Definitions
- the present invention in some embodiments thereof, relates to paint applicators, specifically rollers and shields, for precision in painting large scale projects.
- the present invention relates to a shield for a paint roller that allows for quick and precise painting.
- One embodiment of the invention includes shield that may be attached to different types of existing paint rollers.
- Another embodiment of the invention has a handle attached to a frame, which attaches to a shield and roller.
- the handle allows for an easy grip.
- the frame includes a neck. This neck may have alternate configurations depending on the type of work such as for walls generally, or with a longer neck for high ceilings.
- the neck forms an "s" shape with the handle extending away from the lower leg of the "s" and the shield extending off of the upper leg.
- the frame also includes a roller to which the roller cover is applied. The roller cover is the portion that applies paint to a wall.
- the roller itself is connected to the frame and moves concentrically using the leg of the frame it is attached to as an axel.
- the roller cover attaches to.
- the roller has a 3/4 inch outer diameter while the roller cover has an inner diameter of 3/4 inch and a length of 4 inches.
- the frame and shield may be designed to accommodate a variety of roller covers.
- the shield has a stem and a plate.
- the shield is designed for the planar plate portion to be flush against a surface, such as a ceiling. This surface, such as a ceiling, is generally perpendicular to the surface that is intended to be painted, such as the wall.
- the stem which is optionally shaped cylindrically, allows the shield to attach to the frame. In one embodiment this is achieved by the stem being hollow and having one base that is open. The second base is attached to the plate.
- the plate is substantially planar, circular and with one edge flattened, as though someone had cut through a secant line. The diameter in this embodiment is 1 1/2 inches.
- the size of the shield is based on the diameter of the roller cover such that all of the edge of the roller cover will be blocked by the shield except for the flattened portion of the shield.
- This plate has a width that allows the roller cover to come within a very close proximity of area that is not intended to be painted, such as a ceiling. In this embodiment it has a 1/64 inch thickness with a beveled 1/8 inch edge angled at 45 degrees away from the ceiling (or other surface not intended to be painted). There is no angled portion on the flat edge of the shield that has been cut as though through a secant line.
- the shield is designed such that the flat portion will press against wall that is intended to be painted and can be arranged at whatever angle the user desires. Once placed the shield will not rotate but will stay fixed with the frame as the roller and roller cover rotate about an axel formed by the frame.
- the shield is made from polypropylene #5, but may be made from other materials or plastics.
- the beveled edge may have different proportions regarding the angle and length.
- the diameter of the shield can differ from the 1 1/2 inch. This diameter was selected to utilize an appropriately reduced amount of materials necessary for a shield for a roller cover with an inner diameter of 3/4 inches.
- the diameter of the shield, the location of the secant line forming the flattened portion of shield, and size of the roller cover may all differ from the current embodiment, though they must remain in relation to one another such that the diameter of the shield is greater than the outer diameter of the roller cover, but allowing the roller cover to extend past the flat portion.
- the shield not be generally circular. Other shapes may be used. However there must be one flat edge that does not extend past the roller cover and allows the paint to be applied to the intended surface.
- the stem of the shield can alter to configure to differently shaped termini of frames.
- the frame may be configured in a different formation such as straight or an "s" shape with a handle extending perpendicular to lower leg of the "s".
- the present invention relates to a paint roller shield comprising a plate with a planar surface configured to have a beveled periphery with at least one flat edge along the periphery and a nonplanar surface configured to attach to a paint roller device.
- the paint roller shield is subject to variations.
- the plate in a variation, is substantially round with one flat edge configured to allow paint to be applied to one particular surface.
- the attachment to the paint roller device in one variation, is a hollow cylindrical tube configured to fit over the end of a paint roller device and stay fixed in relation to a roller cover, which applies paint.
- the beveled edge in a variation, is angled between 5° and 85° and slopes outwardly away from the planar surface. In another variation to the beveled edge, it is at a length of about 1/8 of an inch. In yet another variation on the beveled edge, the flat edge remains unbeveled. Furthermore, in one variation of the flat edge of the plate is configured such that with a substantially circular plate edge is configured as a missing portion of the circle defined by a secant.
- a paint roller and paint roller shield assembly comprises: a roller for applying paint, having a paint applying surface that terminates at a rim located at an end of the roller.
- a paint roller shield is connected to the end of the roller, and comprises: a plate with a planar surface having a substantially round and beveled peripheral edge and a curved cutout configured as a missing portion of the plate.
- the beveled peripheral edge is angled and sloped outwardly away from the planar surface.
- the cutout exposes a part of the rim comprising part of the paint applying surface of the roller and wherein the plate and the beveled peripheral edge covers a remaining part of the rim of the roller not exposed by the cutout.
