Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0313958A2] A spray gun has a locking element (9) at the lower end of the delivery lever (3), which is rotatably mounted near to its upper end. The locking element (9) can be moved from a release position outside the path of the lower end of the delivery lever into a locking position in this path. This type of attachment does not lead to a disruptive shortening of the working stroke of the delivery lever (3). <IMAGE>
