A paint reservoir has an outlet connectable to a spray gun for transferring paint
from the reservoir to the spray gun in use. The outlet is provided with a valve
device for opening and closing the outlet to control flow of paint from the reservoir.
The valve device has an outer sleeve axially slidable on a spout between a retracted
position in which the outlet is closed and an extended position in which the outlet
is open. The spout is integral with a lid of the reservoir and the sleeve is a
push fit in an adapter for attaching the reservoir to a spray gun. The sleeve is
provided with support arms for retainer hooks engageable with the adapter to releasably
secure the reservoir to the spray gun.
