Abstract
An electrostatic powder spray gun comprises a powder channel for a powder-air mixture to be sprayed, the powder channel extending through a pistol tube and discharging axially forward at the forward end of the gun through an annular opening which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the pistol tube. An auxiliary air line extends through the pistol tube and discharges at the forward end and is constructed in such a manner that the auxiliary air line discharges axially forward as an annular opening coaxial with the annular powder opening, in particular radially and slightly in front of the annular powder opening. An air deflecting member is arranged in front of the auxiliary air annular opening and is seated at the free end of a rod which extends centrally through the pistol tube and is axially displaceable therein. The rod is mechanically coupled to the trigger of the spray gun so that the air deflecting member can be adjusted from the trigger.
