Abstract:
A pump for use with a material sprayer includes a cylinder, a piston, a pump head, first and second check valves, and an elbow connected to the cylinder. The cylinder and the piston are coaxial with a pump axis. The pump head is configured to make a mechanical connection with the reciprocating drive mechanism so as to allow the reciprocating drive mechanism to reciprocate the piston along the pump axis. The elbow includes a first end, a second end, and an inner fluid channel. The first end is configured to make a fluid connection with the hopper. The second end is configured to be fixed with respect to the cylinder. The inner fluid channel extends from the first end to the second end. The pump head and the first end of the elbow are configured to make mechanical and fluid connections with a single linear motion of the pump.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of installing a pump assembly onto a material sprayer with a hopper and a reciprocating drive mechanism, the method comprising:\n inserting a first end of an elbow of the pump assembly into a port of the hopper, wherein the pump assembly comprises:\n a pump comprising:\n a cylinder; \n a piston disposed in the cylinder, the piston comprising a piston head; and \n a pump axis, wherein the cylinder and the piston are coaxial with the pump axis; and \n \n an elbow comprising:\n the first end; \n a second end attached to the pump on a first end of the pump opposite from the reciprocating drive mechanism; and \n a bend portion extending between the first and second ends of the elbow; \n \n inserting the piston head into a slot of a collar of the reciprocating drive mechanism to form a dynamic mechanical connection between the pump and the reciprocating drive mechanism; and \n forming a fluidic connection between the pump and the port of the hopper.
