Multiple nozzle tip assembly for airless paint sprayer gun

A spray tip assembly for an airless paint sprayer gun, said tip comprising:

• a housing sealably mountable to the output barrel of the gun, said housing having an aperture axially aligned with the output barrel and a cylindrical bore intersecting the aperture perpendicularly to an intended direction of spray output, said bore equipped with multiple semi-annular indexing channels spaced apart along the axis of the bore, each of said channels interconnected by a tab-receiving slot;
• a generally cylindrical tip shaft incorporating multiple spaced-apart nozzles, each of which is usable independently of the other, said tip shaft being slidably insertable and axially rotatable within said bore;
• a handle rigidly affixed to one end of the tip shaft, said handle facilitating both the slidable positioning of the shaft and the rotation of thereof to reverse the direction of each nozzle within the spray tip assembly so that, if necessary, it may be unclogged, said handle also indicating whether the nozzle is pointed forward for spraying, or is reversed;
• and
• a rotational stop and Index tab spaced away from the handle and rigidly affixed to the tip shaft, said tab insertable through said slot and indexable within any of the semi-annular indexing channels, the positioning of the tab within a single channel being associated with the positioning of a single nozzle for use in both normal and reversed directions, said stop and index tab permitting the shaft to be reversibly and axially rotated through no more than one-half of a full revolution.

• and
• engaging means incorporated within the tip shaft, said engaging means engaging said indexing means to axially position a single nozzle in both normal and reversed directions, said engaging means also providing for axial rotation of the shaft between normal and reversed nozzle directions.
