## Abstract

A spray gun, including a gun body, a handle attached to the gun body, a fluid passageway, a handle switch, and a buckle. The fluid passageway is disposed in the gun body and the handle. The handle switch is movably disposed on the handle by a rivet for opening and shutting the fluid passageway. The buckle is movably disposed on the handle via a switch shaft. The spray gun employs the buckle as a locking mechanism that has fewer parts, and therefore costs are reduced and convenience, reliability, and durability improved. The spray gun can be operated with one hand only by swinging it once to open and swinging it again to close. As a result, the performance and quality of the spray gun are improved.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A spray gun, comprising:
a) a gun body;
b) a handle attached to the gun body;
c) a fluid passageway;
d) a handle switch comprising a raised edge;
e) a buckle comprising a lower part and a buckle head; and
f) a pull bar;
wherein:
the fluid passageway is disposed in the gun body and the handle;
the handle switch is movably disposed on the handle by a rivet for opening and shutting the fluid passageway;
the buckle is movably disposed on the handle via a switch shaft;
the handle switch is movable between a first position in which the fluid passageway is open and a second position in which the fluid passageway is closed; and
the pull bar is disposed in the gun body and extends through the gun body, the lower part of the buckle, and the handle switch.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein on the buckle is disposed with a first roll-over stand, which is roughly shaped like a cylinder.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The spray gun of claim 2, wherein the buckle further comprises a second roll-over stand and the second roll-over stand is symmetrical to the first roll over stand.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The spray gun of claim 3, wherein on the first and second roll-over stands are respectively disposed with a through hole.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein the buckle head is roughly shaped like a convex arc.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein on the buckle is disposed with an inclined shoulder, which is roughly shaped like an inclined plane.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein on the buckle is disposed with a buckle tail, which is roughly shaped like a plane.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein on the handle is disposed with switch shaft holes, which are symmetrical with each other and allow the switch shaft to pass through and allow the buckle to be movably disposed therein.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein on the handle is disposed with a buckle holder to hold the buckle when the buckle returns.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The spray gun of claim 1, wherein when in use, as the handle switch moves between the first position and the second position, the handle switch pulls or pushes the pull bar, the pull bar presses the buckle, the buckle rotates about the switch shaft, and the pull bar opens or shuts the fluid passageway.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The spray gun of claim 10, wherein:
when the handle switch is in the second position and is pressed by a user, the handle switch moves toward the first position, the handle switch pulls the pull bar, the pull bar presses the buckle, the buckle rotates about the switch shaft until the raised edge is clamped by the buckle head, the handle switch is retained in the first position, and the pull bar opens the fluid passageway; and
when the handle switch is in the first position and is pressed by a user, the handle switch moves toward the second position, the handle switch pushes the pull bar, the pull bar presses the buckle, the raised edge is unclamped from the buckle head, and the pull bar shuts the fluid passageway.
