Abstract:
A spray nozzle system for skin treatments includes separate air outlets moving over the skin surface to deliver one or more streams of supplemental air for the purpose of warming or drying the skin surface to improve efficacy and comfort of the spraying experience. The drying air from the auxiliary ports may be applied while spray is emitted from the nozzle to increase the spray cloud temperature, or may be applied before or after the spray application, with the spray turned off, to warm or dry the skin. A heating source is provided to warm the air directed through one or more heated air ports. In the case of air-atomizing nozzles, the heated air is delivered through low pressure ports separately from the air emitted through the nozzle's higher pressure atomizing and pattern shaping orifices to minimize the expansion cooling effect inherent with the spray nozzle ports. In another implementation, the airflow is redirected from the nozzle jets to one or more of the supplemental ports using a control valve which proportions the amount of airflow directed to the main atomizer air jets, the pattern shaping air jets and the supplemental air for drying the skin.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a paint spray gun (1) having a compressed air distribution chamber (8) into which a compressed air feed line (10), a round jet line (6) and a wide jet line (7) open, the quantity of compressed air supplied to the compressed air distribution chamber (8), the round jet line (6) and the wide jet line (7) being adjustable via a setting element arranged in the compressed air distribution chamber (8) and rotatable from outside by an actuating element (15) about an axis of rotation (D) extending through the compressed air distribution chamber (8). Said paint spray gun (1) is characterized in that the setting element is formed as a rotary distributor (14) that is held immovably in the axial direction of the axis of rotation (D) and can be rotated about the axis of rotation (D) in order to open and close openings (6', 7', 10') of the round jet line (6) and/or the wide jet line (7) and/or the compressed air feed line (10).
Abstract:
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine druckluftbetriebene Farbspritzpistole (1) mit einem Gehäuse (2), welches einen Druckluftverteiler (3) aufweist, der an eine Druckluftzuleitung (4) angeschlossen ist und deren Druckluft auf eine Hornluftversorgungsleitung (5) und eine Rundstrahlversorgungsleitung (6) verteilt. Hierbei ist die der Hornluftversorgungsleitung (5) zugeführte Druckluftmenge durch Schraubverstellung eines Kükens (7) einstellbar, dessen endständiges Dichtzäpfchen (8) die Hornluftversorgungsleitung (5) hierbei kontinuierlich öffnet bzw. verschließt. Derartige Farbspritzpistolen haben den Nachteil, daß beim Verschließen der Hornluft der Druck im Rundstrahlbereich über den für Niederdruckpistolen zulässigen Höchstwert von 0,7 bar ansteigt. Die Aufgabe, bei einfacher Ausführung den im Rundstrahlbereich auftretenden Druck auf einen Maximalwert zu begrenzen, wird dadurch gelöst, daß das Küken (7), von seinem Ende her gesehen, nach dem Dichtzäpfchen (8) einen Bereich größeren Durchmessers aufweist, welcher beim Verschließen der Hornluftversorgungsleitung (5) auch den Luftweg zwischen Druckluftzuleitung (4) und Rundstrahlversorgungsleitung (6) kontinuierlich verengt, wodurch der Druck in der Rundstrahlversorgungsleitung (6) auf einen vorgegebenen Maximalwert begrenzt ist.
Abstract:
Spray gas pressure can be set at relatively low middle-low pressure and a good atomization is performed without providing a gas cap with auxiliary gas holes. The spray gun of the invention includes a nozzle portion in which a substantially V-shaped groove is formed in a circular section of a truncated conical front end with a cone angle ranging from 20° to 90°, and an internal hole is opened as a liquid ejecting port by forming the substantially V-shaped groove; and a gas cap including a cap face which is provided with an atomized gas opening portion having an opening diameter larger than the circular section, the gas cap forming a circular slit-like gap between the gas cap and an outer periphery of the truncated conical front end, the gap being configured to eject gas for atomizing liquid. The circular section of the truncated conical front end has a diameter ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.8 mm. The atomized gas opening portion has the opening diameter that is equal to or larger than 1.0 mm and smaller than 3.0 mm. The gas is ejected from the circular slit-like gap at a flow rate ranging from 40 L/min to 160 L/min and an ejection velocity ranging from 100 m/sec to 2900 m/sec, so that the liquid can be atomized without providing the cap face with auxiliary gas ejecting holes for atomizing the liquid.

The sprayhead is permanently secured to the spray gun body, preferably with a swaged ring of stainless steel. The spray gun may be provided with a plastic handle which is preferably formed from polybutylene with 10% of a polyester elastomer. In one embodiment, the sprayhead is oriented relative to the gun body prior to securing to select either gravity feed or suction feed for the sprayed fluid.
Abstract:
A high volume low pressure air spray gun (20) has an atomizing air orifice (76) for atomizing a stream of liquid coating material into a conical spray and opposed side port air orifices (88) for flattening the spray into a fan-shaped pattern. The gun receives air at pressures up to about 100 psi, and an air flow restriction in the form of a venturi (110) is in an air supply passage in the gun barrel. A valve stem (54) for controlling the flow rate of air to the side port orifices (88) extends through the venturi (110), and is configured to vary the venturi air flow area in response to changes in the flow rate of air to the side port orifices. When the valve stem (54) is positioned for maximum air flow to the side port orifices (88), it establishes a maximum air flow area through the venturi (110) , such that a high pressure of air at the gun air inlet, after flowing through the venturi, results in a high volume low pressure air flow at the atomizing and side port orifices (88). When the valve stem (54) is positioned to reduce air flow to the side port orifices (88), it correspondingly reduces the flow area through the venturi (110) to maintain the pressure of air at the atomizing orifice below a selected maximum value. The gun may carry a paint cup (124), in which case the cup is pressurized by air downstream from the venturi to prevent overpressurization of the cup.
