Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
... a spray gun includes a fluid adjustment which controls the fluid valve, a spreader adjustment valve, an air-valve assembly, an air cap, a fluid inlet, and an air inlet. The balance among air pressure, airflow, fluid pressure, and fluid flow is controlled by adjusting the valves concerned to provide the desired spray quality and pattern. Air flowing through the center area of the air cap and through holes near the center mixes with fluid from the fluid tip and produces an atomized spray. Air flowing from the openings in the horns of the air cap impinges on each side of the fluid spray to produce an elongated spray pattern. This pattern may be adjusted for a wide or narrow area by changing the setting of the spreader adjustment valve. The pattern can be made vertical or horizontal by turning the air cap. 3, record 3, English, - air%20cap

Il traverse le corps du pistolet et est projeté dans les petits trous d’une bague déflectrice placée à l'arrière de la tête qui entoure la buse de pulvérisation. L'alimentation en air se règle par une autre soupape à ressort, située également au-dessous de la détente.... [Une soupape, montée à l'arrière du corps du pistolet, ] modifie le réglage d’une ouverture à l'intérieur du pistolet, qui règle le débit d’air traversant une seconde série de trous de l'anneau déflecteur et se dirigeant vers des orifices situés dans les deux "bossages" de la tête.
