Abstract
A paint spray gun is locked into a receptacle at the free end of a tubular arm pivoted at one end of an elongated tubular stock. The spray gun trigger is engaged by an operating finger, spring-biased toward the `off` position, which is operated by means of a sheathed, flexible cable through an operating lever mounted at the end of the stock farthest from spray gun receptacle. The relative angular position of the receptacle-bearing arm and the stock is adjustable. A quick-release receptacle is provided to permit the removal and reassembly of the spray gun to the extension arm with facility.
Claims7
An extension arm for a spray painting device having a grip comprising:
- an elongated stock, incorporating a pivotably mounted operating lever near one end thereof;
- a locking receptacle attached to the other end of said stock, for receiving the spray device grip, said receptacle being defined by a stationary plate and a pivotable plate.
- adjusting means for changing and securing angular relationship between said stock and said receptacle;
- and
- actuating means, including a projecting finger for engaging the control trigger of a paint spraying device received in said receptacle, spring means biasing said finger into the inoperative position of said control trigger, and sheathed, flexible cable means operably interconnecting said finger and said operating lever,
- whereby manually induced displacement of the operating lever is transmitted by said cable means to said finger and causes said control trigger to displace into the operative position, thereby initiating paint spray dispensing action of the paint spraying device.
An extension arm for spray painting devices, comprising:
- an elongated stock, incorporating a pivotably mounted operating lever near one end thereof,
- a hinged, locking receptacle for painting spraying devices, pivotably attached to the other end of said stock,
- said receptacle including a swing arm pivoted on said stock, a faceplate projecting laterally from said swing arm, and a retainer clip pivotable on said swing arm toward said faceplate, whereby the grip of said spray painting device may be entrapped between said faceplate, said swing arm and said retainer clip,
- adjusting means for changing and securing angular relationship between said stock and said receptacle, and
- actuating means, including a projecting finger for engaging the control trigger of a paint spraying device received in said receptacle, spring means biasing said finger into the inoperative position of said control trigger, and sheathed, flexible cable means operably interconnecting said finger and said operating lever,
- whereby manually induced displacement of the operating lever is transmitted by said cable means to said finger and causes said control trigger to displace into the operative position, thereby initiating paint spray dispensing action of the paint spraying device.
