Abstract
A structurally improved spray gun includes a hollow housing having a hollow handle, an electromagnet in the housing to acturate an oscillating armature which repeatedly impinges a piston in a cylinder to aspirate the paint from a container into the cylinder to spray out to the atmosphere through a nozzle at front of the cylinder. It is characterized in a locking device which is disposed in the housing beneath the cylinder to lock or unlock the cylinder in a rapid and convenient manner.
Claims2
A locking device for a spray gun comprising:
- a hollow housing having a hollow handle, an electromagnet in the housing operated by a pressbutton switch in the handle, an oscillating armature pivoted to a rear side of the electromagnet and actuated by the electromagnet to perform oscillatory actions, an anvil on a rear end of the housing operated by a swing button to move forward and backward for controlling the oscillatory span of the armature, a cylinder integrated with a internally threaded lid disposed into the housing, a container screw fastened to the lid, an out pipe and a return pipe spacedly formed under the cylinder and communicating with the cylinder and the container, a piston inserted into rear end of the cylinder biased by a first spring means, a no-return cork disposed in front end of the cylinder biased by a second spring means, a nozzle screw fastened to the front end of the cylinder, an opening in front end of the housing integrated with a receiving groove and a rectangular groove therein, said rectangular groove positioned at a lateral side of the opening, a post on an inner surface of a side wall of the housing, a thru hole in a side wall of the housing opposite to the post and a positioning guide formed on an inner surface of the side wall of the housing beside the thru hole;
- said cylinder further having a pair of first and second stop blocks spacedly formed on an outer periphery toward the post defined a gap therebetween and with the second stop block having a beveled surface;
- a locking device of inverse U-shaped section disposed into the housing under the cylinder having a first lateral portion including an aperture in an outer surface for engaging with a third spring means which has an outer end disposed on the post and a second lateral portion including a pressbutton disposed into the thru hole opposite to the third spring means;
- said first lateral portion of said U-shaped locking device being engageable into the gap when the cylinder is sliding in place into the housing.
