Claims15
A liquid applicator comprising:
- a head assembly with an outlet;
- a handle rotatably couplable to the head assembly by rotating the handle about a rotation axis, the handle having an inlet configured to receive a fluid from a fluid source, wherein a fluid path extends through the liquid applicator from the inlet to the outlet;
- a trigger coupled to the head assembly that, when actuated, allows a fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet;
- and
- a support configured to receive a portion of the handle, the support comprising a ledge portion;
- and
- an alignment feature comprising:
- a projection on one of the head assembly or the support, and
- a recess formed on the other one of the head assembly or the support, wherein, during coupling of the handle to the head assembly, the handle is configured to rotate independent of the support and the recess is configured to engage the projection to prevent rotation of the support about the rotation axis to maintain the support in a fixed alignment position relative to the head assembly in which the ledge portion:
- is located between the handle and the trigger, and extends toward the trigger.
