Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a spray gun apparatus having a casing with a nozzle. A rod extends within the casing and has an end portion with openings therein, for dispensing material. The rod operates with the casing to move relative to one another, for selectively dispensing the material. When the nozzle is positioned such that it is offset from the end portion of the rod, fluid material is allowed to flow out of the rod and is dispensed through the nozzle. When the end portion of the rod is positioned to seal the nozzle opening (e.g., via relative movement of the casing and rod), the fluid material is prevented from being dispensed through the nozzle. In certain implementations, an adapter interface is operable for coupling to an aerosol container having the material to be dispensed, and includes a conduit coupled to the rod for supplying the material.
