Description

p 1957 J. J. CHRlSTENSEN ET AL 2,805,436
PAINT APPLICATOR Filed Aug. 2, 1954 0 9 Jerome J. Chrisfensen Hermme E. Chr/stensen BY Mam INVENTQRS,
United States Patent PAINT APPLICATOR Jerome J. Christensen and Hermine E. Christensen, Kenosha, Wis.
Application August 2, 1954, Serial No. 447 ,07 2 1 Claim. (Cl. 15-1325) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in wall paint applicators, and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, novel means for expeditiously applying various attractive designs having the appearance of wallpaper to the wall.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide, in a wall paint applicator of the roll type, a frame or holder comprising a unique construction and arrangement whereby different sizes of rolls may be readily used.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a wall paint applicator of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly eflicient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wall paint applicator constructed in accordance with the present invention; and
Figure 2 is a view principally in vertical section through the device.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a substantially U-shaped frame or holder of suitable metal which is designated generally by the reference character 5. Mounted on the bight portion of the frame 5 is an elongated handle 6 having anchored in one end portion thereof a threaded stud 7.
The legs 8 of the frame 5 include inturned, lapped inner end portions 9 having longitudinal slots 10 therein. The portions 9 of the legs 8 terminate in angularly bent fingers constituting guides 11 which are operable in the slots 10. The handle 6 is mounted on the lapped portions of the elements 9 and the stud 7 passes through the adjacent slot 10 and is threaded into an opening 12 which is provided therefor in the other element 9.
Rotatably mounted between the free end portions of the frame legs 8 is a removable applicator roll 13. The applicator roll 13 comprises a core 14 of suitable wood having anchored in its ends portions longitudinally projecting trunnions 15. The trunnions 15 are operable in diagonal slots 16 which are provided therefor in the legs 8 for floatingly mounting the applicator roll 13 in the frame 5. The applicator roll 13 further includes a sponge rubber sleeve or cover 17 on the core 14, which sleeve or cover is provided on its outer periphery with raised designs or bosses 18.
Removably and adjustably mounted in the frame 5, inwardly of the applicator roll 13 and having rolling con tact therewith, is a paint distributing roll 19. The distributing roll 19 includes a core 20 of suitable wood having fixed in its end portions longitudinally projecting trunnions 21. The trunnions 21 are engageable selectively in spaced openings 22 which are provided there-' for in the frame legs 8 for rotatably and removably mounting the distributing roll 19 in said frame.
The distributing roll 19 further comprises a sponge rubber sleeve or cover 23 on the core 20.
It is thought that the manner in which the applicator is used will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the paint is brushed on the roll 19 and the device is rolled over a sheet of paper for transferring the paint to the applicator roll 13 and distributing said paint uniformly thereover. Then, starting at the top of the wall, the device is brought downwardly for printing the design 18 of the applicator roll 13 on the surface. The diagonal slots 16 and the spaced openings 22 in the legs 8 of the frame 5 permit the use of different sizes of rolls and allow the pressure to be varied as desired. The handle 6 frictionally clamps the legs 8 of the frame 5 in adjusted position. By simply unthreading or loosening the handle, the members 8 of the frame may be adjusted laterally as desired. The construction also facilitates the insertion and removal of the rolls 13 and 19.
It is believed that the many advantages of a wall paint applicator constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be resorted to, which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
A wall paint applicator of the character described including a substantially U-shaped frame comprising a pair of laterally adjustable legs having inturned, lapped relatively slidably adjustable inner end portions, one of said end portions having a longitudinal slot therein, the other of said end portions having a relatively short longitudinal slot therein and further having a threaded opening therein between its free end and the second-named slot, angularly bent, oppositely extending guides integral with the free ends of said inturned end portions and operable in the slots, an elongated handle, a threaded, projecting stud fixed longitudinally in one end of said handle, said stud being operable in the first-named slot and threaded through the opening for mounting the handle on the frame, said handle, in conjunction with said stud, providing means for frictionally clamping said inturned end portions in adjusted position, an applicator roll journaled between the legs of the frame, and a distributing roll journaled between said legs of said frame and having rolling contact with said applicator roll.
