Abstract

A fluid applicator configured to reduce user fatigue is presented. The applicator comprises an inlet and an outlet fluidically coupled by a fluid path. The applicator also comprises a trigger. The trigger is configured to, when actuated, move between a closed position and an open position. The open position comprises a fluid flowing from the inlet, to the outlet, along the fluid path. The applicator also comprises a trigger support configured to reduce a pressure required to maintain the trigger in an open position. The trigger support is configured to reduce the pressure required as the trigger actuates between the closed position and the open position.
