DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Now, with reference to the drawing, there is depicted therein, a spray paint assembly, generally, denoted at 10.
The assembly 10, generally, comprises a spray gun or nozzle 12, a cup or container for the paint 14 and an agitator, in accordance with the present invention, generally, indicated at 16.
With more particularity, the spray gun or nozzle 12 is a conventional apparatus and well known to the skilled artisan.
The spray gun 12 is connected through a conduit 18 to a source of pressurized fluid (not shown), such as compressed air.
By drawing back on the trigger 20 of the gun 12 suitable valving is opened to permit the pressurized fluid to pass through the gun and out of the barrel head 22.
As is, also, known to those skilled in the art, as the air passes out of the head, it has entrained therein, paint which is contained or stored within the cup 14.
The paint is aspirated by suitable means associated with the gun.
For example, an aspirator tube communicates between the gun and the cup to create a pressure differential between the surface of the paint and the gun.
In this manner, the aspirator tube, in essence, functions to siphon paint from the cup and into the container.
Again, this function is well known to the skilled artisan.
