PAINT BRUSH WITH ELONGATED, ADJUSTABLE HANDLE Aug. 3, 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Feb. 21, 1964 JAMES A i-21 71 il/him ATTORNEYS United States Patent O i 3,197,795 FAIIIT BRUSH W 1TH ELONGATED, ADJUSTABLE HANDLE .l'ames A. Forte, 2639 E. 51st St., Cleveland, Ohio Filed Feb. 21, 1964, Ser. No. 346,539 2 Claims. ((31. 15-160) This invention relates, as indicated, to attachments and guards for facilitating painting.
In various painting operations, as for example, in painting window frames and trim, walls, ceilings, etc., the use of paint brushes and .paint rollers in a conventional manner, is rendered difiicult, due ot the inaccessibility of such areas, the awkward position in which the brush or roller has to be held, the unavailability of ladders and platforms, and the painting of areas, such as windows, borders, etc., from which the paint is to be excluded.
An object of the invention is to provide novel extension means for enabling painting operations to be conducted at elevated positions.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view showing an attachment for paint brushes, which enables the brush to be used in an easy manner for painting window sash;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a device which is used to prevent paint from the brush shown in FIG. 1 from being transferred to the window during use of the brush for painting the window sash;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view, taken on the line 33 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary cross secional view, taken on the line 4-4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view, taken on the line 5-5 of FIG. 1;
FIG 6 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but showing a modified form of an attachment for paint brushes, which enables a brush to be used in a horizontal position, for painting at a Wall location near the ceiling;
FIG. 7 is .a cross-sectional view, taken on the line 77 of FIG. 6; 7
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view, taken on the line 88 of FIG. 6;
FIG. 9 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view, taken on the line 9-9 of FIG. 6;
FIG. 10 is a view of an adapter used in the attachment of FIG. 6, but for brushes of greater thickness;
FIG. 11 is a view similar to FIG. 10, but showing an adapter used in the attachment of FIG. 6, but (for brushes of still greater thickness.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1 to 5 inclusive of the drawings, there is disclosed a conventional paint brush having bristles 1, a bristle holder 2 and a handle 3.
The handle 3, in this instance, is provided with a pair of longitudinally-spaced openings 4 and 5 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
The attachment, in this case, comprises a tubular member 6 having aligned pairs of openings 7, 8 and 9, and a cap 10, which is threaded onto the upper end of the member 6.
The handle 3 of the paint brush is removably secured to the member 6, at right angles to the axis of the latter, as by a screw .11 which passes through the openings 8 and 5, and by a nut 12 which is secured to the screw 11 and bears against the handle 3.
For the purpose of retaining the handle 3 of the brush against pivotal movement about the screw 11, a pair of brace members :13 and 14 are provided.
ice
The brace member '13 is secured at one end to the tubular member 6, as by means of a screvs. 15, which passes through the openings 7, and a nut 16, which is threaded to the screw 15 and bears against the brace member 13. The brace member 13 is secured at its other end to the brushhandle 3, as by means of a screw 17, which passes through the opening 4 in the handle, and a nut 18, which is threaded to the screw 17 and bears against the handle '3.
The brace member v14 is secured at one end to the tubular member 6, as by means of a screw 19, which passes through the openings 9, and a nut 20, which is threaded to the screw 19 and bears against the brace member 14. The brace member '14 is secured at its other end to the brush handle 3 by means of the screw 17 and nut 18, as shown in FIG. 3.
The brush may be used by grasping the tubular memher 6 and moving the brush vertically.
Where the brush is to be used at an elevation which cannot be reached, except with a ladder, but where a ladder is not available, an extension handle 21 (FIGS. 1 and 5) may be provided. This extension handle may be secured to the tubular member 6 in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, that is to say, by means of a collar '22, which is removably secured to the handle 21 and member 6, and clamped to said handle and member by means of a screw element 23 which may be adjusted to cause the collar to firmly grip the handle 21 and member 6.
In painting window sashes or frames, it is desirable to avoid transfer of paint from the brush onto the windows.
For this purpose, I have provided a guard, asshown in FIGS. 1 and 5, which is formed of a molded plastic material, and comprises a tubular body portion 24 designed to be slipped over the brush and cover the bristle holder 2 of the brush, and an extension 25 which lies along that face of the brush which would otherwise contact the window. The body portion 24 of the guard has an opening 26 through which the handle 3 of the brush extends.
The guard, as thus described, is used in conjunction with the brush in the manner shown in FIG. 1, in which position the extension 25 will prevent transfer of paint from the brush to the window.
When the brush is to be dipped intoa can of paint, to replenish the supply of paint on the brush, the guard is slipped reanwardly along the brush to a position in which the bristles of the brush may be dipped into the can, after which the guard is again slipped forwardly to the position shown in FIG. 1.
In FIGS. 6 to 9 inclusive, there is shown an attachment which enables a brush such as shown in FIG. 1, to be used for painting in a horizontal direction, as, for example, for painting the wall of a room adjacent the ceihng, and without getting paint on the ceiling.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 6 to 9 inclusive, there is disclosed a conventional paint brush having bristles 31, a bristle holder 32 and a handle 33.
The handle 33, in this instance, is provided with a pair of longitudinally-spaced openings 34 and 35 (see FIGS. 7 and 9), which are of the same size and spaced from each other the same distance, as the openings 4 and 5 of the brush in FIG. 1.
The attachment, in this case, comprises a tubular member 36, similar to the member 6, and having secured to its upper end a cap 37 provided with an upstanding central threaded post 38.
The handle 33 of the brush is secured to the cap 37 in the manner shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, that is to say, with the fiat face of the handle resting upon the upper surface 0 of the cap, and the handle extending at right angles to the axis of the tubular member 36. The post 38 extends through the opening 35, and the handle is clamped to the A s eaves .ing 34 of the handle, and a nut 43, which is threaded to the screw 42 and bears against the brush handle.
The strut 40 also has an end 44, which extends parallel with the axis of the tubular member 36 and which is secured to the tubular member by means of a screw 45 and nut 46, in the maner shown in FIG. 8.
For use .in painting with brushes having handles of greater thickness, adapter such as shown in FIG. 10 or 11 may be used in place of the cap 37, these adapters having posts of any desired length. The attachment, as shown in FIG. 6, may also be used in conjunction with an extensible handle, as in FIG. 1,
,. and the brush may be used in conjunction with a guard such as shown in FIG. 2, the extension 25 of the guard [overlying the bristle end of the brush, as shown in FIG. 6,
so as to avoid transfer of paint to a ceiling, when painting .the area of the wall closely adjacent the ceiling.
It is to be understood that the forms of my invention, herewith shown and described, are to be taken as preferred examples of the same, and that various changes I may be made in the shape, size and arrangement of parts thereof, without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In combination, a tubular member, an extension handle in spaced parallel relation to said tubular member, means for removably clamping said tubular member to said extension handle, a paint brush having a handle extending perpendicularly to said tubular member, means securing said paint brush handle to said tubular member, and brace members extending from said tubular member angularly to the handle of said brush, said brace members removably secured to said tubular member and to the handle of said brush.
2. The combination, as set forth in claim 1, in which the bristle portion of said brush is disposed in a vertical plane.
