Definitions

  • a paint applicator comprising a paint container including a paint reservoir and an elongated tank having an elongated opening; an axially elongated cylindrical paint applying roller mounted to be partly encased by the elongated tank; supporting means on the tank for supporting the roller; a passage leading from the paint reservoir to the elongated tank for supplying paint under gravity to the elongated tank; and a handle attached to the paint container.
  • PAINT APPLICATOR The present invention relates to paint applicators and paint applicator containers.
  • a paint applicator comprises a paint container which includes a paint reservoir and an elongated tank having an elongated opening; an axially elongated cylindrical paint applying roller mounted to be partly encased by the elongated tank; supporting means on the tank for supporting the roller; a passage leading from the paint reservoir to the elongated tank for supplying paint under gravity to the elongated tank; and a handle attached to the paint container.
  • the paint container may have a subsidiary reservoir on the side of the tank remote from the paint reservoir into which subsidiary reservoir excessive paint can flow under gravity from the tank.
  • Grooves may be provided in the tank transversely to the roller for allowing paint to be spread over the whole of the tank.
  • the paint container may be made integrally from synthetic plastic material.
  • a paint applicator container comprises a paint reservoir; an elongated tank having a removable lid, the elongated tank being adapted to encase partly an axially elongated cylindri cal paint applying roller on removal of the elongated lid; supporting means on the tank for supporting the roller; a passage leading from the paint reservoir to the elongated tank for supplying paint under gravity to the elongated tank; and handle attachment means for attaching a handle to the paint container.
  • FIG. 1 a side view of a paint applicator in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 a plan view seen along arrow II in FIG. 1 (but excluding the abutment rollers);
  • FIG. 3 a plan view of a paint applicator container
  • FIG. 4 a side view of the paint applicator container seen along arrow IV in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a paint applicator with a different type of handle arrangement, and with some other features.
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view seen along arrow VI in FIG. 5.
  • the paint applicator 10 comprises a paint container 12, including a paint reservoir 14 and an elongated tank 16 having an elongated opening 18.
  • the paint applicator 10 further comprises a paint applying roller 20 mounted in the tank 16.
  • a handle 22 is attached by means of a rod 24 to the paint container 12.
  • the container 12 further has a subsidiary reservoir 26, which is closed on three sides and at its top.
  • the roller 20 is mounted by means of its shaft 20.], in recesses 28, provided in the side walls 32, 32,34 the tank 16. Spring clips may be located in these recesses if necessary.
  • An elongated paint retaining groove 36 is provided between the reservoir 14 and the tank 16.
  • the reservoir 14 has a closable filling opening 38 and a closable side opening 40 for cleaning purposes.
  • the reservoir 14 and the tank 16 are joined by means of a passage 42.
  • This passage 42 is provided centrally and is formed between tapering walls 44, 46.
  • the reservoir 14 may have an abutment roller 48.
  • Further rollers 50,52 may be provided at the subsidiary reservoir 26 so as to prevent the applicator from colliding with a wall, ceiling, etc. These rollers are optional and are not shown in FIG. 2.
  • the reservoir 14 is filled with paint through the opening 38.
  • paint will flow through the passage 42 centrally into the tank 16 and the paint roller 20 will pick up the paint.
  • paint will flow either into the subsidiary reservoir 26 or will flow back via the groove 36 to the passage 42.
  • the subsidiary reservoir 26 has a roof 26.1 tapering downwardly towards the roller 20 to allow paint to flow to it.
  • the roof 36.1 of the groove 36 tapers downwardly in opposite directions also to facilitate downward flow of paint.
  • the tank 16 and roller 20 may be closable by means of a removable lid (not shown).
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 a paint applicator container 54 is shown.
  • This container 54 is substantially equivalent to the container 12 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the elongated raised lid 56 has to be removed (e.g. by cutting) so as to expose the tank 58 (equivalent to the tank 16 of FIGS. 1 and 2.).
  • the roller shaft then can be mounted in the recesses 60, which then are exposed.
  • the container 54 has handle attachment means (e.g. a tube 62) for receiving a handle rod.
  • the handle arrangement as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 may be used.
  • the container 54 thus can be filled through the lid 64 with paint and sold to a customer.
  • the customer Before use, the customer will have to cut out or remove the lid 56 and insert a roller (supplied separately) into position. He also will have to attach a handle. Paint will then flow from the reservoir 66 through the passage 68 as described above and the applicator is ready for use.
  • the container 70 also has recesses 88,90 in which abutment roller wheels 92,94 are rotatably mounted. These wheels 92, 94 have the same function as the rollers 48,52 in FIG. 1.
  • a paint applicator comprising a paint container which includes a paint reservoir and an elongated tank having an elongated opening; an axially elongated cylindrical paint applying roller mounted to be partly encased by the elongated tank; supporting means on the tank for supporting the roller; a passage leading from the paint reservoir to the elongated tank for supplying paint under gravity to the elongated tank; a subsidiary reservoir on the side of the tank remote from the paint reservoir and in bidirectional communication with said tank within the confines of said container, into which subsidiary reservoir excessive paint can flow under gravity from the tank; and an additional subsidiary reservoir between said tank and reservoir, said additional subsidiary reservoir extending parallel to said tank.
