20110198413 | PORTABLE AIRLESS SPRAYER - A handheld airless fluid dispensing device comprises a pump, a drive element and an orifice element. The pump directly pressurizes a fluid. The drive element supplies power to the pump. The orifice element is connected to the pump and atomizes un-thinned architectural coating to a particle size of no greater than approximately 150 microns. The pump generates orifice pressures up to approximately 2.48 MPa and the orifice has an area of approximately 18.7 mm2. In one embodiment, the pump, drive element and orifice element are integrated into a handheld housing. In one embodiment, the pump comprises a reciprocating piston fluid pump comprising at least two pumping chambers configured to be actuated out of phase by at least one piston. In another embodiment, the reciprocating piston fluid pump comprises two pistons having different displacements that are linearly actuated by a wobble assembly driven by a gear reducer and an electric motor. | 08-18-2011 |

20130206856 | PORTABLE AIRLESS SPRAYER - A portable airless sprayer comprises a housing, a motor, a pump, a spray tip and a trigger. The motor is mounted to the housing. The pump is mounted to the housing and is driven by the motor. The spray tip assembly receives pressurized fluid from the pump. The trigger is configured to actuate the spray tip assembly and activate the motor. A method of operating a portable airless sprayer comprises moving a lever over a stroke, displacing a valve pin, and activating a motor. The valve pin is displaced with the lever to actuate a spray valve. The motor is activated with the lever to drive a pump that provides fluid to the spray valve. | 08-15-2013 |
20130206867 | PORTABLE AIRLESS SPRAYER - An airless spray tip comprises a body, a barrel and a needle. The body has an axial fluid passage, and a tip bore extending transversely through the axial fluid passage. The barrel extends into the tip bore and includes a tip passage fluidly connected to the axial fluid passage. The needle is disposed in the axial fluid passage to engage the tip passage. An airless spray tip comprises a barrel, a fluid passage, a spray orifice and a tip seat. The barrel extends in an axial direction. The fluid passage extends through the barrel transverse to the axial direction. The spray orifice is disposed in the fluid passage. The tip seat is disposed in the fluid passage. | 08-15-2013 |
20130240641 | ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONTROL AND ISOLATION SYSTEM FOR SPRAYING SYSTEMS - A fluid dispensing device includes an electrostatic discharge protection system. Accumulation and discharge of electrostatic energy created by operation of the device is reduced or prevented by the electrostatic discharge protection system without an earth ground connection. The electrostatic discharge protection system may include a number of features, such as a static wick, non-conductive components that electrically isolate the spray tip of the device, nonconductive isolation barriers, nonconductive fluid reservoir and suction tube components, a nonconductive coating of a control valve component, and a nonconductive spring retainer of the control valve. | 09-19-2013 |
20130256426 | CONTROL VALVE FOR AIRLESS SPRAYER PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT - A control valve for a fluid dispensing device comprises a valve stem, a valve body, a cap and an adjustment mechanism. The elongate valve stem has a flange. The valve body comprises a valve bore in which the elongate valve stem is configured to translate, and a flow path intersecting the valve bore and into which the valve stem penetrates. The cap is joined to the valve body to receive the valve stem such that the flange is positioned between the valve body and the cap. The adjustment mechanism changes a position of the cap with respect to the valve body to vary a distance between the cap and the flange which adjusts the force, and thereby the pressure at which the valve opens. | 10-03-2013 |
20130277455 | PORTABLE AIRLESS SPRAYER - A sprayer attachment for a hand-supported power tool comprises a motion converting mechanism, a pumping mechanism, a spray assembly and a housing. The motion converting mechanism has an input shaft. The pumping mechanism is driven by the motion converting mechanism. The spray assembly is fluidly coupled to the pumping mechanism. The housing assembly couples the motion converting mechanism, the pumping mechanism and the spray assembly. The sprayer attachment may further comprise an anti-rotation bracket extending from the housing. The sprayer attachment may further be coupled to a handheld power tool, such as a cordless drill or a reciprocating saw, with the anti-rotation bracket. | 10-24-2013 |
