US Patent 12017331 Tool for powered sprayer

The present disclosure is directed to a tool for operating a nozzle holder. The nozzle holder is configured to couple a spray nozzle to a spray device, and includes an outer ring movable between a holding position and a release position. The nozzle holder is configured to securely hold the spray nozzle when the outer ring is in the holding position, and release the spray nozzle when the outer ring is in the release position. The tool includes an elongated body including a first end that defines an annular rim and a pocket that communicates with the annular rim. The annular rim is configured to selectively engage the outer ring to move the outer ring from the holding position to the release position. The elongated body also includes a second end that defines a recess configured to selectively receive and hold a portion of the spray nozzle.
