Brief
The design of the spray gun is focused on simple operation for the user, the most ergonomic shape of the handle for work and last but not least, different and challenging approach to the design of the construction. The inspiration was the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, they move through the air, same as the paint sprayed with the gun.
Description
The body of the spray gun is made of a single piece of 2 mm thick bended steel sheet. After assembling internal components the metal sheet is bent on the jig into the final shape and forms a protective shell around the all functional elements. The gun is equipped with a replaceable and adjustable needle and the nozzle has an adjustable spraying paint orientation. The fluid and air supply is located in the bottom part of the handle, the hoses are connected to the gun by quick couplings.
Ergonomy of the handle is designed with the aim to enable the user to find the most comfortable and stable grip position. The rotatable knob and nozzle’s ring have significant grooves for better handling, over the needle’s knob there is a hook for hanging the gun while not using it. Exposed inlet tubes accent the raw look and correspond with the usual environment of usage.
