Patent ID: 8757182

Claim:
A cleaning device for cleaning a spray gun, the cleaning device comprising: a feed device having an input connectable to a supply of cleaning fluid, and an output; at least one cleaning nozzle connected to the output of the feed device; a friction cleaning device configured for cleaning the spray gun or at least a part of the spray gun, the cleaning nozzle located proximate the friction cleaning device such that the cleaning nozzle applies cleaning fluid to the spray gun as the spray gun is cleaned by the friction cleaning device; a control device configured for controlling function of the cleaning device; the control device having: a connection port inlet configured for connection to a source of compressed air; a connection port outlet configured for connection with a compressed-air inlet of the spray gun, the connection port outlet admitting pressurized air into the compressed-air inlet of the spray gun during cleaning of the spray gun; and a pressure regulator for regulating air pressure of the pressurized air applied to the compressed-air inlet of the spray gun wherein the control device further comprises a selection switch for switching the cleaning device between a cleaning function and a spraying function, wherein in the spraying function the full air pressure of the compressed air is applied through the connection port outlet into the compressed-air inlet of the spray gun and in the cleaning function the air pressure of the compressed air applied into the compressed-air inlet of the spray gun is reduced by the pressure regulator.
