EASY TRANSITIONING BETWEEN FEATURES
Proof of concept: (Prototype: 3d printing)
The 'old' design doesn't allow for any 'continuous spray' PLUS...
the 'old' design gives every DIY user the dreaded, 'Finger fatigue!'
The global aerosol market including spray paint,
as well as, automotive, aircrafts, marine, railroad
and farm machinery repair, is a multi-billion dollar industry.
There are Billions of aerosol cans, including spray paint, sold annually to
D.I.Y. consumers. Most spray paint sales are by Rust-Oleum & Krylon. (sherwin-williams)
There have been few technological innovations.
(Think a 90's flip phone vs. A smart phone)
The standard use to be the tiny “red” actuator. really painful!
Rust-Oleum's new one is on the left. Krylon's updated one is on right.
There are also after market products like Rust-Oleum’s, “Comfort Grip” or Krylon’s
“Snap & Spray” that go over existing actuators that you squeeze:
BUT! whether you push a button or pull a trigger: You still have Finger fatigue.
Now, the solution has arrived!

1. "OFF" (NO SPRAY w/child safety lock)
2. "Manual"(normal spray) and
3. "AUTOMATIC" (CONTINUOUS SPRAY)
