THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE V. 6th Street MEDFORD PAINTER INVENTS GADJET FOR SPRAY GUNS The invention of a paint spray gun attachment wblch permits the use of a temporary paint container is announced by Harold U. Mitchell, manager of the Medford Auto Beauty Shop at 608 South Riverside. Prior to the perfection of Mr. Mitchell's Invention all paint spray guns were equipped with permanent paint containers. Between each use the container required a thorough cleansing. In this process a half pint of lacquer thinner would be used. As lacquer thinner costs 91.1ft a gallon, the cost of cleaning a single spray gun for the average week was about S3. Realizing that It was costing him H60 a year to wash containers on bis spray guns, Mr. Mitchell began searching last far. for me way to do away with this annual expendi ture. First be discovered that empty motor oil cans could be obalned In large numbers merely for the asking. He also found that these cans could be cleaned ot oil by the use of gaso line for a very small expenditure. Then Mr. Mitchell decided to devise an apparatus for attaching the cans to the spray gun. If he could do this, the oil cans could be used once and then throw naway. This pro cess would of course save the cost of cleaning a permanent container. For three months last fall Mr. Mitchell worked literally day ana night on his invention, leaving the shop work to his assistants. Twenty or thirty methods of attaching the cans were attempted. Finally a clamp with two movable pieces was devised. This clamp could be oper ated with one hand. It proved to . be entirely satisfactory and has been In use for several months. The inventor has applied for a patent upon this apparatus and ex pects It to be Issued In a few weeks. He has received an offer from a spray gpn manufacturing company to buy the device outright. There Is a pos sibility, Mr. Mitchell states, that rather than sell the attachment out right he may undertake production and distribution of It himself. He now has models at several faotorles for manufacturing bids and believes that the device will be sold cheaply enough so that It will pay for Itself In a week.
