Patented Mar. 18, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PAINT APPLICATOR WITH A PAIR OF ROLLERS EXTERIOR OF THEIR PAINT SUPPLY RECEPTA CLE Joseph 0. Lee, West Allis, Wis.
Application March 18, 1949, Serial No. 82,086
2 Claims. (01. 15-132.5)
' of paint.
An object of this invention is to apply paint of any known type or description to a wall,
ceiling or other surface by means of operating one or more rollers which are in contact with the surface to be painted, the one or more rollers being fed by means of a feed roller which is disposed below the paint fluid level in a receptacle, the said receptacle having a handle detachably supported thereon for facility of operation.
A feature of the present invention isthe disposition of two rollers, one below the receptacle and the other projecting partially through the open top and open front of the receptacle whereby the paint may be applied evenly and smooth 1y.
Another feature of the present invention is the detachability of one ofthe rollers, it being mounted in simple and suitable slots in the receptacle.
Other objects and features will become ap parent to those skilled in the art, in following the description of the preferred forms of the invention, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of the invention;
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1 and in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of another form of the invention, and;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 3 and in the direction of the arrows.
This invention has a field of utility in applying paint to various surfaces such as walls, ceilings and any other fiat surface wherein it is found desirable. The invention is of the type which includes a continuous feed, that is, a feed roller is disposed at least partially below the fluid level in the paint receiver and is in contact with at least one other roller whereby as the device is rolled along the surface to be painted, the feed roller applies paint to the paint application roller, whereupon it is deposited on the surface to be painted.
Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, the first form of the invention will be discussed. A receptacle generally indicated at it is provided with a bottom, and opposed pairs of walls l4, l6, and I8, 20 respectively. There is an open top in the receptacle and the front wall 20 has a cut away or recessed portion 22 at the top thereof. The entire upper edge of all of the walls is rolled or bent to form a substantial edge as seen at 24.
Fixed to the outside surface of the bottom [0 is a boss 26 which has a handle 28 removably disposed therein. Means for fixing the handle 28 in the boss is provided. This means consists preferably of a set screw 30 which is carried by the boss and operatively engages the handle 28. Hence, the handle is easily removed for one of the larger or smaller size as found desirable.
A feed roller 32 is mounted for rotation within the receptacle and may be journaled in the sides l4 and I6 by any suitable conventional means. This feed roller is adapted to be disposed partially within the paint as disclosed in Figure 2. The roller 32 has a cover 34 thereon contacting the cover 36 of the roller 38.
The roller 38 is the paint application roller and is carried by the sides l4 and [6 of the receptacle by means of wing nuts 40 or a suitable equivalent removably disposed on the ends of the shaft 42 disposed in the said roller 38 and passed through openings in brackets 48, fixed to said sides.
The roller 38 projects above the upper edge of the walls I4, l6 and 18 respectively and outwardly of the front wall 2|]. It is disposed in the recess of the said wall 20, thereby spacing the wall 20 from the surface to be painted during the operation of this form of the invention.
A third roller 44 which has a cover 46 thereon is mounted for rotation beneath the bottom of the receptacle In and in the pair of brackets 48. These brackets are fixed to the outside surface of the walls l4 and 16 by means of rivets or the like. The rollers 44 and 38 respectively are in a single vertical plane to insure proper operation of the device. The function of the third roller is to smooth the paint and act as a follow-up roller.
Referring nowto Figure 3 and 4 respectively the second form of the invention is illustrated. There is a receptacle generally indicatedat 50 which includes a bottom 52 and opposed sides '54, 56 and 58, 60. The top edges of all of the sides are rolled or folded over for strengthening purposes as seen at 62. A boss 64 is carried by the undersurface of the bottom 52 and. is identical with the boss 26. The set screw 66 carried by the boss 64 is identical to the set screw 30 and serves the same function, that is to retain the handle 28 removably connected with the receptacle 50.
A feed roller 10 is mounted for rotation within the receptacle and is identical to the said feed roller 32. A paint application roller 12 is carried by the sides 54 and 56 respectively and is in itself identical to the application roller 38. The paint application roller 12 and the feed roller are in frictional contact in order that rotation of the roller 72 as it is being passed over the surface being painted, is imparted to the feed roller 10. The shaft 14 (Fig. 4) is carried by the roller 12 and projects through vertical slots 76 and 18 respectively which are formed in mem bers adjacent the upper edges of the sides 54 and L 56 respectively. By this expedient the roller 12 is easily detached either for replacement, repair or for any other reason.
In connection with, the form of invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, a guard 85 is disposed between the roller M and the handle 28 and is used for the purpose of preventing splashing of paint on the hand of the user of the device.
This guard is shown as trough shaped and extends around a part of the roller 34, but may be made in different shapes as desired by the manufacturer. Also the guard may be fixed to various elements to support it such as the botom of the receptacle .(Fig. 2).
In operation either form of the invention may be put to use in many different types of jobs. Obviously, the embodiment of the invention shpwn in Figures 1 and 2 is primarily useful in connection with applying paint to a wall or other elevated element or surface. However, this embodiment of the invention may be used in connection with ceilings as well as Walls or any other desired surface, this being dictated pri 'marily by the user of the invention after purinvention. Accordingly limitation is sought only in accordance with the scope of the following claims;
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is as follows:
1. In a continuous feed paint applicator comprising a receptacle having sides, a bottom and an open top, a paint application roller carried by said receptacle and projecting through said .open top, a feed roller mounted for rotation in said receptacle and contacting said application roller, a third roller disposed beneath the bottom of said receptacle in vertical alignment with said application roller so as to coact with the latter to smooth the paint and thus serve as a follow up roller, and brackets secured to and depending from at least two of said sides and supporting said third roller and said application roller.
2. A continuous feed paint applicator comprising a receptacle having sides, a bottom and an open top, a handle operatively connected with said receptacle, a' paint application roller carried by said receptacleand projecting through said open top, a feed roller mounted for rotation in said receptacle and contacting said application roller, a third roller disposed beneath the bottom REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file ofthis patent:
