Fluid valve stem for air spray gun

摘要

An improved fluid valve stem for an air spray gun has a triangular-shaped forward end extended into a cylindrical fluid outlet passage of a fluid nozzle. The triangular-shaped forward end forms liquid coating material flowing therepast into a hollow cylindrical stream that is emitted from the fluid nozzle and pneumatically atomized into a spray. The hollow stream of coating material is considerably easier to atomize than is a solid stream, so with the result that effective atomization is achieved at low air pressures and volumes for improved transfer efficiency.
