Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of painting. More particularly, it pertains to a multiple compartment carrying tray with the ability to maintain a level surface on a pitched roof, thus allowing your hands to be free for safety and preventing spillage. Also, by removing the locking pin which separates the elevation device from the carrying tray, it can be used on a flat surface.
- the design of the Painters Pal comes from some thirty years in the construction business. I, along with the many people who have worked for me, have been on many roofs, either painting gables or fascia, or repairing the roof. It was always a challenge to do the job and not spill the paint or fall off the roof because your hands were full; paintbrush in one hand and the paint or tar can in the other trying to avoid spilling the contents. By having to hold your paint can and being very careful not to spill paint on the roof, it made the job that much more difficult. With the Painters Pal, this problem is solved. The Painters Pal allows you to be on the roof working with your hands free, to work and making you safer. The Painters Pal is adjustable to the pitch of the roof which keeps your equipment level at all times. Many years of trial and error went into it before it finally came into being what it is today. I know from my thirty years that this tool is needed. The Painters Pal is also designed to be used on ground level while painting doors, baseboard, etc.
- the Painters Pal is provided for carrying painting tools and a can of paint.
- the Painters Pal has exterior walls which are defined in part by a lower surface forming an open rectangular box. Within the box, there are two adjoining walls running from the front exterior to the back exterior wall, thus forming three compartments. Inside the middle compartment there is a recessed round well of significant size for placing a paint can or such other material as a can of roof tar. In the left compartment there is a smaller recessed well of significant size to hold a soft drink can, with sufficient space left for other tools. The third compartment is for the remaining tools such as a paintbrush, scraper, etc. Three compartments are provided along with a carrying handle and leveling device that can be used for keeping the paint can and other equipment level on a pitched roof.
- the Painters Pal provides a simple and easy way to carry tools, including paint, when moving from one area to another, whether on ground level or on a pitched roof.

Abstract
The Painters Pal is a lightweight, portable platform that can be adjusted to a pitched roof, thus allowing it to keep your required painting, but not limited to, equipment level. This allows you to have your hands free for work and safety. The elevation bar and foot, which are detachable, are what allows you to adjust the Painters Pal up and down to achieve the correct pitch; when detached, the Painters Pal can be used on any level surface, creating duality. This tool was designed to assist, but not limited to, a painter. The Painters Pal was designed with three separate compartments so a, but not limited to, one gallon paint can, brush, scraper, rag and even a soft drink can may be transported. With the carrying handle, it can be transported from place to place with no trouble, even up and down a ladder.

The detailed description which follows should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
- The
platform 117 shown inFIG. 1 is generally defined byexterior walls 101 andlower surface 118 which form a frame and box-like shape for theplatform 117. Within theplatform 117 are a plurality ofdivider walls 103 which formindividual compartments 102 within theplatform 117. There are twodividers 103 theexterior walls 101 in combination with thelower surface 118 which form three but not equal in size compartments. -
Compartment 119 which is formed bydivider wall 103 which extends from oneexterior wall 101 in the front toexterior wall 101 in the back and is of sufficient height as to keep, but not limited to, paint equipment separate from one compartment to another and is of sufficient size as to allow a beverage well 105 of sufficient size for, but not limited to, a can drink. The area within the compartment is for, but not limited to, a paint cleaning rag, etc. -
Compartment 121 is of sufficient size to allow, but not limited to, a paint brush, scraper or other materials needed for the project.Compartment 120 is of sufficient size as to allow a well 104 of sufficient size to place, but not limited to, a one gallon paint can. - The
platform 117 is made of, but not limited to, molded plastic, the thickness of which is approximately 0.25 inches. Theplatform 117 is of one piece construction with fourlegs 114. These are provided so theplatform 117 can be used on a level surface as opposed to a pitched roof. Being made of plastic gives theplatform 117 durability. Although other materials can be used to produce theplatform 117 such as metal or wood. -
FIG. 1 shows the platform complete with carryinghandle 106 making theplatform 117 portable. Thegrip 107 also seen in 5-7 ofFIG. 11 andFIG. 12 located center top ofhandle 106 is made, but not limited to, rubber. The twoholes 109 located center bottom ofplatform 117 are for separation of theelevation bar 110 also seen on 4-7 ofFIG. 7-8 of the drawings and thefoot 112 also seen on 4-7 ofFIG. 9-10 . By way of thelocking pin 116 5-7 ofFIG. 14 by removing thelocking pin 116, 5-7 ofFIG. 14 theplatform 117 is now ready to be used on a flat surface. The threadedhole 111 located at the bottom of theelevation bar 110 see also 4-7 ofFIG. 7 andFIG. 8 is for thelocking screw 115 5-7 ofFIG. 13 . This lockingscrew 115 5-7 ofFIG. 13 , by either tightening or loosening the lockingscrew 115 5-7 ofFIG. 13 , allows thefoot 112 also 4-7 ofFIG. 9-10 to slide in and out of theelevation bar 110 also 4-7 ofFIG. 7 andFIG. 8 thus allowing theplatform 117 to be adjusted to the pitch of a roof and be level. Example 6-7 ofFIGS. 15-16 attached to the bottom of thefoot 112, 1-7FIG. 1 also 4-7 ofFIG. 9 andFIG. 10 is, but not limited to, rubberanti-skid pad 113 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . Also 113 6-7 ofFIG. 16 prevents theplatform 117 from sliding or moving while on a pitch roof. -
FIG. 2 2-7 is a front view illustrating theplatform 117 showing thelegs 114 for use on a level surface. Also seen inFIG. 2 2-7 are showing the wells' bottom 104, 105. The drawing clearly shows thewells FIG. 14 . -
FIG. 3 2 of 7 is a top view showing the threecompartments 102 and the twowells FIG. 4 is an end view of 117 the platform 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . The drilledhole 108 is for the mounting of thehandle 106, 3-7 ofFIG. 5 andFIG. 6 of the drawings. Page 3-7 of the drawings shows thehandle 106 in two views, the front view and the end view. The end view shows the drilled hole for mounting to the platform 1-7 ofFIG. 1 117. -
FIG. 7 page 4-6 shows theelevation bar 110 of 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . Theelevation bar 110 being made of, but not limited to, metal has two holes drilled completely through, the size being approximately 0.125 inches. This allows the locking pin 5-7 ofFIG. 14 to go completely through the holes drilled in theplatform 117 1-7 ofFIG. 1 located center bottom 109 securing theelevation bar 110 and thefoot 112FIG. 9-10 to theplatform 117, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 8 shows the top view of theelevation bar 110 as being hollow. This allows thefoot 112FIG. 9-10 to be inserted into theelevation bar 110. The hole drilled in the lower portion of theelevation bar 110 is threaded so the locking screw 5-7 ofFIG. 13 can be tightened or loosened when adjusting theplatform 117, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 to the pitch of the roof you will be working on. -
FIG. 9 andFIG. 10 page 4-7 shows thefoot 112 of 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . Thefoot 112 slides in and out of theelevation bar 110, which is stationary when attached to theplatform 117, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 by way of thelocking pin 116, 5-7 ofFIG. 14 . This allows theplatform 117, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 to be set at the proper pitch for the roof being worked on. Once the proper elevation is achieved thefoot 112 and theelevation bar 110 are secured by way of the locking screw 5-7 ofFIG. 13 . The bottom of thefoot 112 is the same length as the platform is wide as illustrated on 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . This prevents theplatform 117 from tipping over while working or being hit.FIG. 10 shows the top view of thefoot 112 being hollow. -
FIG. 11 5-7 is an end view showing thegrip 107 as being hollow so thehandle 106, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 , can be pushed through to a point that it will set top and center. -
FIG. 12 page 5-7 is thegrip 107 for thehandle 106, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 is made of, but not limited to, rubber, for an easy and secure grip when holding or carrying theplatform 117, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 13 of 5-7 is the locking screw. The locking screw is inserted in the bottom 0.125″ threaded hole in theelevation bar 110, 1-7 ofFIG. 1 .
