PAINTERS MASKING SHIELD Filed July 17, 1940 2 Sheecs-Sheet 2 Patented July 21, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PAINTERS SHIELD Application July 17, 1940, Serial No. 346,062
6 Claims. (01. 91--65) This invention relates to painters masking shields and is particularly adapted to be used by painters for shielding base boards, window casings, mouldings and window glass while painting surrounding areas.
The primary object of the invention is to con-' struct a shield for covering parts not being painted, the'same being held in place byvacuum cups, these cups being mounted to the shield with a self-adjusting mounting.
Another object of the-invention is to construct a shield that may be adapted to different shaped surfaces, because of its special shape and design together with being held in place by a universal mounting means.
A further object of the invention is to provide means of removing the shield without smearing the finished work.
And a still further object of the invention is to construct a shield of such shape and design as to permit placing each shield end to end.
These and other incidental objects will be apparent in the drawings, specification and claims.
Referring to th drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary front view of a window sash combination, having my new and im proved painters masking shield applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a sectional view, taken on line 22 of Figure 1, shownin perspective.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary front view of a wall and baseboard having my shield applied thereto.
Figure 4 is an end sectional view of the shield and baseboard shown in perspective.
Figure 5 is a perspective end view of my new and improved shield.
Figure 6 is an inverted view of Figure 5.
Figure 7 is a sectional end view of the shield, taken through the holding mechanism for holding the shield to any surface.
Figure 8 is a fragmentary view of the shield, illustrating the holding means removed therefrom.
In the drawings:
My invention consists of a special shaped shield I. This shield consists of a main body portion 2 having a right angle bend 3 continuing throughout its length on one side and having an obtuse angle bend 4 on its opposite side reversed back to a parallel plane at 5 to the main body 2. A still further off-set 6 is made, the purpose of which will be described later.
Referring to Figures 3 and 4 I show my new and improved shield applied to a baseboard, or it may be applied in like manner to window casings, door casings and so forth. It will be noted III in which the'vacuum cup II operates.
that the right angle bend 3 rests on the top edge of the board 1 and bears against the wall surface 8. The obtuse angle bend 9 off-sets the main body portion 2 suflicient for a working clearance The vacuum cup I I has an outwardly extending stem I2, passing through the shield and terminating in a knob I4. A suitable tension spring It bears against the shield at I1 and underneath the knob I 4 and the raised portion I9 of the shield. Herein resides one of the important features of my invention, the flexibility of compression against the shield and the vacuum cup retaining mechanism adapting the holding vacuum cup mechanism to a number of different applications of the shield. The right angle bend 3 shields the baseboard at the casing I from the paint being applied to the wall surface 8. The off-set angle 6 makes it easier to apply a fiat shield 25 underneath my new and improved shield I.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, I show a shield applied to a window sash. In this particular instance the straight edge 20 fits into the corner 2| between the window glass and the edge 22 of sash 23 so that if the edge is painted the straight edge 20 will prevent paint reaching the glass, the vacuum cup II holds the shield I against the glass along the straight edge 20 while the angle 3 bears against the glass on its opposite edge.
In this case it will be noted that the stem I2 is at an angle to the body portion 2 of the shield I, but the raised portion I9 permits the spring to seat thereon permitting the stem to work at an angle to the shield body 2. A cut-out 24 permits the insertion of a sharp pointed instrument for removing the shield from the glass by prying out on the instrument which rests against the glass underneath the shield. The design of my new and improved shield permits the lapping of one shield over another, best shown in Figures 1 and 3 for extending the length of the shield surface. By having the edge 20 of the shield contacting the glass, as shown in Figure 2, the paint will not run or smear the glass when the shield is removed from the work. To remove the shield from the baseboard a special sharp pointed tool may be inserted in the hole 26 and pried outwardly from the baseboard I by relieving the vacuum cup.
There are many diflerent types of applications that my new and improved painters masking shield may be adapted to, but as stated before the fact that the same is shaped in the form described and that the fastening means, such as vacuum cups are flexibly mounted to the shield, the shield is adapted to be applied to most any combination. v
I do not wish to be limited to the particular mechanical construction shown, as other mechanical embodiments may be employed still coming within the scope of the claims to follow.
WhatIclaim is:
1. A painters masking shield, comprisingan elongated body, with one edge substantially at right angles to the plane of the body and the opposing edge at an obtuse angle "thereto, and vacuum cup attaching 'me'ans, having universal connection with the body to permitthe attaching means to be at any one of ;a number of different angles to the body for attaching purposes.
2. A painters masking shield, comprising an elongated body of substantially flat :form, one edge of the body being turned atnright angles to the flat form, the oppositeedge being arranged at an obtuse angle to the flat. form, with the obtuse angle portion having an outstanding projection arranged substantially in parallelism with the body.
.3. A painters masking shield, comprising a body having edge formations at relatively different angles, vacuum cups for connecting the body, a stem projecting from the vacuum cups and extending through a relatively enlarged opening in the body, the body having a flaring raised portion surrounding the opening to permit substantially universal movement of the stem with respect to the body, and spring pressure means for forcing the body toward the cups.
4. A construction as defined in claim 3, wherein the edges of the body are formed adjacent the vacuum cups with openings to permit the introduction of a tool for dislodging the vacuum cups.
.5. A painters masking shield comprising an elongated body having a right angle bend along one of its edges and an off-set straight edge, said ofiset straight edge being in a different plane from that of the right angle bend on its opposite side, and having a holding means combined therewith, said holding means adjustably mounted thereto.
6. A painters masking shield comprising an elongated shield in combination with vacuum cup holding means, said vacuum cup being'universally andadjustably mounted onthe shield.
