An assembly for feeding liquid to the inlet port of a liquid spraying device
or
spray gun. The assembly includes a stiff container that defines an opening into
a cavity in the container, and a flexible liner positioned within the cavity in
the container has an outer surface generally corresponding in shape to the inner
surface of the container, an inner surface defining a cavity in the liner, and
an annular lip along the top end of the side wall defining an opening into the
cavity in the liner. An included adapter assembly has a central portion with a
through opening that is adapted to engage the inlet port of a liquid spraying device,
a transverse portion including a peripheral part adapted for engagement within
the flexible liner adjacent said top end of the container, and means for sealing
the flexible liner around the peripheral part of the adapter assembly. An air supply
assembly connected to the container supplies air at a relatively low pressure (e.g.,
in the range of about 0.5 to 8 pounds per square inch or 3.5 to 55 kilopascals)
between the outer surface of the flexible liner and the inner surface of the container
which improves the flow of liquids through the liquid spraying device or spray
gun to which the assembly is attached, and allows that spraying device or spray
gun to be used in any orientation.
