Airbrush operating lever and airbrush equipped with the lever

摘要

An air brush operation lever is provided with a lever body that has a support shaft to be engaged with an engagement groove provided near an air valve-actuating part. The lever body has: an operation part for tilting, centered on the support shaft, the upper part of the lever body toward the back; an air valve-opening part for pressing the air valve-actuating part downward below the support shaft by the operation of the operation part to open the air valve; a needle-opening part for moving a needle-actuating part backward above the support shaft by the operation of the operation part; and an insertion hole through which the needle is inserted. The needle-opening part is configured so that the needle-actuating part is operated after operation of the air valve-actuating part by the air valve-opening part. As a result, an air brush operation lever is provided with which even a user who is not accustomed to operating an air brush can easily adjust fine spray amounts of liquid paints, etc. by tilting operations of the lever body.
