Paint Gun Holder Assembly with Trigger Actuation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holder devices for paint guns do not effectively allow for adjustable reach and convenient actuation when used with extension poles, limiting their usability for painting at high or hard-to-reach areas.
Innovation Solution
A holder device comprising a pole with an upper and lower section, an engaging member with a rotatable mount and saddle for securing a paint gun, a connector with a trigger and cord for actuating the paint gun, enabling adjustable length and easy operation at elevated heights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If a paint gun is attached to an extension pole using existing holder devices, then the reach is extended to access high or hard-to-reach areas, but the actuation becomes inconvenient and the setup lacks adjustability
Solution Approach 1:
A trigger mechanism is introduced as an intermediary component between the operator and the paint gun. The trigger is positioned within easy reach of the operator's hand and connected to the paint gun via a cord, allowing actuation without requiring the operator to reach up to the paint gun itself. This mediator enables convenient operation while maintaining extended reach capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount is made rotatable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the paint gun's angle and position. This enables the operator to adjust the setup for different working conditions and maintain comfort while using the extended pole, improving ease of operation without compromising reach.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed holder device is used to attach the paint gun to the pole, then the structure is simple, but the reach is not adjustable for different working conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is designed to be rotatable rather than fixed, providing adjustability in the angle at which the paint gun is held. This dynamic element allows the same simple holder structure to adapt to different working conditions and reach requirements without adding significant complexity to the overall device.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder device is divided into separate functional components: the mount for attachment to the pole, the saddle for securing the paint gun, and the trigger mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall simplicity, enabling adjustability without excessive complexity.

AI summary
A holder assembly includes a pole has an upper section and a lower section. An engaging member is coupled to the upper section. The engaging member may retain a paint gun on the pole. A connector is coupled to the pole such that the connector is positioned proximate a distal end of the pole with respect to the engaging member. A trigger is movably coupled to the connector. A cord extends between the paint gun and the trigger. The trigger may actuate the paint gun when the trigger is actuated.
