具有可与插座壁中的卡口槽共同操作的卡口耳环,以将储存器可释放地固定到喷枪上。 在另外的布置中,储存器具有收纳在与喷枪一体的插座中的整体喷口,并且设置有与插座外部的径向凸耳的下侧可共同操作的螺旋突起,以固定储存器。

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a spray gun cup receptacle that includes an open end for receiving a liner within a cavity and a base end opposite the open end. The base end is positionable such that a base plane passing through the base end is parallel to the work surface. The sidewall of the receptacle includes one or more apertures through which the cavity is visible, and a tactile feedback member is positioned directly adjacent one of the apertures.

Abstract: Spray gun reservoir components are disclosed. The spray gun reservoir component includes a liquid outlet and an outer face, and defines a centerline plane and an attachment plane. The liquid outlet surrounds a longitudinal axis. The outer face extends away from the liquid outlet. The centerline plane passes through the longitudinal axis. The attachment plane is defined orthogonally to the longitudinal axis and the centerline plane. The outer face further comprises a retention feature extending away from the centerline plane and generally parallel to the attachment plane. In some embodiments, the spray gun reservoir component further comprises a bearing surface formed on the outer face along the attachment plane to engage with a corresponding bearing surface on a liquid spray gun attachment point, with the bearing surface comprising the retention feature.

Abstract: A spray gun cup receptacle is disclosed comprising an open end for receiving a liner within a cavity and a base end opposite the open end. The sidewall comprises two apertures through which the cavity is visible from outside the spray gun cup receptacle. The two apertures are divided one above the other by a brace member, at least a portion of which is disposed at a brace member angle a relative to the base plane. Also disclosed are improved lids for spray gun cups, and improved connections between the lid(s) and spray gun cup receptacles.
