cHnRLszs P- LYNDF V United States Patent PAINT APPLICATOR'JROLLER Charles P. Lyndon, Detroit, Mich.
Application May 1.6, 1950,.Serial.l`Iol 162,#161- 2 Claims. (Cl. 1S230) This invention relates to a roller-type paint applicator, and more particularly to a cylindrical roller carrying a fabric or a wool pile, together with a double arm support and handle.
Heretofore, applicators of this type have had merely a single arm support with the result that the roller wear was uneven, the painting was uneven due to such uneven wear, and areas would be entirely missed.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a roller construction which will overcome these difficulties and which will wear evenly and paint evenly, and which will not miss any areas.
1t is the further object of this invention to provide a double arm support and handle for the roller to thereby accomplish the object above set out.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a novel method of mounting the cylindrical wool pile upon the roller, whereby using either wool pile or lambs wool a stippling effect will be produced upon the surface painted.
These and other objects will be seen from the following speciication and claims in conjunction with the appended drawing in which:
The drawing figure is a partially broken away and sectioned elevational view of the present paint applicator.
It will be understood that the above drawing illusstrates merely a preferred embodiment of the invention, and that other embodiments are contemplated within the scope of the claims hereafter set out.
The present invention contemplates particularly the unusual method of securing the fabric 87 to the cylinder 82 by which it is possible with the use of a wool pile fabric or with lambs wool to produce a stippling effeet upon the surface painted by said roller. Heretofore using this material, such stippled effect could not be produced where an immovable relation existed between the wool pile fabric and the supporting roller. It has been found that this stippling effect required the use of carpeting fabric, and could not be produced by a wool pile fabric if the same was cemented to the roller.
The stitches 88 thereby provide for a yielding relation between the skin or base 86 of the fabric with respect to the supporting roller 82.
Referring to the drawing the present double arm handle construction includes a series of tubular handle elements 59 which are interiorly threaded at one end at 60 and at their opposite ends have threaded extensions 61 of reduced diameter. By this construction a plurality of handle elements may be jointed together to provide a long handle where desired, as Where it is desired to apply paint to a ceiling or the upper portion of a wall. The extension 61 of one handle element cooperatively fits within the threaded opening 60 of an adjacent handle element.
The upper handle element is adapted to receive the threaded stud 62 which depends from a central portion of the roller support 63. In the present embodiment the support 63 has joined to its opposite ends a pair of U shaped frame elements 66 and 75. The lower inturned end portion 65 of end member 66 projects within an axial bore 64 at one end of support 63, and is secured therein by the transverse screw 67. The upper inturned end 68 of member 66 is threaded at its outer end at 69, which threaded end has mounted thereon collar 70, which projects beyond the end of member 68.
The longitudinal roller supporting shaft 71 threaded at one end at 72, threadably projects within collar 70,
jew
2,702,917 Patented Mar. 1, 1955 opening 64 in the end .of 4roller support 63 and is ,re-
movabbl `Secured therein .by the `collar 7:9 and the thumb screw 80 which -frictionally engages the leg 78. For assembly, :the llower end .78 is vpositioned within bore 6'4 and the collar 74 has already been .threaded all the "g wa-y onto threaded leg 76. Once leg 76 is aligned with shaft 7.1, collar 74 is partially `unthreaded from said leg and its .other-end threaded onto the threaded end 73 of shaft 71.
The roller generally indicated at 81 includes the cylinder 82 with cylinder heads 83 and 84 at its opposite ends, said heads having hollow eyelets 85 at their central portions to receive the shaft 71 upon which said roller is journaled.A
The hollow cylindrically shaped fabric 86 which includes wool pile 87 is slidably positioned over roller 82 and stitched thereto at a plurality of points 88. Thus there is provided a yielding relation between the wool pile fabric and the supporting cylinder whereby a stippling effect will be produced upon the surface painted.
In normal operation the liquid paint is applied to` the exterior surface of the wool pile 87, the same being rst test rolled upon a suitable surface in order to evenly distribute the paint throughout the surface of the wool pile. Thereafter and by a manual rolling operation the paint is applied to a wall, ceiling or other surface.
The present invention includes the roller construction shown in the drawing, the same being a hand paint filled and hand operated paint roller applicator to paint any smooth surface, textured surface, sand nished surface, rough plaster surface, or cement blocks. It will be noted in connection with sanded, textured or rough surfaces, the same are more quickly painted than smooth surfaces due to the friction roughing of the high wool pile 87 which is used upon the roller.
The double arm roller may be of the dimensions 13" x 5". Such roller has the capacity of giving a heavy application of paint with as much speed as that of an air spraying gun or pressure fed roller applicator, where comparable densities of paint lm are applied. For example, one dipping of this roller will cover approximately 25 to 30 square feet of surface.
The handle, arm, roller and extension handles needed to paint the average 8 foot wall or 8 foot ceiling weighs only a trifle more than the weight of an average 4" paint brush. The applicator shown employing aluminum tubing, applies paint many times easier and with less manual wear upon the operator. This enables the operator to cover many times over the ordinary surfaces covered by a spray gun or a 4" brush for the average working day.
These rollers also permit covering darker under surfaces than can be covered by the present brushing methods.
To obtain maximum results with ease of operation it 'is necessary to load the particular roller employed by pouring thereon all the paint the wool pile will absorb. By correctly loading the rollers less material will be thrown upon rotation thereof.
Having described my invention, reference should now be had to the claims which follow for determining the scope thereof.
I claim:
1. A paint applicator comprising a cylindrical roller, heads lixed to and closing the opposite ends of said roller, a shaft rotatably supporting the roller through said heads, a handle, a transverse support joined to one end thereof, a pair of inturned U-shaped axle supports with their one ends joined'to the ends of said shaft and with their other ends joined to the ends ofv said transverse t support, a tubular fabric covering on said roller, and a plurality of stitches loosely interconnecting said roller and said covering, and arranged at spaced intervals throughout the length thereof. Y'
2. A paint applicator comprising a cylindrical roller, heads lixed to and closing the opposite ends-of said roller, a shaft rotatably supporting the roller through said heads, a handle, a transverse support joined to one end thereof, the opposite ends of said support being axially bored, a tubular fabric covering on said roller, a pair of collars threadably mounted upon theends of said shaft and loosely engaging said heads, anda pair of inturned U-shaped supports with their one ends threaded into said collars and with their other ends retained within the end bores of said transverse support.
