Definitions

  • This invention relates to a universal tool holder for a painters' extension handle.
  • extension handles are known which by virtue of their conical end enable normal rollers to be mounted for painting walls and/or ceilings without having to use ladders or trestles.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide at the end of the extension handle, or to be positioned on it, a device able to receive without distinction a roller carrier, a large brush or any other finishing tool without a handle, so that the surface can be finished in difficultly accessible positions.
  • a further object is to provide a positioning device or a tool holder for a painters' extension handle which is particularly simple to use and construct, and is of relatively low cost.
  • a universal tool holder for a painters' extension handle characterised by comprising a first element and a second element which are pivoted and rotatable one on the other and are provided with means for their locking in any mutual position which they are made to assume by the user, said first element being arranged at one end of an extension handle and said second element being a support element for a painters' tool.
  • the first element is a fit-on element, mountable on one end of said extension handle
  • the second element is a support element for one of said painters' tools, said support element comprising both an annular extension in the form of a sleeve and a second support element of frusto-conical shape.
  • a universal tool holder for a painters' extension handle generally comprises essentially a first element indicated overall by 11, and a second element indicated overall by 12, these being pivoted together.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a tool holder according to the present invention in which the first element 11 is of the fit-on type and comprises a hollow frusto-conical body 13.
  • the body 13 can be mounted on a complementarily conical end 14 of a painters' extension handle 15, shown partially. From the top of the frusto-conical body 13 there extend, perpendicular thereto, two spaced-apart parallel lugs 16 with their free ends rounded, and provided with through transverse holes to receive a pivot in the form of the bolt of a wing nut and bolt assembly 17.
  • the second element 12 is a support element and consists of a lug 18 to be inserted between the two lugs 16 and also provided with a through transverse hole to receive the bolt of the wing nut and bolt assembly 17. From said lug 18 there laterally extends an annular extension 19 of sleeve form to receive the handle 20 of a tool such as a brush ( Figure 3) or the support element of a roller or other painting or painters' tool.
  • the annular sleeve extension 19 is provided with a locking screw 21 which is inserted radially into it and acts on the handle or on the support element 20 of the tool when inserted into the annular extension 19.
  • This second support element 26 is arranged to receive for example a hollow handle (not shown) of a roller or other painters' tool.
  • recesses 27 extending along generators of its outer surface.
  • a tool holder such as that described according to the present invention is positioned on the end 14 of the painters' extension handle 15, its angular position can be set to an angle ⁇ , for example as shown in Figure 3, by firstly slackening the wing nut 17.
  • the wing nut 17 is tightened to achieve a stable mutual positioning of the fit-on element 11 and the support element 12.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a further embodiment of a tool holder according to the present invention in which equal parts are indicated by the same reference numerals.
  • annular sleeve extension 19 forming part of the second support element 12, into which the handle 20 (not shown) of a tool or the like can be inserted.
  • This handle is locked therein by the presence of two spaced-apart locking screws 21 acting radially within the sleeve extension 19, and consisting in the embodiment of Figures 4 and 5 of knobs provided with a threaded shank.
  • a plate 25 Perpendicular to the lugs 18 there is again provided a plate 25 from which a second support element 26 extends.
  • the plate 25 and that part of the support element 26 connected to it are partly removed in the part opposite that in which the annular sleeve extension 19 is located, to create a recessed region 34.
  • the presence of the recessed region 34 enables the first element 11 and the second element 12 to be mutually rotated to a greater extent, up to an angle ⁇ of 120°.
  • Figure 4 also shows that the second support element 26 can either receive within its hollow central portion 28 a tool handle 29, not shown, or can externally receive a hollow handle 30, shown by dashed and dotted lines.
  • Figure 6 shows an alternative form of a detail of the universal tool holder according to the invention in which one end of an extension handle 15 is hollow and internally threaded at 31 to receive a shank 32 externally threaded at 33.
  • the shank 32 extends lowerly from a fit-on element 11 which at its top is also provided with lugs 16.
  • Figure 7 shows a further alternative embodiment of the tool holder according to the present invention in which the first element 11 is formed directly by the end portion of an extension handle 15, which is shaped at its free end as a lug 16 provided with a through transverse hole for connection to the support element 12, which as in the other embodiments comprises an annular sleeve extension 19 and a second support element 26.
  • a universal tool holder for a painters' extension handle hence provides maximum versatility in the positioning of the painters' tool, which in addition can be easily and immediately replaced.
