Abstract:
An air-assisted sprayer comprises a platform, an air reservoir, a fluid reservoir, a spray cap and a dual flow valve. The air reservoir extends through the platform and is configured to receive a source of pressurized air. The fluid reservoir extends through the platform to intersect the air reservoir, and is configured to receive a source of pressurized fluid. The spray cap is configured to receive pressurized air from the air reservoir and pressurized fluid from the fluid reservoir to discharge a stream of atomized fluid from the platform. The dual flow valve is positioned within the platform to intersect the air reservoir and the fluid reservoir to simultaneously vary volumetric flow rates of the pressurized air and the pressurized fluid over a range.

Abstract:
An air-assisted sprayer comprises a platform, a fluid cup, an air reservoir, a spray cap, a pressure line, a fluid reservoir and a poppet valve. The fluid cup is connected to the platform to hold a volume of fluid. The air reservoir extends through the platform and is configured to receive pressurized air. The spray cap is connected to the platform to receive pressurized air from the air reservoir. The pressure line connects the air reservoir with the fluid cup to pressurize the volume of fluid. The fluid reservoir extends from the fluid cup to the platform to provide pressurized fluid to the spray cap. The poppet valve is in fluid communication with the pressure line between the volume of fluid and the air reservoir to prevent fluid from entering the air reservoir.
