Abstract (en)
[origin: US4793369A] A system for cleaning paint from objects such as spray guns, associated cups and paint cans comprising: an enclosed housing divided into a work chamber and a fluid storage reservoir containing paint solvent and a fluid, having a specific gravity greater than that of the solvent; spray nozzles attached to a first and a second outlet adapted to receive and spray pressurized solvent therefrom; the first outlet includes a tube for receiving and supporting a spray gun and for directing solvent to flow through an inlet of the spray gun; a foraminous layer defines a surface for supporting articles to be cleaned in a preferred orientation relative to the second outlet. The system includes additional spray nozzles for spraying the exterior of the articles being cleaned. In addition, the system includes a bracket for orienting a paint can in a relatively rotational manner relative to a spray nozzle interior to the paint can for enhancing the cleaning thereof. A trigger lock is also provided to maintain the trigger mechanism of the spray gun in an activated condition.
