Abstract
A dual-headed paint spray wand with a central feed tube split into two arms, where the arms are separated at a distance from one another to permit a paint overlap when paint is sprayed from the two arms, and where the two arms are offset from one another vertically to allow one arm to spray ahead of the other.
Claims14
A dual-headed paint spray wand having a length and width and a central feed tube having a central longitudinal axis, where the central feed tube is split into two arms, where the entire length of each of the two arms are rigid and non-articulated and extend from a solid t-shaped manifold on a downstream end of the central longitudinal axis of the central feed tube, and where each arm has a spray end and where the spray end includes threading for coupling to a spray head capable of spraying paint and producing a paint fan when in use, where the spray ends of the two arms are separated at a predetermined distance from one another along the length of the dual-headed paint spray wand, with one arm positioned on each side of the central feed tube to permit the paint fan produced by the spray ends of the two arms when in use to overlap, and where the two arms are angled upward in directionally opposing fixed relationship to one another where one of the two arms is angled upward and forward and the other of the two arms is angled upward and rearward relative to one another such that the two spray heads are also vertically offset from one another to produce two paint spray fans that overlap one another, but that do not collide with one another by producing paint spray fans that spray in different parallel planes.
A method for painting a surface, the method including the step of providing a dual paint spray wand that includes two arms extending from a central feed tube having a central longitudinal axis, where the entire length of each arm is rigid non-articulated and is fixedly attached to the central feed tube and extends from the central longitudinal axis of the central feed tube, where each the two arms having a corresponding spray head which are horizontally aligned when in the upright position and produce paint spray fans of predetermined sizes and that are separated from one another by a distance that is less than a total of the fan sizes produced by the horizontally aligned spray heads;
- and where the two arms are angled upward in directionally opposing fixed relationship to one another where one arm is angled upward and forward and the other arm is angled upward and rearward relative to one another such that the two horizontally aligned spray heads are also vertically offset from one another to produce two paint spray fans that overlap one another, but that do not collide with one another by producing paint spray fans that spray in different parallel planes.
A dual-headed paint spray wand for connecting to a paint sprayer, where the spray wand has-a length and width and a central feed tube having a central longitudinal axis for receiving paint from a paint sprayer, where the central feed tube is split into two arms each having a spray end where the two arms are separated at a predetermined distance from one another, where the entire length of each arm is rigid, non-articulated, and is fixedly attached to the central longitudinal axis of the central feed tube with one arm positioned on each side of the central feed tube and where the two arms are angled upward and in opposing fixed relationship to one another, such that one arm is angled upward and forward and the other is angled upward and rearward relative to one another such that the two spray ends are also vertically offset from one another to produce two paint spray fans that overlap one another, but that do not collide with one another by producing paint spray fans that spray in different parallel planes.
