Abstract
A suction hose and filter apparatus for retaining an elongated flexible hose and paint filter to a remote container for use with a hand-held paint spray gun, the apparatus including a clip for holding the apparatus to a rim of a paint container, a guide integrally formed with the clip and positioned to extend from the rim into the interior of the paint container for submerging a distal end of the flexible hose and paint filter into a bottom region of the paint container, wherein the guide includes a pair of longitudinally extending ribs and a plurality of cross members forming a passageway for retaining and restraining the hose against the tendency of the hose to recoil via its memory and move the paint filter away from the bottom region of the paint container.
Claims11
An improved suction hose and filter holder apparatus for use with a flexible hose and paint filter for drawing paint from a container remote from a hand-held paint spray gun, the apparatus comprising:
- a) a clip for holding the apparatus to a rim of the paint container;
- b) a guide integrally formed with the clip and positioned relative to the clip so as to extend from the rim into an interior of the paint container when the apparatus is connected to the paint container
- wherein the guide is adapted to submerge and directly and rigidly contact and restrain an end of the flexible hose in a bottom region of the paint container such that the hose is restrained from curling away from the bottom of the container in response to a memory of the hose from being curled in storage when the hose is received in the guide of the improved suction hose and filter holder apparatus and the apparatus is clipped to the paint container.
