ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed towards an adjustable gas cartridge mount to be used on a paint gun that utilizes a gas cartridge to propel paint pellets from the paint gun. The adjustable gas cartridge mount includes a primary bracket which is structured to be secured to the paint gun and a cartridge engagement assembly which holds the gas cartridge in an effective orientation. Specifically, the cartridge engagement assembly includes an extension segment, which is slidingly coupled to the primary bracket and extends vertically downwards from the paint gun, and a cartridge coupling bracket structured to be coupled to both the gas cartridge and to the extension segment. The mount is structured such that the position of the extension segment may be moved in a forwards or backwards manner within the primary bracket in order to facilitate an enhanced balance between the gas cartridge and the paint gun. The cartridge coupling bracket is structured to secure the gas cartridge in a generally horizontal orientation relative to the paint gun, thereby ensuring that the gas cartridge does not interfere with a user's grasping and manipulating of the paint gun. Moreover, the cartridge coupling bracket is structured to be secured either in a variety of orientations relative to the extension segment so as to achieve a desired, optimal alignment of the gas cartridge relative to a central axis of the paint gun.
