According to the invention, there is provided a washing gun for instance for use with a high-pressure washer, where the washing gun essentially comprises a handgrip section (1) comprising a suitable trigger mechanism (12, 13) and furthermore comprising an inlet portion (3) for the washing fluid and a nozzle section (4) between which inlet portion (3) and nozzle section (4) there is provided a suitable valve contained in a valve house (2). The inlet portion (3) is coupled to the valve house (2) and the handgrip section (1) in such a manner that it can rotate 360 degrees about the longitudinal axis (X) through the valve house (2) and nozzle section (4). By these means it is thus possible during use of the washing gun to position the hose providing washing fluid to the fluid inlet (5) in the inlet portion (3) in an optimal manner relative to the user of the washing gun and to the object being treated. According to the invention there is furthermore as an option provided retainment means for locking the inlet (5) at certain predetermined angular orientations about the longitudinal axis (X) or for providing a break function impeding the rotation of the inlet (5) about the longitudinal axis (X).
A washing gun comprising a handgrip section (1) and a valve house (2) provided with an inlet portion (3) comprising an inlet (5) for washing fluid and a nozzle section (4) placed coaxially with said valve house (2), where said valve house (2) is rotatably connected to said handgrip section (1) for rotation about a longitudinal axis (X) through the valve house (2) in such a manner that said inlet (5) during use of the washing gun can change its angular orientation over the total 360 degrees of rotation about the longitudinal axis.
A washing gun according to any of the preceding claims, where said valve house (2) is formed as a cylindrical body with said longitudinal axis (X), where a first longitudinal end of said valve house (2) is inserted in the handgrip section (1) through a cylindrical opening (6) in a first part (1′) of the handgrip section (1), the diameter of which cylindrical opening (6) corresponds to the outer diameter of said valve house (2), whereby the valve house (2) can rotate about said longitudinal axis (X) relative to the handgrip section (1).
A washing gun according to any preceding claim, where said valve house (2) at the longitudinal end hereof which is inserted into the handgrip section (1) is provided with means (10) co-operating with a trigger mechanism (12,13).
A washing gun according to any preceding claim, where said nozzle section (4) is attached to a second longitudinal end of said valve house (2) facing away from said handgrip (1).
