A paint cup mounting arrangement including a mounting cylinder fastened to a paint spray gun by a screw joint and having a coupling flange around the periphery, a socket sleeved onto the mounting cylinder and having an inward coupling flange forced into engagement with the coupling flange of the mounting cylinder, a paint cup fastened to the socket by a screw joint, a paint guide tube mounted within the mounting cylinder and the socket and sealed by rubber seal rings and adapted to guide paint from the paint cup to the paint spray gun, and a compression spring mounted within the mounting cylinder around the paint guide tube to impart a backward pressure to the socket and to force, the paint cup being adjusted to a vertical position by forcing the socket inwards to compress the compression spring and to disengage the coupling flange of the socket from the coupling flange of the mounting cylinder and then turning the socket about the mounting cylinder.

[ What the invention claimed is:] [6.] A mounting assembly for operably and adjustably mounting a paint cup to a paint spray gun comprising:(a) a mounting cylinder adapted for fixed coupling to the paint spray gun for guiding thereto a flow of paint from the paint cup, said mounting cylinder including a radially protruding coupling flange, said mounting cylinder defining a receiving chamber extending longitudinally therein;(b) a socket coaxially and displaceably coupled to said mounting cylinder, said socket having formed therein a longitudinally extending stepped receiving chamber, said stepped receiving chamber having longitudinally displaced front and rear sections, said front section having a greater diametric dimension than said rear section, said front section receiving at least a portion of said mounting cylinder, said socket having formed therethrough a screw hole disposed in open communication with said rear section, said socket having formed thereon a coupling flange protruding radially into said stepped receiving chamber for engagement with said coupling flange of said mounting cylinder;(c) a paint guide tube cooperatively received within said receiving chamber of said mounting cylinder and said rear section of said stepped receiving chamber of said socket for conveying the flow of paint from the paint cup to the mounting cylinder, said paint guide tube having a front neck portion extending axially from a tubular body portion, said tubular body portion having an annular groove formed therein;(d) a first resilient seal ring coaxially coupled to said neck portion of said paint guide tube and a second resilient seal ring engaging said annular groove of said tubular body portion of said paint guide tube, said second resilient seal ring abutting portions of both said mounting cylinder and said socket; and,(e) a compression spring coaxially coupled to said paint guide tube and extending axially between said second resilient seal ring and said mounting cylinder, said compression spring axially biasing said socket away from said mounting cylinder;whereby said coupling flange of said socket is maintained in releasable engagement with said coupling flange of said mounting cylinder.
