Abstract

A holster for a spray gun is provided. The holster is configured to hold a spray gun in place when not in use. The holster has a reservoir body that defines an open-topped chamber. A fluid may be held inside the chamber, and a nozzle of the spray gun held by the holster may submerge in this fluid. The nozzle being submerged in the fluid of the holster can prevent hardening, thickening or drying of any material left over on or in the spray gun nozzle after use.

Claims (23)

1. A holster for a spray gun comprising:

a reservoir body, the reservoir body having a first chamber and a second chamber within the reservoir body, each of the first chamber and second chamber being separated and having open tops;

wherein each of the first and second chamber is shaped and adapted to receive a nozzle of an adhesive spray gun, such that the nozzle can be submerged in a fluid contained within each of the first and second chamber; and

a connector allowing the reservoir body to be connected to a separate structure.

2. The holster of claim 1 wherein the fluid is at least one of a detergent, a soap, an alcohol solution, and a surfactant.

3. The holster of claim 1 wherein the first chamber is separated from the second chamber such that the fluid within the second chamber cannot pass to the first chamber.

4. The holster of claim 1 wherein the connector extends from one of a rear of the reservoir body or a side of the reservoir body.

5. The holster of claim 1 further comprising a drain spout at a bottom of at least one of the first and second chambers providing a fluid outlet.

6. The holster of claim 1 wherein the fluid in at least one of the first or second chambers is selected to prevent a hardening of an adhesive on the nozzle of the spray gun.

10. The spray gun holster system of claim 8 wherein the second nozzle is submerged in the second quantity of fluid.

11. The spray gun holster system of claim 7 further comprising a drain spout at a bottom of the first chamber providing a fluid outlet from the first chamber.

12. The spray gun holster system of claim 7 further comprising a connector configured to connect the reservoir body to an adjacent structure.

13. The spray gun holster system of claim 7 wherein the first nozzle is submerged in the first quantity of fluid.

14. The spray gun holster system of claim 7 wherein the first chamber is separated from the second chamber.
