## Abstract

A spray gun mounting apparatus having a first reciprocal member and second and third spaced fixed members, whereby spray guns or attachment arms for spray guns may be selectably attached to two of the members.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A spray gun apparatus comprising a first reciprocal member and second and third spaced fixed members, the first, second and third members being parallel to each other, a first spray gun mounted to said first and second members and a second spray gun mounted to said first and third members, and means for causing reciprocal movement of said first member and corresponding arcuate movement of said first and second spray guns, whereby the first and second spray guns have different ranges of arcuate movement due to their mounting.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first member is arranged for reciprocal movement in a vertical plane.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the extend of movement of the first member is variable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spacing between the second member and the first member is variable.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the spacing between the third member and the first member is variable.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the members are mounted on a base having wheels for maneuverability.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, comprising motor means for providing said reciprocal movement.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the motor means is connected to the first member by a linkage permitting variation of the range of reciprocal movement.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the first member is pivotally connected at one end to a pivotable lever, which lever is pivotally connected to an arm and the arm is pivotally connected to an eccentric rotated by the motor means, the position of connection of the arm to the eccentric being variable.

### Claim 10

A spray gun mounting apparatus comprising a base supporting a first member arranged for reciprocal movement in a vertical plane and second and third fixed members laterally spaced from each other and from the first member, a spray gun coupled to the first and second members for a first extent of arcuate movement and a spray gun coupled to the first and third members for a second different, extent of arcuate movement, said arcuate movements being in response to the reciprocal movement of the first member.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The spray gun apparatus of claim 10, having a spray gun coupled to the second and third members.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The spray gun apparatus of claim 10, having a spray gun coupled to the first member only.
