SHEET EBF 2 1" PAINT ACCOMMODATING MODULES ADAPTED FOR USE WITH SPRAY GUNS This invention relates to paint containing devices and, more particularly, to such devices adapted for use with spray guns of the type using compressed gas.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION The prior art is replete with a number of devices for holding or containing paint. Many of these devices are further adapted to be utilized in conjunction with an air or pressurized gas spray gun. Such prior art devices generally include paint containers which may be fitted onto a gun and used in conjunction with the gun to spray paint by operating under gravity feed principles and otherwise.
Certain of these paint containers utilize narrow tubes which are directed into the paint accommodating portion of the container and function to draw the paint up into an accompanying nozzle. Other devices utilize a common chamber and nozzle for bothair and paint. This common chamber or nozzle is then used to accommodate both the paint and the compressed air to therefore permit controlled spraying of an object to be painted. Such devices, in general, suffer from many disadvantages.
The devices that use the common chamber assembly are subjected to clogging, require constant maintenance and care to provide reliable operation. Other devices require complicated mechanical structures to assure that the paint and the spray gun are controlled by a common actuated valve assembly.
Another major disadvantage of prior art containers used with pressurized guns is the fact that the mechanism for coupling the container to the gun is relatively complicated, thus requiring a great deal of time and effort on behalf of the operator to enable him to change from one paint color to another color as desired.
In view of these and other disadvantages, there is the common advantage of spray devices in general which the present invention is also concerned with. Namely, these devices provide an overall better paint surface to an object as compared to the use of brushes and are, in general, easier and quicker.
The advantages of spray gun use are further envisioned and multiplied in commercial use, model building or hobbyest kits. Such models may many times be fairly small and yet the desire of the model builder is to produce an accurate replica of a full scale counterpart. Inherent with the building of any model is operation with miniature versions. The use of spray paints in providing an optimum paint finish to such model is desirable. However, the amount of paint used and the number of different colors which one may require are more fundamental problems than the color format of the actual counterpart.
It is therefore obvious that to adequately paint such models one needs a much smaller amount of paint than is normally necessary, plus one would further desire to have the ability to use a spray gun allowing easy interchangeability of paint modules using inexpensive and uncomplicated structures.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a compact paint accommodating module particularly adapted for use with a spray gun. The module and attachment for the spray gun are particularly suited for use in model and hobby applications, although various other uses can be contemplated as well.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a conventional pressurized air gun is adapted to be used with a paint containing module, which module comprises a first cylindrical paint reservoir portion generally fabricated from a transparent, flexible, plastic substance. A front end of the cylindrical portion is adapted to coact with a liquid discharge portion of the module which generally is of an arcuate configuration and having a paint accommodating aperture. A module holder is affixed to the spray gun near the nozzle end of the gun to enable the paint module to be placed in the holder with the tip of the arcuate portion of the module held in close proximity with the nozzleof the air gun. When pressurized or compressed gas or air is released from the air gun, the force of the air serves to draw the paint via the aperture from the reservoir. The configuration requires no feed tube arrangement coacting with the paint in the container and does not require a pressurized capsule and hence eliminates many disadvantages inherent with the prior art configurations.

FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of a protective cage device which may be used in conjunction with the assembly shown in FIG. 7.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown an air gun 10. The air gun 10 is relatively conventional and has an inlet nozzle portion 1 l and an outlet nozzle portion 17. The inlet portion 11 is adapted to be coupled to a source of compressed air. The spray gun or air gun 10 has a barrel portion 16 which has a relatively narrow center aperture 20 which communicates with the compressed air inlet portion 11 of the gun through a suitable valve assembly 22. The valve assembly 22 may be a conventional type and is trigger actuated. There is shown a trigger mechanism 15 which, when depressed, opens the valve, thus causing compressed air to be directed, through the center aperture 20 in the barrel portion 16 of the gun. Hence, when the trigger 15 is depressed, this permits relatively high velocity air to emerge from the nozzle portion 17 of the gun. This particular feature of air guns is relatively universal and general, as many such devices operate accordingly. More specifically, a handle portion 12 of the gun enables a user to grip the towards the barrel portion of the gun the valve plug 18 is forced upwards thus permitting high velocity air to pass from aperture 19 to aperture 20 and thence for discharge at the nozzle 17.
The gun is further adapted to accommodate a paint module assembly according to this invention. A holder 23 is positioned or affixed to the barrel 16 of the gun, closer to the air exit nozzle 17 and has an aperture or other arrangement capable of accommodating a paint module assembly 30. The paint module assembly is generally of a cylindrical configuration and has a paint accommodating portion 31 which is preferably fabricated from a clear, soft transparent plastic. This paint accommodating section or paint reservoir 31 enables the user to readily ascertain the color of the paint, the condition of the paint and so on. The module further has a front liquid discharge portion which generally comprises a cap or cover member 33 including an arcuate portion 34 having a central paint accommodating aperture. According to the arrangement as shown in the figure, the arcuate portion 34 of the paint module 30 is 'directed to be in close proximity with the nozzle portion 17 of the air gun 10. It is further noted that the paint nozzle 30 has no tube directed into the paint reservoir, as the action of the device provides a capillary action due to the narrow diameter of the paint accommodating aperture associated with the paint module. Further action inherent in the forces produced by the compressed air stream emanating from the nozzle acts to draw the paint from the module by causing the flexible portion 31 to compress.
This flexible nature of the soft plastic thereby providing compression during operation, further forces the paint into the arcuate arm s 34 aperture, hence permitting the same to be easily sprayed upon an object. The paint accommodating module as shown in the figure is approximately between I to 4 inches long and can hold a few ounces of paint, the quantity of paint being sufficient for most model builders purposes. The holder assembly 23 may be a simple bracket device having an aperture of a sufficient diameter to coact with a collar located on the cover or cap portion 33 ofthe paint accommodating module.
Alternate embodiments for brackets and so on should be obvious to those skilled in the art, while the specification will describe certain other holder arrangements as well.
Referring to FIG. 2 the module holder assembly 23 is shown in greater detail. The assembly has a central aperture 26 dimensional to accommodate a collar assembly of the paint module 30 of FIG. 1. There are a series of apertures on the side brackets of holder 23, noted as 25 of FIG. 1, to enable riveting, bolting or otherwise to the barrel portion of the gun 10.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the trigger assembly 15, which is pivotally mounted on the barrel portion of the gun.
FIG. 4 shows a paint accommodating module, a paint accommodating reservoir 40 is fabricated from a clear transparent, plastic material which is generally flexible in nature. The transparent nature of this reservoir portion 40 allows a user to view the contents of the liquid contained therein both as to color and consistency. A plurality of agitator balls 41 are also located therein to enable mixing of the paint if necessary. The top opened portion of reservoir 40 communicates with a liquid discharge section 42. The section 42 has a flange about the bottom adapted to be force-fitted in to the top opening of the reservoir portion 40. Also shown on the liquid discharge section 42 is a collar arrangement of sufficient diameter to coact with and be held by the aperture 26 of the holder assembly 23 of FIG. 2.
The liquid discharge portion 42 has an arcuate arm 43 with a central paint accommodating aperture. The aperture communicates at one end with the open top of the reservoir 40 via the internal hollow of member 42, and at a tip end represented by the cut-line shown on the Figure. The liquid discharge portion 42 may be fabricated from a plastic material and integrally formed with a stopper assembly, comprising a head end 44 and an elongated piercing rod 45.
The piercing rod 45 is of a diameter to permit insertion of the same into the paint accommodating passageway of the arcuate arm 43. The user by means of a scissor or other cutting tool separates the stopper assembly at the cut line when the paint modules is to be used.
FIG. 5 shows the stopper assembly inserted into the arcuate arm s aperture 45 when the module is not being used, thus preventing paint from accidentally or otherwise being discharged during module non-use.
FIG. 6 shows an alternate holder arrangement 50. The holder 50 has two arms as 51 both being held of the general configuration shown in FIG. 2. The front portion of the holder 50 has a central aperture 53 for accommodating the collar assembly 42 of module of FIG. 4 for example.
There is located two slots as 52 on opposite sides of the front surface of holder 50. The central aperture communicates with the slots 52 via three apertures, one on each side and one on the bottom. The paint module is thereby inserted into aperture 53 with the collar assembly located within and surrounded by the front of assembly 50. A wire spring member 54 is slideably inserted into the slots 52. The wire spring member has protruding portions on the side and bottom surfaces, which portions communicate via the apertures in the holder to secure the module between the collar portions to thereby prevent movement of the same when properly positioned in the holder.
FIG. 7 shows an alternate embodiment of an air gun and paint accommodating module 85. The air gun has a barrel portion 74, a handle portion 70, including therein a passageway 72 for compressed air. A needle valve 71 is shown communicating with passageway 72 and by adjusting the set screw mechanism associated with valve 71 one can thereby control air flow. The valve assembly 73 is actuated by the trigger mechanism 76 and is similar both in function and structure to the assembly shown in FIG. 1, to thus permit compressed air to flow from passageway 72 to passageway in the barrel portion 74 of the gun. The high velocity air is thusly discharged at the nozzle exit 81 of the gun.
A holder assembly is shown pivotally mounted to the gun via a pivot assembly 78. The bracket 80 is L- shaped and has a set screw 77 located on the top flange of the L assembly. The set screw or adjustment means. 77 coacts with the barrel portion and by adjustment of the same causes the holder 80 to move about an arc to assure positionability of the tip of the paint module 85 with the tip of the guns nozzle 81.
A spring 79 is used to bias the holder assembly and therefore firmly secure the same in any one of the selected positions afforded by the adjustment means 77.
The paint module 85 has an accordian-shaped reservoir section 86, which is fabricated from a clear, flexible plastic. The accordian reservoir section permits easier compressionability to further assure uniform paint discharge.
A liquid discharge 87 portion of the module 85 has an arcuate configuration with a paint accommodating passageway 88 communicating between the reservoir 86 and the tip end of the arcuate section 87. A collar arrangement associated with the module 85 coacts with the holder bracket 80 and is retained thereby in a manner as previously shown.
FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of the module of FIG. 7 showing a flanged collar 94 and the bellows or accordian arrangement 90 of the reservoir. The liquid discharge portion 91 is shown formed with an integral stopper assembly comprising a grasping end 92 and an elongated stopper means 93. The cut line is shown dashed.
FIG. 9 shows a protective cage assembly 96, which is fabricated from a hard plastic or metal material and is cylindrical in shape and of a diameter selected to accommodate within the hollow confines thereof, the accordian portion or flexible reservoir portion of the paint accommodating module. The cage 96 has apertures 97 along the surface thereof to permit the user to easily view the contents of the module as above described.

News Roundup: Scotty McCreery, Kellie Pickler and Scott Borchetta Talk the End of 'American Idol'
The Boot rounds up today's top stories from our news partners.
The Boot rounds up today's top stories from our news partners.
Country fans will get one more season to see Keith Urban as a judge on American Idol.
The American Idol judges have seen plenty of country singers audition and make their way into the pool of finalists throughout the years. Have you ever wondered what happened to some of them?
American Idol propels many talented-yet-unknown singers into the world of fame, with some faring better than others. Throughout Idol's time on TV, there have been 24 finalists with country roots, and while some contestants like Carrie Underwood and Scotty McCreery are still on everyone's radar, what about some of the lesser-known artists, like Crystal Bowersox?
Once again, Carrie Underwood is the top-earning 'American Idol' alum.
Keith Urban is gearing up to begin judging Season 14 of 'American Idol,' and he's filling fans in on some big changes in the new season.
Big Machine Label Group President and CEO Scott Borchetta is set to join 'American Idol,' replacing Jimmy Iovine and former judge Randy Jackson in their roles as in-house mentors.
Since 'American Idol' debuted more than a dozen years ago, reality singing competitions have become an increasingly viable way to discover new country talent. The show reigned supreme on the airwaves, virtually unchallenged for years, until 'The Voice' premiered in 2011. Since then, the two shows have competed fiercely to find the best new talent in country music.
Friends and fans feared the worst after former 'American Idol' contestant Josh Gracin posted what many interpreted as a suicide note to his Facebook account late Thursday afternoon (Aug. 14).
Danny Gokey's life has been far from easy. The 34-year-old lost his first wife, Sophia, in 2008, from complications of a surgery for congenital heart disease. Only one month later, Gokey auditioned for Season 8 'American Idol,' where he came in third.

|This course looks at the vast and diverse cultural and aesthetic landscape of dance performance in the millennium and the new breed of choreographers making cutting-edge works that pursue radically different methods, materials and strategies for provoking new ideas about dance, body, and corporeal aesthetics. Taking in the vast spectrum of new-age performance (live and virtualized), we will ask such questions as: How does non-narrative dance focus on the body as an instrument with unlimited possibilities, without the impetus of stories, emotions, ideas, specific external images? How do heterosexuality, homosexuality, and androgeny constitute a gender spectrum in new works? How do we watch and evaluate dances from culturally specific traditions? How, in improvisational performance, do we watch people moving with each other and in space when there is no clear beginning, middle, or end; and how is the viewer challenged to see the point of people balancing, lifting, falling, and rolling? How do community-based performances constitute a distinct sociopolitical theme in dance works? How do site-specific works illuminate the thematic content of a work and various spaces for the viewer? How do choreographers utilize technology, text, sets, and lighting in developing multidisciplinary performance art works? Lastly, and most importantly, how have millennial dance artists instigated new frames and viewing positions from which to understand how dance communicates; and how are they inspiring a new generation of self-and-socially conscious artists/activists who insist on speaking directly to their own generation?

U.S. Marine Pfc. Colton Rusk comes home for the final time
Orange Grove grad was killed in Afghanistan
COASTAL BEND - A lone maintenance man stood at attention with a single tear rolling down his face, as perfect strangers welcomed a U.S. Marine home for the last time.
Six, white gloved Marine hands moved in torturous slow motion, saluting Pfc. Colton Rusk's flag-draped casket as it was lowered to the tarmac at Corpus Christi International Airport.
Rusk, 20, has been dead since Dec. 5, after falling in a hail of Taliban bullets in one of the worst pieces of war-torn landscape in Afghanistan.
Rusk's lifelong friend Stuart Brown, a fellow Marine, stood at attention, after escorting Rusk's body home from Delaware, where it first arrived from the Middle East.
Rusk's older brother Cody sucked in a deep breath and his lip quivered, losing for only a second the tough guy control, he and his Marine brother have always been known for. Rusk's younger brother Brady gnawed absently at his thumbnail, with tears in his eyes.
Colton Rusk's buddy Justin Rokohl, who lost his legs to the war in Afghanistan, was nearby. Like the other Marines on hand for the solemn occasion, there were no tears from Rokohl. Just the awful look of resignation that comes with losing a friend you have loved for your entire life.
Colton Rusk's friend Lauren Kirchoff, the one who he appears with in embarrassing baby pictures from two decades ago, has grown into a beautiful blonde. She had told Rusk she would marry him if it meant he would not go to Afghanistan. The handsome young Marine, told her yes, but went to war anyway, she said.
Kirchoff, flanked by her parents, sister and she and Rusk's collective best girlfriend Robbye Rokohl, cried inconsolably.
Before the plane landed, Kirchoff's father Scott was stoic about the pending arrival of the kid he has known since birth.
"He's home," Scott Kirchoff said.

About the Book
Early one morning' after a sandstorm had ripped through north Texas' I wandered into Mr. Tilly's circus. I wore a black suit and blood ran down my face. When some of the carnies came up to me, I said, "I'm numb." This became my name.
A man with no memory who feels no pain, Numb travels to New York City after a short stint with the circus, following the one and only clue he holds to his hidden history: a brittle, bloodstained business card. But once there, word of his condition rapidly spreads—sparked by the attention he attracts by letting people nail his hands to wooden bars for money—and he quickly finds himself hounded on all sides by those who would use his unique ability in their own pursuits of fame and fortune. It is a strange world indeed that Numb numbly stumbles through, surrounded by crowds of suck-ups and opportunists, as he confronts life's most basic and difficult question: Who am I?
Sean Ferrell's Numb is a wildly entertaining examination of identity, friendship, pain, and the cult of celebrity that heralds the arrival of a fresh and uniquely inventive literary voice.

What an infuriating interview. I wonder if he talks like that to himself in his brain, or if he just goes into illogical-obfuscation mode when speaking to a journalist.
There are a lot of semantics involved in your statement.
Before the season it could make sense to not fire Amaro, because there was a possibility that Ben Revere would turn into history's greatest baseball player and that trade would be seen as the best trade ever. But now, it seems like he should be fired.5. jdennis Posted: July 31, 2014 at 07:43 PM (#4762141)

Jayson Stark reported last week that Howard was offered to AL teams needing a 1B/DH with the Phils offering to may most of the salary and asking nothing in return, and found no takers.
Cliff Lee left the game against the Nationals in the 3rd inning, apparently due to an elbow problem. Should have traded him.9. JRVJ Posted: July 31, 2014 at 08:17 PM (#4762160)

There is such a thing as insurance.
Some of these quotes are too good not to repeat. Here's a belly laugh of one:11. John Reynard Posted: August 01, 2014 at 04:16 AM (#4762331)
Amaro: Well, I would disagree with that. It wasn't a scenario where we were asking for players that were their top prospects. We were not looking for exorbitant paybacks, so to speak, we were looking for players that would help us, but I think we were very reasonable in the discussions that we had. Frankly, I don't think the clubs were aggressive enough for the talent we have on our club.
Translation: It's not me, it's everyone else who's crazy!
And then this one:
Amaro: I like our minor league system, just because I think we can always improve there. But we do have more talent than is being depicted publicly. Again, the people who are evaluating our talent, with all due respect, I don't know how accurate they are. But we do have some talented young players and we have some people who are going to help us and have given us some depth.
Translation: All those guys ranking prospects live in their mom's basement!
Seriously would anyone except that ownership group and his immediate family care if he was fired tonight?
I'm telling you the Phillies might be looking at a decade in the wilderness if this ownership group keeps the team.
I'd care if he was fired. I'd be happy; That is caring.12. Cloude Atlas (Voxter) Posted: August 01, 2014 at 05:17 AM (#4762334)
Don't under-rate the Phillies ability to stay mediocre or bad. What did Bill James say about the Phillies once? They had a bad 20th Century or something like that?
That said, they really could be a contender as soon as 2016 if proper management was in place.
"C'mon guys. Do you really want me making any more moves with this team?"13. Jeltzandini Posted: August 01, 2014 at 07:45 AM (#4762343)
With another year of seasoning, this young talent core could really go places!

I want to talk and stretch ideas. Join me in geekery. I'm unabashedly smart and glad to be challenged, glad to admit what I don't know, buoyed by all I do know. Islamic Spain, ghazals, names of mushrooms, mitochondria, the things I want to know keep expanding.
I have written a novel, and I'm working on another. Writing makes me feel alive. Music can work the same way. I can play contradance music by ear sometimes. I've camped under white pines with 200 people and played and danced along a lake shore. Sitting on the grass and feeling the music in the soles of your feet, feeling it lift and swing in response to what you play, is joyful.
I can ride a horse and drive a tractor and throw a hay bale. In a flat calm, I can persuade a row boat across a cove. I walk in zig zags and stop to touch and smell and feel and kick up leaves. And I love living where I live, in these hills.
I'm a novelist and a poet and a journalist in the country. I spend my days learning why artists and singers and welders and mycologists love what they love and trying to build community. I'm happy and close to my family and damn lucky.
What am I looking for? Someone who will talk with me and listen with me. Someone who can relax with me. Someone who'll grab hands with me and spin in circles. Someone who will understand why I would rather read or walk or bake or do something tangible than watch television. (I like movies, and I can quote most of Princess Bride back at you.)
I want to hold and be held. My family taught me to share space and make treasure hunts and sing while I wash the dishes and work out fights and stay present with someone crying and ease someone sick and face the hard talks and throw tennis balls for the dog, and I miss it.
I know how it feels to want a friend fearlessly, wholly. I want that feeling back.

For its Big Cat Organic Stout
Our judges said, "Fantastic aroma, soft at the end."
Brewing a local beer is one thing, but brewing it using locally grown organic barley really sets it apart. Cotswolds farmers produce amongst the highest quality malting barleys in the UK and Stroud Brewery together with Warminster Maltings are the links in the chain that connect local drinkers with their local farms and the characteristic landscape they create.
Stroud Brewery source all of their malt through Warminster Maltings which trades with the farmers that grow the malting barley. This enables Stroud Brewery to guarantee a malt supply grown on the Cotswolds with a 'Warranty of Origin'. Brewing beer from locally grown organic malt ensures that good practice is adopted from the field to the glass, and that the barley and hop crops grown are not reliant on inputs of fertiliser and pesticide derived from across the globe.
The brewery use local suppliers and services and raised much of their start up finance through interest paying loans from local people. This is one of the reasons why they will not sell their beer through supermarkets, but choose to sell through independent outlets.
At Stroud Brewery they strive to produce great tasting beers using the highest quality local ingredients in a way that is fair, at the least environmental cost and of a truly Cotswolds providence.

NeNe Leakes' Friends Are Worried that She's Obsessed with Plastic Surgery
RadarOnline.com is reporting that Leakes, 41, is planning to get liposuction to have a totally flat stomach. This is after she had the procedure done on her thighs, hips and stomach.
A source is quoted saying, "NeNe is determined to have a flatter tummy, and she intends to have more liposuction done so she looks her very best this summer."
Friends of the reality diva are worried for her, according to the source. "Her friends are worried that she has become too obsessed with plastic surgery and have warned her about the dangers, but she just wants to be the best image of herself that she can be. She intends to have the procedure done sooner rather than later."
The source also added, "The truth is that despite being loud and overconfident in public, NeNe has some issues regarding her self-image. She has always wanted to be famous, and now that she is those insecurities have been heightened for her to look perfect."
Radar is reporting that the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star has already gone under the knife in the past and has had several procedures done including a nose job, breast reduction and lift, new veneers on her teeth and the previously mentioned liposuction procedures. In addition, Leakes recently lost 15 pounds by exercising more and eating healthier.

All that time and money, NeNe still doesn't look one bit different. She should spend it on her fixing her personality and her big mouth.

I sure liked the way she handled Dionne Warwick on Celebrity Apprentice. Dionne is a cranky old has been. Now, move on to that control freak Star Jones........
- Friday 01 AprilBy Prema
She needs an intervention. I think she is getting too consumed by trying to make a living in the wrong place. She will be forgotten within the year just like the past ones have. She has to move on, pull it together and get a job--a real job and quit trying to set up gigs to get paid for interviews. Pretty soon, no one will care what she has to say.

I don't have a problem with NeNe's "enhancements". I was just pinching my inch this morning thinking...if I only had the money, I'd get a tummy tuck. Women our age may need a little lift to keep it all pulled together. Go for it, NeNe!

Imagine, she was the one who turned me on to housewifes, I loved her, respected her, look what 3 years will do if you walk in devils shoes....NeNe you are the pits!!

When is the tranny going to have her sex change operation? She already looks, sounds and acts like a man, and no amount of plastic surgery is going to change that.
