Abstract
A device for mounting and controlling a paint spray gun, caulking gun, or similar device on an elongate extension member in order to work on high or hard to reach surfaces without a ladder or scaffold. The device includes a head to which a standard gun can be releasably attached, a pivot adjustment to point the gun in the desired direction, and a trigger cam and strap to move the gun trigger, and a trigger pole rotated by the hand of the operator and connected to the trigger cam. The device allows for fine adjustment of the gun trigger and counteracts the gun kickback when it sprays, thus producing uniform paint spraying.

A device for mounting and controlling an application device with a trigger mechanism, comprising:
- (a) a head to which the application device is removably attached by a retainer means;
- (b) a base pivotably attached to said head by an adjustable pivot means;
- (c) a trigger cam rotatably attached to the head;
- (d) a trigger strap positioned to pull on the trigger of the application device and attached by an attachment means to the curved perimeter of the trigger cam;
- (e) a trigger pole operatively connected to the trigger cam;
- and
- (f) whereby the rotation of said trigger pole and trigger cam causes the trigger pull strap to pull the trigger mechanism.
A device for mounting and controlling an application device with a trigger mechanism, comprising:
- (a) a head with a cradle to which the application device is attached by a retainer strap;
- (b) a base pivotably attached to said head by a wing nut and screw;
- (c) a rotating trigger cam rotatably mounted to the head;
- (d) a trigger pull strap attached at one end to the trigger cam and the other end attached to the head such that when rotated the trigger cam will pull the tripper pull strap and this will pull the trigger of the application device attached to the head;
- and
- (e) a trigger pole operatively connected to the trigger cam and capable of rotating the trigger cam in order to operate the trigger of the application device.
