Abstract
Light weight fluid and compressed air supply hoses are attached to a hand held paint spray gun. The heavier air hose is attached through a swivel fitting to permit the gun to rotate relative to the air hose. One or more generally e-shaped clips secured along the air hose retain the smaller fluid hose next to the air hose, while permitting the fluid hose to move in an axial direction relative to the air hose without kinking as the spray gun is manipulated during use. The light weight fluid hose is attached through fittings to a heavier fluid supply hose. An S-shaped clip supports the fluid hose fitting from the air hose to relieve stress on the end of the light weight fluid hose.

In combination with a hand held paint spray gun having a handle, an air hose extending from said handle and a fluid hose extending from said handle, at least one first clip secured to said air hose a predetermined distance from said handle, said first clip defining a first loop having an inside diameter larger than an outside diameter of said fluid hose and a second loop engaging said air hose, and wherein said fluid hose is passed through said first clip loop and said air hose is passed through said second clip loop, said first clip retaining said fluid hose next to said air hose without restraining said fluid hose from axial movement through said first loop.
