Traveling outside side-striping spray gun

摘要

This disclosure relates to a spray gun, particularly one for applying a very thin, narrow side stripe to can bodies and other members. The spray gun basically includes a housing which has incorporated therein a reservoir to provide an immediately available supply of striping material. A spray orifice opens directly out of the reservoir and flow therethrough is controlled by a valve member which is mounted on a shaft for rocking movement therewith. The valve member is slidably mounted on the shaft and is preferably spring loaded against the housing so as to retain the same in tight contact therewith to maintain the seal between the housing and the orifice.
