Embodiment Construction

[0009] Users of liquid applicators may experience fatigue during spray application. Fatigue can lead to inconsistencies in liquid application, such as streaks in paint coats. Accordingly, there is a need for an applicator that relieves or reduces the tension or irritation experienced, particularly by the hands and / or arms, during application.

[0010] For example, when the paint is applied steadily, a more uniform paint coating can be achieved, which is difficult to achieve when the user experiences fatigue. Fatigue can include soreness, pain, or weakness in the hand or arm, any of which can lead to inconsistencies in fluid application. Users may find that having to hold the handle for extended periods of time may cause their hands or arms to tire. When experiencing fatigue, the user can actuate one or more adjustment mechanisms by increasing the distance between the grip and the frame. The increased distance can reduce the fatigue experienced by the user.

Abstract

An applicator (100) is presented. The applicator includes a fluid channel (150) extending from a fluid inlet (130) to a fluid outlet (140). The applicator also includes a trigger (124). The trigger (124) is configured to allow fluid to flow through the fluid channel (150) when it is actuated. The applicator (100) also includes an adjustable handle (102) having a frame (104). The handle (102) includes a finger rest (122) on a first side of the frame (104). The handle (102) also includes a grip (106) on a second side of the frame (104). The second side is opposite the first side. The grip (106) is coupled to the frame (104) via an adjustment mechanism (112) configured to vary the finger rest (122) and The distance between the gripping parts (106).

Description

Background technique [0001] A liquid dispensing system may be used to atomize and apply fluid, eg, retrieved from a storage unit and applied to a desired surface. Liquid dispensing systems typically include an applicator configured to apply a desired fluid (eg, paint) to a surface. For example, when using a paint applicator, an operator may apply pressure to a trigger to actuate a pressurized stream of paint. However, the user's hands may be strained or irritated during application. [0002] When using a paint applicator for an extended period of time, the user's hands and arms can become fatigued. This fatigue can lead to inconsistent coatings of the paint as it is applied to the surface. Contents of the invention [0003] An applicator is presented. The applicator includes a fluid channel extending from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet. The applicator also includes a trigger. The trigger is configured to allow fluid to flow through the fluid channel when it is actuate...
