Abstract
A system includes a gravity-feed spray coating device having a body with a liquid inlet, a handle coupled to the body, a spray head coupled to the body, a liquid passage extending from the liquid inlet to the spray head, and a gravity-feed container fastener disposed adjacent the liquid inlet. The gravity-feed container fastener includes a non-compression container fastening mechanism. The system also includes a first gravity-feed liquid supply container having a liquid outlet and a compression fitting adapter, wherein the compression fitting adapter compression fits the liquid outlet to the liquid inlet without the non-compression container fastening mechanism.
Claims40
A system comprising:
- a gravity-feed spray coating device comprising:
- a body comprising a liquid inlet;
- a handle coupled to the body;
- a spray head coupled to the body;
- a liquid passage extending from the liquid inlet to the spray head;
- and
- a multi-surface container fastener comprising a first end portion coupled to the liquid inlet, wherein the multi-surface container fastener comprises a second end portion having both an inner surface comprising a first compression surface and an outer surface comprising a first non-compression surface, the multi-surface container fastener is configured to selectively couple to a first gravity-feed liquid supply container in a first mounting configuration via the first compression surface configured to provide compression in a radial direction relative to an axis of the multi-surface container fastener, the multi-surface container fastener is configured to selectively couple to a second gravity-feed liquid supply container in a second mounting configuration via the first non-compression surface, and the first and second mounting configurations are different from one another wherein the multi-surface container fastener comprises an abutment surface formed in an outer radial surface of the multi-surface container fastener, and the abutment surface extends in a radial direction and is disposed axially between the first end portion and the second end portion relative to the axis.

A system, comprising:
- a first gravity-feed liquid supply container comprising a liquid outlet having a compression fitting adapter configured to compression fit to a multi-surface container fastener of a gravity-feed spray coating device, wherein the multi-surface container fastener comprises both an inner surface comprising a first compression surface and an outer surface comprising a first non-compression surface, the multi-surface container fastener is configured to selectively couple to the first gravity-feed liquid supply container in a first mounting configuration via the first compression surface configured to provide compression in a radial direction relative to an axis of the multi-surface container fastener, the multi-surface container fastener is configured to selectively couple to a second gravity-feed liquid supply container in a second mounting configuration via the first non-compression surface, and the first and second mounting configurations are different from one another, wherein the compression fitting adapter comprises a tubular portion that is integrally formed with a tapered portion of the compression fitting adapter.
A system, comprising:
- a first gravity-feed liquid supply container, comprising:
- a cup portion;
- a liquid outlet in the cup portion;
- and
- a compression fitting adapter, comprising:
- a tubular portion disposed about the liquid outlet, wherein the tubular portion is integrally formed with and extends from the cup portion, and the tubular portion comprises a smooth annular outer surface comprising a compression surface configured to compression fit inside a bore in a liquid inlet fitting of a gravity-feed spray coating device;
- and
- a stabilizing sleeve portion disposed about the tubular portion, wherein the stabilizing sleeve portion is integrally formed with and extends from the cup portion, and the stabilizing sleeve is configured to extend around and contact the liquid inlet fitting along a first non-compression surface of the liquid inlet fitting to block lateral movement of the first gravity-feed liquid supply container relative to the liquid inlet fitting and the gravity-feed spray coating device.
5 more elements
