Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to paint brushes, and more particularly, but not exclusively, provides a paint device incorporating a paint brush with a paint container.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides a paint device comprising a lid, an applicator and a container.
  • the applicator is coupled to an underside of the lid and the container is removably coupled to the lid. Accordingly, the applicator is kept moist and from drying out by being in contact with liquid disposed within the container.
  • Further advantages include that embodiments of the invention enable an easy way to paint; a convenient method for paint storage; quick painting/touch-up; a combination system for keeping paint and an applicator together in an airtight container for quick access to the tools/supplies needed for painting or applying other liquids.
  • a method of painting with the paint device comprises: removing the lid from the container; optionally attaching a handle to lid; gripping the handle or the lid; and painting.
  • Embodiments of the invention can be used to hold liquids that are used to cover surfaces with an applicator, such as, but not limited to, paint and paint thinner.
  • an applicator such as, but not limited to, paint and paint thinner.
  • the paint device 100 comprises a lid 1 and a container 2.
  • the lid 1 includes a small shaft 5, that extends outward and perpendicular from an inside surface of the lid 1, down approximately 2.5" but can extend further or can be made shorter.
  • the shaft 5, is designed to hold an applicator 6, to the lid.
  • the shaft 5, is cylindrical in shape, but is not limited to this shape, and it can be made so that it tapers at the bottom to hold the applicator and reduce the amount of material used to make the device 100.
  • the lid 1 of the paint device 100 in combination with the shaft 5, extending from its inside surface and the applicator 6, that is attached to the shaft 5, can be used to apply various liquids to varying surfaces.
  • the shaft 5, can be a permanent part of the lid 1, but it can also be an independent part 11 as shown in Figure 36, that attaches to the lid 1, still providing the same function.
  • the removable shaft 11, attaches to the lid 1 with a threaded interlock, press fit/friction interlock, a snap-on interlock or other mechanism.
  • the removable shaft 11, allows for easy cleaning of the shaft 5, and an applicator 6, such as an applicator 6a ( Figure 9 - Figure 13).
  • the applicator 6, can be made out of bristles, both synthetic and natural, sponge, cloth, fabric, hair, rubber, plastic, paper, or other material.
  • the applicator 6 can also be a cylindrical device 6b ( Figures 14 - 19), covered with synthetic or natural nap (like a paint roller).
  • the size of the applicator 6a, 6c, or 6d, is approximately 1.0" x 1.0" but can be made as small as 0.2" x 0.1", or as large as 5.0" x 5.0".
  • the applicator 6, can be made as a permanent part of the shaft 5, and lid 1, or it can be made to attach and detach to the shaft 5 and/or 11, in a cartridge format 20, like that of a disposable razor cartridge, as shown in Figure 34.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 attaches to the shaft 5 and/or 11, using a press-fit/friction fit interlock, snap on interlock or other mechanism.
  • the cartridge applicator 20, can be made to attach to the bottom of the shaft 5, or it can be made to attach by fastening around the shaft's 5, outer surface using a friction fit application or an elastic application that would hold the applicator over the shaft 5 and/or 11.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 eliminates any possibility of the applicator 6 and/or 20, from drying out and becoming unusable.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 can be a cartridge-like system that enables the user to apply the liquids from the container 2, and after the task is completed the cartridge applicator 20, is removed and discarded or cleaned.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 can be made from the same materials as those of the applicator 6.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 attaches to the shaft 5 that extends from the lid 1. It attaches to the shaft 5 with a snap-fit, press-fit, friction-fit attachment or other mechanism that holds the cartridge applicator 20 securely to the shaft 5 and/or 11, so that it can be used to complete the task of applying liquids to surfaces.
  • the cartridge applicator 20 can be removed and discarded or cleaned for future use.
  • This design removes the possibility of the applicator 20 and/or 6, from drying out if not submerged in enough liquid in the container 2, and damaging the applicator 6 and/or 20.
  • the cartridge system allows for a variety of applicator styles, such as sponges, synthetic bristles, natural bristles, and /or rollers etc. to be used interchangeably with one paint device 100.
  • the lid 1, is illustrated as domed shape but is not limited to this shape and can be approximately 3.25 inches across, but is not limited to this size.
  • the lid 1 can be square, octagonal, triangular or any other shape.
  • the exterior domed surface of the lid 1 can include a handle 10, as shown in Figures 5 - 8, that is held when applying liquids to surfaces.
  • the shape of the lid 1 exterior surface can be spherical or domed, but as noted above, is not limited to this shape.
  • the outer surface of the lid 1, can be spherical in shape to fit better in the hand of the user and give more surface-area to grip and hold onto.
  • the outer edge of the lid 1, known as a grip 16 has ribs that provide the user with extra grip.
  • a handle 10 like that found on a typical paintbrush, can extend from the top of the lid 1 outer surface to provide the user with a handle with which to hold onto when using this device 100.
  • This handle 10 can be permanent part of the lid/shaft/applicator 1, 5, 6, 11, 20 or it can be a separate detachable handle 10 that attaches to the lid 1, and/or shaft 5 and/or 11, in various ways including a snap fit, threaded fit, friction fit, etc.
  • the handle 10 can also hold the shaft 5 and/or 11, and applicator 6 and/or 20 and pass through lid 1, so that when removed from the container 2, it would be similar to a traditional paintbrush, as shown in Figure 36.
  • the lid 1 can also be removed from the handle 18, and shaft 5 and/or 11.
  • the container 2 as shown in Figure 30, is illustrated as cylindrical in shape but can be made any shape including square, rectangular, octagonal, triangular, etc.
  • the volume of liquid that the container 2 holds can be approximately 13oz, but it is not limited to this volume.
  • the container 2 can hold as little as 1 ounce of liquid and as much as 5 gallons.
  • the bottom surface of the container 2, may be flat on its external side so that it can stand on surfaces without tipping over.
  • the container 2, the lid 1, the shaft 5 and/or 11, and a wiper device 12 are made from plastic polymers.
  • the design is not limited to plastic polymers and can be made out of any material that is able to hold liquid without leaking and be substantially airtight.
  • the lid 1 and container 2 can be made in any color combination available, including clear, and opaque.
  • there are line indicators on the container 2 that show the minimum volume 4, and maximum volume 3, of liquid necessary to be kept in the container in order to keep the applicator 6 moist and supple.
  • the lid 1 can be secured to the container 2 with a threaded interlock 8, as shown in Figure 35.
  • This system can also be made using a snap fit interlock where the lid 1 snaps onto the container 2, or has a friction fit that attaches the lid 1 to the container 2, or the lid 1 can be held down securely with locking devices such as a buckle(s) that are attached to the lid 1 and to the container 2.
  • There is a tapered lip 14 inside the lid 1 that presses on the inside edge 15 of the container 2 when the lid 1 is fastened to the container 2 creating an airtight seal.
  • the air tight seal is made because the two surfaces 14 and 15 come together in such a fashion that it prohibits air from entering into the container 2, which could ultimately ruin the liquid stored inside.
  • An o-ring or a gasket or a washer made from rubber, plastic, metal, paper or any other material, can also be fit between the lid 1 and the container 2 to create an airtight seal between the lid 1 and container 2 when they are put together.
  • the wiper device 12 ( Figures 32 and 33) helps to keep excess paint in the container 2, off the inside of the lid 1, when the paint device 100 is being shaken, transported or stored statically, and also provides an edge to wipe the excess liquid off of the applicator 6 and/or 20, and/or the shaft 5 and/or 11.
  • This wiper device 12 fits into the seat 19 on the inside of the container 2 and can be held in place with a snap fit, friction fit, threaded fit or can be held in place with an adhesive.
  • On the outer perimeter 23 of the wiper device 12 there are dome shaped bumps 21 that protrude outward. The bumps 21 snap/press-fit into the seat 19 on the inside of the container 2 to secure the wiper into the container 2.
  • the wiper device 12 can also be manufactured as a part of the container 2 so that it is not a secondary part, but an integral part of the container.
  • This hole 22 is in the center of the wiper device 12, but can also be offset.
  • the hole 22 in the wiper device 12 is illustrated as round, but can be any shape or size that allows the applicator 6 and/or 20, and shaft 5 and/or 11, to move through it.
  • the hole 22 can be small enough to rub snuggly against the applicator 6 and/or 20 removing excess liquid, and shaft 5 and/or 11 or it can be large enough that the applicator 6 and/or 20, and shaft 5 and/or 11 do not to touch the hole.
  • the applicator 6 and/or 20 and shaft 5 and/or 11 can be used as a stirring mechanism to keep the liquid inside mixed properly.
  • slits 12a radially protruding from the hole 22 in the wiper device 12 that allow the wiper device 12 to flex around the applicator 6 and/or 20, and the shaft 5 and/or 11, when inserting and/or removing the applicator 6 and/or 20, and the shaft 5 and/or 11, to the container 2, and through the hole 22 in the wiper device 12.
  • the number of slits is not limited to three; the wiper device 12 can have as few as one or as many as 100 or none.
  • These slits 12a also enable any liquid that has gotten on the top surface of the wiper device 12 while the applicator 6 and/or 20, and the shaft 5 and/or 11, are in the container to drain back into the container.
  • the wiper device 12 can have a conical shape from its outer perimeter 23 to the center of the hole 22 tapering down toward the hole 22 that allows any liquid that has fallen on the top surface of the wiper device 12 to flow back into the container 2.
  • the lid 1 is detached from the container 2 via unscrewing the lid 1 or via other mechanisms. If necessary, a cartridge applicator 20 can be coupled to the lid 1 (via the shaft 5 or 11). In addition, the handle 10 can be coupled to the lid 1. The user can then grip the handle 10 or the lid 1 via the ribs 16 to paint.
