Publication number: 20110281030Abstract: A composition for forming a textured coating on drywall material, where the textured coating substantially matches a pre-existing acoustic texture material on the drywall material, comprises acoustic texture material and propellant material. The acoustic texture material comprises a base portion the base portion is capable of existing in a flowable state and a hardened state, and a particulate portion the particulate portion comprises discrete, visible particles of solidified urethane foam having irregular shapes. The propellant material comprises a hydrocarbon propellant. The particles of urethane foam are distributed throughout the acoustic texture material when the base portion is in the flowable state. The irregular shapes of the particulate portion are substantially the same when the base portion is in the flowable state and in the hardened state.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2011Publication date: November 17, 2011Applicant: HOMAX PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Lester R.

Patent number: 8042713Abstract: An aerosol texturing system for applying a layer of texture material on an uncoated portion of a substrate substantially to match a coated portion of the substrate. The aerosol texturing system comprises an aerosol assembly, texture material, and bi-phase propellant material. The texture material comprises a base portion and a particulate portion, where the particulate portion is made of at least one of urethane foam and melamine foam. The propellant material acts on the texture material to force the texture material out of the aerosol assembly onto the uncoated portion of the substrate such that the layer of texture material on the uncoated portion of the substrate substantially matches the portion of the substrate coated with stucco material.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2010Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Homax Products, Inc.Inventors: Lester R.

Patent number: 8033484Abstract: A dispensing assembly for an aerosol system for dispensing liquid material comprises an outlet member defining an outlet opening, a selector member, a collar member, an actuator member, and a base member. The collar member supports the selector member. The actuator member supports the outlet member and the collar member.

Publication number: 20110081488Abstract: A method of applying texture material to a destination surface defining a pre-textured portion formed by a spray system and an untextured portion, comprising the following steps. A flexible container, texture, material, a sponge base, a resilient sponge are provided. The resilient sponge is adhered to the sponge base to form a sponge assembly. The texture material is arranged within the container chamber, and the sponge member is fixed relative to the container. Texture material is forced out of the container member and onto an applicator surface. At least a portion of the texture material on the applicator surface is transferred to the untextured portion of the destination surface by displacing the container member along the dispensing axis towards the destination surface with the applicator surface substantially parallel to the destination surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2010Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: HOMAX PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Lester R.

Publication number: 20110049179Abstract: An aerosol texturing system for applying a layer of texture material on an uncoated portion of a substrate substantially to match a coated portion of the substrate, comprises an aerosol assembly, texture material, and propellant material. The aerosol assembly defines a product chamber and is selectively operable in a first mode in which the product chamber is sealed and in a second mode in which fluid is allowed to flow out of the product chamber along a dispensing passageway. The texture material and propellant material are disposed within the product chamber. The texture material has a base portion and a particulate portion containing at least one particulate material. When the aerosol assembly is in the second mode, the propellant material is adapted to force the texture material out of the aerosol assembly along the dispensing passageway and onto the uncoated portion of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2010Publication date: March 3, 2011Applicant: HOMAX PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Lester R.

Publication number: 20100329772Abstract: A method of patching a destination surface to substantially match a structure of an existing sprayed on visible texture pattern. A sponge member is displaced in a dabbing direction towards and away from the destination surface to transfer texture material to the destination surface. Individual particles of the texture material are supported by binder on the applicator surface such that at least a portion of the structure at least some of the individual particles supported on the applicator surface visibly extend from the destination surface. The portion of the structure of the individual particles supported by the binder that extends outwardly from the binder on the destination surface forms a visible structure on the destination surface. The visible structure substantially matches the structure of the existing sprayed on visible texture pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: HOMAX PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Lester R.

Publication number: 20090148225Abstract: A system for applying texture material to a destination surface comprising a textured portion formed by a spray system and an untextured portion comprises a container and a sponge assembly. The container is flexible such that applying deliberate manual force to the container forces the texture material onto an applicator surface defined by the sponge assembly. The sponge member is resilient. When the container member is displaced along a dispensing axis towards and away from the destination surface with the applicator surface substantially parallel to the destination surface, at least a portion of the texture material on the applicator comes into contact with the untextured portion of the destination surface to transfer texture material from the applicator surface to the destination surface. At least a portion of an exposed portion of the particulate material stands out from and is visually perceptible on the untextured portion of the destination surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2008Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: HOMAX PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Lester R.
