NOZZLE CLOSURE DEVICE FOR A PAINT SPRAYER

摘要

A nozzle assembly for use with a paint sprayer that includes a reservoir configured to store a supply of liquid and a pump operable to draw liquid from the reservoir. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle configured to receive liquid under pressure from the pump and operable to spray the liquid onto a surface, and a nozzle closure device that is movable between an open position, in which liquid is sprayed out of the nozzle generally unimpinged, and a closed position, in which the nozzle closure device covers the nozzle. The nozzle closure device is moved from the closed position to the open position by a force other than the liquid under pressure from the pump.
