PAINT PALETTE SYSTEM
BACKGROUND - FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] This invention relates to a painters tool used for storing, holding and dispensing paints in an improved manner. In particular the invention relates to an improved low profile receptacle apparatus and system to carry paint from one location to another without spillage and to disperse paint to a brush or painting tool.
BACKGROUND - DISCUSSION OF PRIOR ART
[002] A paint palette is a tool typically used by an artist and is used to provide a hand held platform typically made of wood or plastic on which the artist dabs acrylic paint for use when painting.
[003] Typically, this is used only for artist painting upon a canvas and designed for the use of thicker acrylic paint that can be applied in dabs. This system works well for an artist painting in acrylics but a typical artist palette would not be suitable for someone painting a house.
[004] While the artist palette will not generally work for a typical house painter it could offer a painter a useful way and tool to move paint from one location to another without spillage.
[005] Unfortunately, if a mixture of house paints were to be applied to a painters palette, the results would lead to paint running and mixing together.
Additionally, the typical house paint would not easily remain on the palette if the palette were tilted.
Additionally, the typical house paint would not easily remain on the palette if the palette were tilted.
[006] In general, the prior art for painter tools designed to provide a palette tool or like has attempted to create paint palettes by focusing on producing small paint cavities or keeping paint retained within a sponge or a similar material.
[007] Other prior art has utilized porous materials on which dabs of paint are placed, but still utilize a water retentive means such as a sponge material to keep the paint from drying out. None of these systems allows for easy storing and are not designed to retain the paint between extended uses.
[008] Although these types of systems are adequate to maintain the paint dabs in a useable condition for short periods of time, they have a tendency to dry the paint from the top of the sponge, thereby necessitating the user to add water or oil to the palette in order to maintain the paint in a useable condition.
[009] Additionally, house paint is often stored between uses for extended periods of time and typically needs to be transported to the various locations about a house wherein an artist palette typically remains in an art room.
[010] Prior art has not shown us a useful means for transporting and storing or viewing paint colors while in storage. Additionally, the prior art has not provided a truly useful painters tool that allows a painter a truly powerful tools to speed up the painting process in a neat and effective way.
[0111 Thus, there exists a need for a tool that can be used by painters comprising a paint palette system that can maintain paint in a moist and useable condition and also dispense paint to the paintbrush in a simple fashion while being easy to transport and store.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[012] The paint palette system is a new system and tool long needed by painters and fills a need for both professional and non-professional painters. The invention provides an improved way to move paint around the house or up a ladder without spillage.
[013] The paint palette system allows the painter to focus on painting and not on accidental spills or worrying where the paint bucket is located or accidentally knocking over a paint can. Focus can be on painting.
[014] The paint palette system is so mess-free that a child can paint without spilling paint. In testing the paint palette system, the product was loaded with paint and thrown on a rooftop without any loss of paint or spillage.
[015] The paint palette tool system allows for easy storage and reuse of paint. The complete paint palette tool system can be easily stored for extended periods of time in commercially available seal type plastic bags. It can be easily stored and the paint color can be easily viewed when needed again.
[016] The paint palette tool system allows for the painter to worry less about mess and more about painting. The paint palette system allows for less trips to the paint can to reload the paintbrush. The paint palette system also saves the painter clean up and painting time.
[017] A painter can now climb a ladder to paint a roof or elevated area without handling full cans of paint. A painter can even take two or more colors to remote locations without wonying about multiple cans.
[018] The paint palette system offers a unique tool with many add-ons for holding a brush, squeegee or other tools and its novel design offers many improvements for painters and simplifies the painters' life.
[019] Accordingly, several objects and advantages of the disclosed invention are provided including but not limited to an improved system or process wherein a house painter or like professional can paint in a more efficient and faster way.
[020] Other objects and advantages of the invention include providing an apparatus for paint containment and dispensing that is spill proof and easily transported, as well as an apparatus that is easily manageable, carried and sealed for an extended time.
[021] Additionally, the invention discloses an apparatus that can be easily held while transporting paint up and down a ladder and will retain paint even when tipped at an angle. The invention is also a low profile containment apparatus that allows it to be taken into very tight places and stored easily.
[022] Another new and unique advantage of the invention is that multiple colors can be used together without the paints mixing and it can also be set upon a high pitch roof and will not slide off or spill the contained paint.
[023] The apparatus can be tilted at a high degree and be turned upside down onto a drop cloth for an extended period of time to prevent air from drying the contained paint.
[024] When in use, the system will not drip paint on unprotected surfaces.
When used outside the apparatus can be held at any angle away from the sun to shield the paint from drying while painting outdoors. It can also be used to shield the sun out of the painters' eyes without spilling the contained paint.
[025] The invention retains paint and will not spill or drip even when turned upside down and will additionally keep paint from being blown off the brush in windy conditions. This is due to less excess paint to remove from the brush.
[026] Because of the improved design of the invention the brush is loaded with paint in an improved fashion and the brush, roller, or other painting tools become easier to use and better disperses the paint. Less paint is wasted.
[027] Paint storage also becomes easier, due to the low profile. The whole palette system can be contained in a commercially available plastic bag allowing for extended storage times between uses and additionally the clear plastic allows for ease of viewing paint colors stored.
[028] Additionally, use of the apparatus minimizes the use of drop cloths because of its spill resistant design. Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.
[029] Certain accessories may also be added to the invention as described and may include a strap across the base of the container so that a user may slide their hand between the strap and the container base. Other accessories may include a Squeegee, covering means and add-on attachments for managing a paint brush or other tools.
[030] The paint palette system may have different design configurations, including side walls that may be substantially perpendicular to the base or may be angled outwardly at a I5-degree angle.
[031] Paint palette system may additionally have a circular or squared shape and may have adjustable or non-adjustable handle and may have a formed textured surface or formed extensions for holding a paintbrush.
[032] Paint palette system may additionally be configured to fit either a 1-gallon or 5-gallon paint container wherein the paint palette system additionally acts as a lid to said containers.
[033] The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon the consideration of the following detailed description of the invention.
