UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PAINT APPLICATOR Charles ODonnell, Rockaway Beach, N. Y.
Application June 11, 1949, Serial No. 98,428
1 Claim.
This` invention relates to a paint applicator.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a paint applicator which can be used in different positions and wherein there is provided a roller for effecting the transfer of paint from the principal paint roller to the applying roller and wherein a simple handling arrangement may be had for the locating of the rollers in the operating positions upon the surfaces to which the paint is to be applied.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a paint applicator which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, compact, prevents paint loss and efficient in operation.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed descriptionrtaken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of one form of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a modified form of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of the handle construction of the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view partly in section showing the invention as shown in Fig. 2 being used upon a side Wall, the paint container adapted to contain the paint below the end of the paint supplying roll.
Fig. 6 is an illustrative View showing the use of the paint applicator upon a ceiling.
Fig. 7 is an illustrative view showing the use of the paint applicator upon a oor surface.
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary and sectional View of a modified form of the invention wherein a hand knob is connected to one of the rollers for effecting the turning of the same.
Referring now to the figures, I5 represents a tray adapted to contain paint to be applied to a surface area. This tray has a closed end portion I 6 with a depending projection I1, Fig. 5. Through this depending projection I1 there is extended an operating rod or support I8 to which is secured a paint roller I9 having a covering 2| adapted to absorb paint. This rod I8 is journalled on the projection I1 so as to permit the roller I9 to be turned. As the roller turns, it will pick up paint. Extending outwardly from the tray is a piping 22 which is secured to a T tting 23 of a supporting pipe 24. This pipe 24 has a T iitting 25 from which a pipe 26 extends for connection with a handle member 21. This handle member is made xed to the pipe 26 by a set screw 28. By using the handle 21, the roller I9 can be brought to bear upon a surface to be covered with the paint. By the movement of the roller thereover, paint will be taken from the tray I5 and distributed upon the surface being painted.
In order to perfect the painting operation a second` roller, as indicated at 3|, may be used. This second roller can be adjusted to transfer paint from the roller I9 and used for engagement with the surface being coated, Fig. '7, or the roller 3| can be used independently of the roller I3 without contacting with the same and as a mere smoothing and nishing roller, Fig. 6. In order that control can be had of this roller from the handle 21, there isV provided Within the pipe 24 a shafting 33 having an elbow 34 from which extends a pivot shaft 35, Fig. 2. According to the form of the invention shown in Fig; 2, this shaft 33 is adapted to be worked through the pipe 24 and this action is effected by a bell crank 36 engaging with a pin 31 on the shaft 33 and jpivotally connected to a bracket 38 xed to pipe 23. This crank 36 has a handle portion 38 which lies adjacent the handle 21. A spring 39 will return the bell crank lever 36 to the elevated position so that the roller 3| may be brought out of contact with the roller I9. On the shaft 33 is a set screw 4| which lies within a slot 42 of the pipe 43, Fig. 3, and will keep the pipe 33a and. the roller 3| from turning.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, a sort pipe 33a slides in the short pipe 43 which is iixed to the tting 23. A rod 33 is connected to this short pipe 33a by a set screw 4 I and this set screw lies in slot 42 to keep the pipe 33a and the roller 3| from turning. The pipe 33a and the rod 33 can have sliding movement through the piping and by a pull upwardly on a handle structure 40, Fig. 3, the roller 3| can be brought to bear upon roller I9 in the manner illustrated in Fig. '1. The end of the rod 33 has a ange 33 which will be engaged by the handle structure 40 to effect a pull upon the rod 33. If desired, to swing the roller 3| away from the roller I9, the roller 3| can be moved. so that the set screw 4| can leave slot 42 and abut the end of the short pipe 43, sufficient play being had between the handle structure 4i) and the flange 33". In Fig. 3 the elements 40, 40', and 43h forming the handle structure are located together as a unit by the set screw 48. Also this handle structure is slidably carried by the rod 33. Movement of the handle structure upwardly, as viewed in Fig. 3, will slide the handle structure along the rod 33 until the handle structure engages the flange 33" carried by the said rod. Continued movement of the handle structure will then move the rod 33 along with it and thereby cause engagement between the rollers SI, I9. To disengage the rollers, the palm of the hand is placed over the end of the knob 49h and pushed downwardly, as viewed in Fig. 3, whereupon the handle structure and the rod 33 will move in the direction to disengage the rollers, with the handle structure coming to rest against the f1tting 25. The space shown between the end of the inner sleeve 40 and the flange 33" is provided so that the ange 33" alone may be pushed into the knob 4Gb so as to cause movement of the set screw 4I entirely out of the slot 42.
The pipe 22 is fixed to the end of the tray I5, as indicated at 22' in Fig. 5 and the shaft I8 of the roller I9 may extend into the pipe 22 and rotate therein. To angle the tray I5 to adapt the roller to a surface to be painted, the pipe 22 is adjustable on its threaded connection with the T-tting 23.
In Fig. 3, there is shown a handle projection 4'I secured by a set screw 48 to a driving rod 49. This rod 49 which may be an extension of the roller shaft I8', is connected through a key 5I to the roller. This handle 41 can extend out of the outer end of the tray to provide a hand means for rotating the roller I9 independently of its contact with the surface to be painted and Without having to touch the roller I9. By this means, paint can be put on the roller before starting the painting operation.
It should be apparent that there has been provided a paint applying device having a roller with a tray for carrying the paint into which the paint can be dipped and a secondary roller for effecting the transfer is provided which can be adjusted on the handle of the supporting mechanism for the first roller and the tray. As viewed in Fig. 5, the tray is closed at one end as indicated at I6 so as to support the paint when the device is used to operate upon a vertical wall.
While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of my invention, what is claimed is:
A paint applying device comprising a tray for containing paint having two end portions, said tray having a partial closing top portion with a depending projection, disposed adjacent one end of the tray for enclosing the same, said depending projection terminating short of the bottom of the said tray, a paint applying roller having a shaft rotatably supported on the depending projection of the tray top portion and the other one of the end portions, said top portion together with said depending projection providing a pocket for receiving the paint when the roller is used on a vertical surface and a hand supporting structure connected to the tray and having an inwardly offset handle for effecting the operation of the device.
