Description
- This application claims priority of Taiwanese Application Nos. 097219220 and 098205662, filed on Oct. 28, 2008 and Apr. 8, 2009, respectively.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a paint applicator, more particularly to a paint applicator that moves stably and that paints uniformly.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , aconventional paint applicator 1 is shown to comprise ahollow handle 11, amain body 12, and abrush layer 13. Thehollow handle 11 defines a paint-entry passage 111 extending along the length thereof. Themain body 12 defines apaint chamber 121 communicating fluidly with the paint-entry passage 111. Thebrush layer 13 is provided on a bottom side of themain body 12, and is composed of a plurality ofbristles 131. In use, paint (not shown) is poured into the paint-entry passage 111, and flows into thepaint chamber 121. From thepaint chamber 121, the paint flows out of thebrush layer 13, and is coated onto a particular surface of an object. However, because the paint flows directly from thepaint chamber 121 to thebrush layer 13, uneven distribution of the paint coated onto the surface of the object usually occurs. - Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a paint applicator that is capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- According to this invention, a paint applicator comprises a hollow handle, a housing, a non-permeable resilient body, a permeable foamed body, and a brush layer. The hollow handle defines a paint-entry passage. The housing is connected to the handle, and has a first wall, and a second wall cooperating with the first wall to define a paint chamber that communicates fluidly with the paint-entry passage. The second wall has a plurality of first paint exit holes communicating fluidly with the paint chamber. The non-permeable resilient body covers the second wall, and includes a plurality of second paint exit holes aligned respectively with the first paint exit holes. The permeable foamed body covers the non-permeable resilient body. The brush layer is attached to the permeable foamed body, and is composed of a plurality of bristles.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional paint applicator; -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a paint applicator according to the first preferred embodiment of this invention; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the first preferred embodiment; and -
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of a paint applicator according to the second preferred embodiment of this invention. - Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have been used to denote like elements throughout the specification.
- Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , apaint applicator 200 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown to comprise ahollow handle 20, ahousing 30, a non-permeableresilient body 5, a permeablefoamed body 6, and abrush layer 7. - The
hollow handle 20 defines a paint-entry passage 21 that extends along the length thereof. - The
housing 30 is connected to an end of the handle 2, and includes a firstrectangular housing half 3 having afirst wall 31, and a secondrectangular housing half 4 having asecond wall 41 that is connected detachably to a bottom side of thefirst wall 31 and that cooperates with thefirst wall 31 to define apaint chamber 400. Thefirst wall 31, in this embodiment, is formed with athrough hole 311 communicating fluidly with the paint-entry passage 21 and thepaint chamber 400. Thesecond wall 41 is formed with a plurality of firstpaint exit holes 411 communicating fluidly with thepaint chamber 400. - The non-permeable
resilient body 5 is disposed on a bottom side of thesecond wall 41 and covers the same, and includes a plurality of secondpaint exit holes 51 aligned respectively with the firstpaint exit holes 411. In this embodiment, the non-permeableresilient body 5 is a foamed body, but may be made of other resilient materials, and is not limited thereto. - The permeable
foamed body 6 is disposed on a bottom side of the non-permeableresilient body 5 and covers the same. - The
brush layer 7 is attached to a bottom side of the permeablefoamed body 6, and is composed of a plurality ofbristles 71. - In use, paint is poured into the paint-
entry passage 21, and flows into thepaint chamber 400. From thepaint chamber 400, the paint flows down through the firstpaint exit holes 411, the secondpaint exit holes 51, the permeablefoamed body 6, and into thebrush layer 7, so that the paint can be coated onto an outer surface of a particular object (not shown). - Through the presence of the first and second
paint exit holes paint chamber 400 until the internal pressure thereof is higher than the external pressure thereof, only then will the paint flow out from thepaint chamber 400, so that uniform flow of the paint can be realized. Further, through the presence of the permeablefoamed body 6, forces acting between thepaint applicator 200 and the particular object can be effectively absorbed by the permeablefoamed body 6 during painting, so that smooth use of thepaint applicator 200 can be achieved. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , apaint applicator 200′ according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown to be similar to the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the first andsecond walls 31′, 41′ of the respective first andsecond housing halves 3′, 4′ of thehousing 30′ are tubular, and thefirst wall 31′ is formed with a plurality of the throughholes 311 communicating fluidly with the paint-entry passage 21 and thepaint chamber 400. Hence, thesecond wall 41′ extends around thefirst wall 31′, the non-permeableresilient body 5′ surrounds thesecond wall 41′, the permeablefoamed body 6′ surrounds the non-permeableresilient body 5′, and thebrush layer 7′ extends around the permeablefoamed body 6′. In this embodiment, thepaint applicator 200′ is configured as a roller paint applicator. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretations and equivalent arrangements.
