Abstract

The invention provides:
Easy to tear painter's tape that tears in a straight line. The tape has perforated holes tear lines that allow the painter to tear the tape where wanted, and in a straight line.
This patent assures clean straight lines and more time efficiency when taping.
Not only is less time wasted trying to tear the tape in straight lines, but less tape is wasted, overall, as there is no need for additional taping/layering in the effort to cover exposed areas that the painter does not want to paint.
OR this abstract:
The idea for this patent has its roots in difficulty encountered when trying to tear painter's tape in a straight line. Additionally, in doing so, it was observed that a lot of painter's tape was being wasted, as multiple layers of tape would be applied to effectively cover the areas needing covering. The painter's perforated tape is to come in various widths (small, medium and large), to accommodate the variation in widths of the surfaces needing to be covered.
Specification This patent relates to everyday interior/exterior painting of walls and varying surfaces that include, but are not limited to drywall, wood, and siding). This tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape on the market such as Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape, where the tape is made of the same material so as to offer the same adhesive properties, however, the addition of perforated vertical lines eliminates the challenges involved in tearing painter's tape in straight lines when preparing surfaces for painting. Specifically, the Smart Tape tears in straight clean lines, thus making preparing surfaces to paint easier, faster, and neater.

(A) PERFECT LINES SMART TAPE
Abstract The invention provides:

2 Perfect Lines Smart Tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape (e.g., Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape) performance. Currently there is no painter's tape on the global market that has perforated lines to allow for straight-line tearing.
Nature of Perfect Lines Smart Tape Perfect Lines Smart Tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape (e.g.
Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape) performance, where the tape is made of the same material so as to offer the same adhesive properties, however, the addition of the perforated lines, makes tearing straight lines faster, easier and cleaner.
Inventive idea:
Painter's tape on the market today, does not allow for a straight-line tear except for with the aid of an additional angle tool such as a scraper or blade, and even then, the cut may not be precise. Perfect Lines Smart Tape with its vertical perforated lines, spaced at 1/2 cm intervals allows the painter to apply the tape and tear it off along a perforated line exactly where desired, without having to depend on an angle tool. In addition to this increase in precision when taping, the tear line is straight and clean cut. The advantage of using Perfect Lines Smart Tape is that this would allow for better precision, straight lines and a significant reduction in the time taken to tear/cut straight lines in painter's tape.

In the drawings, which illustrate the embodiments of the invention:
Figure 1 shows the Perfect Lines Smart Tape in standard 3 painter's tape widths of small, medium and large. The perforated lines across each tape width are 1/2 cm apart throughout the tape. As with standard painter's tape on the market today, one side of the tape is smooth, and the underside is slightly adhesive to allow for quick adhesion for painting yet is easy to remove (is not permanent).
Claims The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed, are defined as follows:
A perforated painter's tape for interior and exterior painting of a variety of surfaces that include but are not limited to drywall, plaster, wood, and siding, that allows the painter to tear the tape in straight clean lines where desired.

3 (B) ELBOW SMART TAPE
Abstract This patent provides:
Easy to apply painter's elbow tape that can fit into or around any corner area when preparing the surface for painting.
This patent assures clean straight lines and more time efficiency when taping corners. Not only is less time wasted trying to tear painter's tape to fit around or into corners, but less tape is wasted overall as there is no need for additional taping/layering to cover exposed areas that the painter does not want to paint.
OR this abstract:
The idea for this patent has its roots in experiencing frustration when trying to adjust/tear painter's tape to fit perfectly into corner spaces, and when trying to cover corner shaped areas that were not to be painted, for example stair baseboards. Elbow shaped painter's tape can fit perfectly in any corner area one is painting to allow for easy corner taping.
For example, around doorframes, where baseboards meet the wall/door frame, where stairs meet etc.
Additionally, I
observed a lot of painter's tape being wasted as more and more tape would be applied to the areas needing covering, before the areas were effectively covered.
The Elbow Smart Tape is to come in various widths (small, medium, and large) to account for the variation in widths of corner surfaces needing coverage.
Specification This patent relates to everyday interior/exterior painting of walls and varying surfaces that include but are not limited to drywall, wood, and siding). This tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape such as Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape, where the tape is made of the same material so as to offer the same adhesive properties; however, the creation of the Elbow Smart Tape eliminates the challenges involved in taping corner spaces.
Specifically, the Elbow Smart Tape fits into or over all corner spaces with a quick press-on, thus making covering corner spaces easier, faster and neater.

4 This patent relates to everyday interior/exterior painting of walls and varying surfaces (such as drywall, plaster, siding, wood floors, stairs etc.).
Currently there is no painter's tape on the global market that comes in the shape of an elbow to allow for precision taping of the inside or outside of corner surfaces.
Nature of Elbow Smart Tape This tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape (e.g., Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape) performance, where the tape is made of the same material so as to offer the same adhesive properties, however, the addition of a peel-off Elbow Tape feature makes the taping of the inside or outside of corners easier, faster, cleaner, and more precise.
Inventive idea:
Painter's tape on the market today, does not allow for easy taping of corners except for with the aid of an additional angle tool such as a scraper or blade. Elbow Smart Tape shaped to fit in or over a corner surface, allows the painter to apply the tape into a corner without the use of a tool. Additionally, the elbow tape has straight and clean-cut lines. The advantage of using Elbow Smart Tape is that this would allow for a significant reduction in the time taken to tear/cut clean lines in painters tape when taping in or over corner spaces.
Full description:
In the drawings which illustrate the embodiments of the invention:
Figure 2.a) shows the Elbow Smart tape, where the tape is in the shape of an elbow. As with standard painter's tape on the market today, one side of the tape is smooth, and the underside is slightly adhesive to allow for quick adhesion for painting without permanency.
Figure 2. b) demonstrates how the Elbow Smart Tape is packaged for the consumer. The tape can come in a roll or in packages of 100 where the Elbows interlock on a smooth peel-off surface band to allow for easy peel off.
Both Figure 2. a) and 2. b) show Elbow Smart Tape in standard 3 painter's tape widths of small, medium, and large.
Claims The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed, are defined as follows:

5 Elbow-shaped painter's tape for interior and exterior painting of a variety of surfaces that include but is not limited to drywall, plaster, wood and siding, that allows the painter to press-on corner tape in or over corner spaces that are to be covered.
C) LIP SMART TAPE
Abstract The invention provides:
Easy to apply painter's lip tape that can fit around any curved area when applying paint/varnish around the area. This patent assures clean curve fit and more time efficiency when taping. Not only is less time wasted trying to tear painter's tape to fit around a curved area, for example window lips, stair lips, less tape is wasted overall as there is no need for additional taping/layering to cover exposed areas that the painter does not want to paint.
OR this abstract:
The idea for this patent has its roots in experiencing frustration when trying to adjust/tear painter's tape to fit perfectly around the curves of surfaces that were not to be painted, for example windowsills and stair lips. Curve-shaped painter's tape can fit perfectly around any curve one is painting to allow for easy curve taping. Additionally, I observed a lot of painter's tape being wasted as more and more tape would be applied to the areas needing to be covered, before the areas were effectively covered.
The painter's Lip Smart Tape is to come in various widths (small, medium and large) to account for the variation in widths of curved surfaces needing to be covered.
Specification This patent relates to everyday interior/exterior painting of walls and varying surfaces that include but are not limited to drywall, plaster, wood, and siding). This tape is an improvement on existing painter's tape (e.g., Scotch Blue and Frog painter's tape), where the tape is made of the same material so as to offer the same adhesive properties, however, the creation of the painter's lip press-on tape, makes taping curved shaped surface areas faster, neater and easier.
