Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid spray gun with several improved features, including (1) non-cylindrical air passageways on air horns included in an air cap portion of a body assembly that provide improved shape and uniformity for the wide elongate stream of liquid formed by the spray gun; (2) the air cap portion of the body assembly being mounted for manual rotation on a nozzle portion of the body assembly between positions defined by stops and retained at those positions by friction; and (3) the body assembly through which passes liquid sprayed by the spray gun being molded of polymeric material and being manually releasable from a metal platform portion of the spray gun through which air is fed to passageways through the body assembly to spray the liquid.

Abstract:
An air cap for a paint spray gun has air venting passages to relieve back pressure to an air source when the air flow through shaping passages for controlling the shape of the atomized paint spray pattern is blocked and also has a plurality of inwardly directed centering flanges for concentrically aligning the air cap on an associated paint spray nozzle.
