Description
Dec. 6, 1949 F. w. RUBIN PAN HAVING APPLICATOR CONTACT BOARD FRICTIONALLY SUPPORTED THEREIN Filed Sept. 24, 1945 INVENTOR.
HTTZK/YfF-Z Patented Dec. 6, 1949 UNITED STATES ifATENT UFFI'CE PAN HAVING APPLTCATOR CONTACTBOAR'D FRICTIONALLY SUPPORTED TI-HEREIN 1 Claim. "1
This invention pertains towa paint applicator pan particularly useful in roller'application of casein paint and the like. It isthe object of the invention to provide a convenient arrangement in connection with a paint retaining pan for applying and spreading the paint contained therein over the surface of the applicator roller withproper diffusion and surface film for even distribution .over the surface to be covered.
The invention is particularlyapplicable to the application of casein 'paint to'a'surface, such as a wall or ceiling, and wherein the paint is extremely liquid and runny. This isgenerally done by use of a roller having an absorbent covering which isdipped. into the'ipaint and rolled over the surface for application thereof. "However,
it is necessary to use extreme care in getting proper distribution of the paint over the roller without excess quantities of the extremely runny liquid, such as would drip and smear when applying. It is, therefore, the purpose of this invention to provide a convenient paint applicating pan with which the roller may be used, to permit the use of a substantial quantity of the liquid paint, to provide therein means for distributin the paint over the surface of the roller and at the same time remove excess paint therefrom.
This is accomplished by providing a comparatively shallow pan of substantial area in which an inclined perforated adjustable applicator board is mounted to extend at an angle so that a portion of its applicator surface is below the level of the paint while the major portion thereof extends above the paint level. The board being slightly wider than the roller and at an incline permits the roller to be rolled along the board into the paint to a slight depth and then rolled over the exposed surface of the board for distributing and removing excess paint therefrom.
Another feature of the invention resides in the construction of the pan in respect to the bail or handle and the provision of a supporting bracket for conveniently mounting it in useable position on a stepladder or the like.
The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claim:
Figure 1 is a transverse section through the applicator pan and support therefor, showing the applicator board in lowermost position.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the pan with the applicator board in tilted operable position.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the applicator pan with the board mounted therein.
In the drawings there is shown a-rectangular pan it having bottom, side and end walls for receiving liquid coating material, such as casein paint, to varying levels, as indicated at H. Said pan is of the proper width to receive the usual applicator roller indicated ''by dotted lines at 12 having a handle 3. It is of sufficient length to permit appreciable rolling action of the applicator roller therein. Slidably and adjustably mounted within the pan there is an applicator board it perforated at +5 to provide a paint spreading surface for the ro1ler l2. Securedto each end of said board there is a handle bracket is extending. upwardly andinwardly at an angle to the board for providing a cross bar handle H by which the boardmay be ad justed-:or removed.
Said applicator board I4 is adjustably supported at varying elevations and angles relative to the bottom of the pan and the level of the paint contained therein, by the friction bearing springs !8. One of said bearing springs is provided at each corner of the board, anchored thereto at its lower end by one of the brackets it. Each of said springs extends outwardly and upwardly from the end corners of the board and is slightly bowed to frictionally engage and bear against the end walls of the pan. As illustrated in Fig. 2, said springs are adapted to support the board in a tilted position or at any desired angle with respect to the level of the paint. It is preferably adjusted so that one end is slightly submerged in the paint with the greater portion of the surface of the board extending upwardly thereabove.
This arrangement is such that with the proper elevation and angle of the board through the adjustability thereof due to the bearing springs, the applicator roller l2 may be rolled back and forth over the surface of the board. With the rolling action the board is sufilciently submerged to permit the surface of the roller to enter the paint to a slight degree sufiicient to give it at least a partial bath, whereupon it is rolled over the exposed surface of the board to spread a film of paint thereover. Excess paint, which may be thus spread over the surface of the board, is drained through the perforations l5, so that only enough paint remains thereon to be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the roller without undue accumulation such as to cause smearing and dripping.
The pan is provided with a pivotally mounted bail is extending over the top thereof and of U-shaped form. The legs of the U-shaped bail are pivoted centrally to the upper portion of the end walls of the pan at 20. Said legs of the ball extend downwardly from their pivotal connection with the pan, terminating in an outwardly extending fingerhold latch Zl located near the bottom of the pan. Said downwardly extending portions of the arms are spring acting to yieldingly and normally interlock when the bail is in operative position, in a central recessed portion 22 of the bars 23 respectively, there being an interlocking bar 23 rigidly secured to each end of the pan adjacent to the bottom thereof. This permits the bail to be firmly positioned when the pan is carried, without danger of tilting, while permitting it to be swung to one side of the pan when the pan is in use.
To support the pan when applying paint there is provided a platform 24 having an upstanding end portion 25, upon which the pan may be seated. Said platform is mounted upon the bracket 26 which is U-shaped at one end to provide a spaced lip 2'! to embrace a support such as the top of a stepladder, as indicated at 28. Thus, the platform may be firmly secured in overhanging relation upon the support or stepladder, as indicated in Fig. 1, to permit of convenient access thereto.
While one embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it is to be understood that the inventive idea can be carried out in a number of ways. This application is, therefore, not to be limited to the precise details described, but is intended to cover all variations and modifications thereof falling within the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.
The invention claimed is:
A paint applicator device including a pan '4 having bottom, side and end walls for containing a supply of liquid paint to be applied by an applicator roller, a perforated drainage board mounted within said pan at an angle to the bottom thereof for rolling surface engagement by said roller, one end of said board being submersed in the supply of liquid paint and the other end extending thereabove, and a spring friction element secured to each end of said board having frictional bearing engagement with the opposed end walls of said pain for adjustably supporting said board in its angular relation to said pan and the liquid supp y therein.
