Abstract

A spray texture system and method is shown. Embodiments of spray texture systems and methods as described provide for refilling of a hopper. Spray texture systems and methods are also shown that are easier to support and spread the weight of system components to other parts of a user'"'"'s body. Other features include seals that prevent drying out of compound, allowing a user to clean equipment less frequently. Multiple types of compound are possible with spray texture systems and methods shown, providing more device flexibility.

Claims

1. A spray texturing system, comprising:

a reservoir;

a cart structure to support the reservoir above the ground;

at least one support to hold a spray texture gun and hopper in position adjacent to the reservoir; and

a user controlled mechanism to selectively release an amount of spray texture compound from within the reservoir into the hopper.

2. The spray texturing system of claim 1, wherein the reservoir includes a pail of pre-mixed spray texture compound.

3. The spray texturing system of claim 2, wherein the user controlled mechanism includes a joint to rotate the pail from a substantially upright orientation to a pouring orientation.

4. The spray texturing system of claim 1, wherein the user controlled mechanism includes a port to allow a gravity feed stream of spray texture compound.

5. The spray texturing system of claim 1, wherein the support to hold the spray texture gun and hopper in position adjacent to the reservoir includes at least one support to hold the spray texture gun and hopper in position substantially below the reservoir.

6. The spray texturing system of claim 1, further including wheels on a base of the cart structure.

7. The spray texturing system of claim 1, further including a height adjustment linkage connected between the cart and the reservoir to selectively raise or lower the reservoir a distance above the ground.

8. The spray texturing system of claim 1, further including a removable cover to prevent air from drying out the spray texture compound.

9. A spray texturing system, comprising:

a reservoir;

a cart structure to support the reservoir above the ground;

at least one support to hold a spray texture gun and hopper in position adjacent to the reservoir; and

a port to selectively release a gravity feed stream of spray texture compound from within the reservoir into the hopper.

10. The spray texturing system of claim 9, wherein the support to hold the spray texture gun and hopper in position adjacent to the reservoir includes at least one support to hold the spray texture gun and hopper in position substantially below the reservoir.

11. A spray texturing system, comprising:

a reservoir holder;

a cart structure to support the reservoir holder above the ground;

at least one support to hold a spray texture gun and hopper in position adjacent to the reservoir holder; and

a mechanical linkage to move the reservoir holder through a range of motion, wherein the range includes a first position to support a pail of pre-mixed spray texture compound substantially upright, and a second position to pour an amount of spray texture compound from the pail.

12. The spray texturing system of claim 11, wherein the mechanical linkage includes a hinge with lever for a user to pull.

13. The spray texturing system of claim 11, wherein the reservoir holder is adapted to hold a five gallon pail of pre-mixed spray texture compound.

14. A spray texturing system, comprising:

an extension pole having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes a mount to accept a spray texture gun;

a harness, including a coupling to accept the second end of the extension pole, wherein the harness transfers a portion of the weight of the spray texture gun through the extension pole to a users body.

15. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein the harness transfers a portion of the weight of the spray texture gun to a user'"'"'s waist.

16. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein the harness transfers a portion of the weight of the spray texture gun to a user'"'"'s shoulders.

17. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein the harness transfers a portion of the weight of the spray texture gun to both a user'"'"'s waist and a users shoulders.

18. The spray texturing system of claim 14, further comprising a remote trigger device to couple to a trigger on the spray texture gun for remote operation of the spray texture gun.

19. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein the mount to accept a spray texture gun includes a quick connect mount that is adaptable to a number of spray texture gun configurations.

20. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein the mount to accept a spray texture gun includes at least one orientation joint to selectively adjust an angle of the spray texture gun with respect to the extension pole.

21. The spray texturing system of claim 14, wherein an extension pole length is adjustable.

22. A spray texturing system, comprising:

a reservoir;

a cart structure to support the reservoir above the ground;

a spray texture gun assembly, including;

a spray texture gun;

a hopper coupled to the spray texture gun;

an extension pole having a first end and a second end, wherein the spray texture gun assembly is attached to the extension pole adjacent to the first end;

a harness, including a coupling to accept the second end of the extension pole, wherein the harness transfers a portion of the weight of the spray texture gun assembly through the extension pole to a users body;

at least one support to hold the spray texture gun assembly in position adjacent to the reservoir; and

a user controlled mechanism to selectively release an amount of spray texture compound from within the reservoir into the hopper.

23. The spray texturing system of claim 22, further comprising a remote trigger device to couple to a trigger on the spray texture gun for remote operation of the spray texture gun.
