Abstract:
1. A paint sprayer comprising: a control housing; a prime valve disposed within the control housing; an electrical pressure control including a pressure switch assembly having an electrical pressure switch, the electrical pressure control disposed within the control housing; a single pin prime valve actuator configured to actuate the prime valve, the single pin prime valve actuator disposed within the control housing; an electrical pressure control actuator configured to actuate the electrical pressure switch, the electrical pressure control actuator disposed within the control housing; a single shaft having an axis oriented at substantially a right angle to the single pin prime valve actuator; wherein the single pin prime valve actuator and the electrical pressure control actuator are each coupled to the single shaft such that movement of the single shaft selectively actuates the paint sprayer to one of a prime mode and a spray mode, and further wherein the electrical pressure control actuator is operable within a range of pressure settings by movement of the single shaft while the paint sprayer remains in the spray mode.
