[0003]Paint sprayers are known within the art to provide quick and efficient painting of large areas. Sprayers come in different sizes and shapes, and may be fed directly from paint can or five gallon buckets. One of the problems with the prior art is that paint sprayers need to be refilled frequently. This can take a lot of time and be inconvenient. For example, a painter may be spraying the outside of a house three floors up. It is inconvenient to constantly be refilling a sprayer. Because of this, sprayers may have a feeder arm that draws the paint through a filter. However, one of the problems with the feeder is that when the paint gets to a low point, the air will clog the filter and / or cause a backlog. Also, there is remaining paint that is unusable without tilting or pouring out the paint. The present invention would reduce the amount of paint that would remain, would eliminate the need for a helper or assistant to refill the container or pour paint, would reduce clogs and / or blockage. Also, the device would allow the user to more thoroughly mix the liquid material or paint.
