Description

This invention relates to paperhanging tools/decorating trade paperhanging decorating tools comprise of

(1) pencil/chalk line

(2) paperhanging brush/spatchlor

(3) paperhanging knife/blade

(4) measuring tape

(5) paste brush/roller

(6) sponge

(7) spirit level/plumbob

(8) paper seam roller

(9) paste table

(10) a bucket or the like of

In the decorating/wallpapering trade it is known to use a bucket or the like of for the storage of wallpaper paste-adhesives.

Where by a brush or roller is coated with paste which is then applied to the surface as required.

However a disadvantage of this form of storage dispention is that when the brush or roller is dipped directly into the bucket of paste it will become overfull resulting in the user having to scrape the excess paste-adhesive off.

This will make unnecessary mess and result in unsatisfactory coverage of the paste brush or roller with wallpaper paste further more the adhesive will clog the brush or roller resulting in an uneven application of paste-adhesive to the surface it is being applied too.

Further more of the bucket or the like of there is no easy means of access to the bucket or the like of always having to bend down continually to apply/load paste brush/roller with paste-adhesive.

For example by elevating the bucket or the like of on top of paste table to gain easier access to the bucket of wallpaper paste-adhesive would waste valuable space

there is no-easy means of access to paste-adhesive when the bucket or the like of is at ground level.

There is also no airtight lid for a bucket or the like of when not in prolonged use in not having a airtight lid the paste-adhesive will turn into a unusable watery state if left exposed to the air when not in use.

There is also no means of plurality attachments means there on where by a paste brush or roller and other decorating implements such as paste mixing tool may be reasonably attached to the bucket or like of when not in use and removed when required.

An object of this invention is to provide a device for the storage of viscous substances wallpaper paste-adhesives and furthermore the device provides for people of waist height.

In this way the container does not have to be stored on a paste table or the like of which would waste valuable space and nor does it have to be stored at ground level.

Which would result in the user having to continually bend down to load his/her;s paste brush or roller.

The invention comprises of a container and stand which elevates the container to the required height waist/paste table height from ground-level which gives you easier excess to the container and hence the wallpaper paste-adhesive more preferably the stand is hollow-base-shell-designed.

The container comprises of having a base and side walls extending upwardly there from where by at least one side of walls has a reduction in gradient in this way the container of the device may be filled with wallpaper paste-adhesive up to the level where the first reduction in gradient occurs in this way the wallpaper paste-adhesive is held within a reservoir.

Formed by the side of the walls having a change in gradient and when a user wishes to load a brush or roller with wallpaper paste-adhesive he coats/loads the side having the reduction in gradient with the paste-adhesive from the reservoir which is them applied to the surface as required.

The stand of the device interlocks with the container female-male fitting which holds the container of the device in a substantially stable position by having the correct/correspondent reductions in gradient which fits the reductions in gradient of the container resulting in a accurate-fitting-shape-design.

Preferably the device is made of a substantially resilient material such as plastics but any other suitable material such as metals.

Handles is included for the device for ease of carrying when required.

the device of the invention further comprises an airtight lid which is placed over the opening when the device is not being used to stop the paste-adhesive from turning into a unusable watery state.

There is also a 2 in 1 device which consists of stand and container which is manufactured in one unit which will be at paste table height from ground level

which consists of side walls extending upwardly there from the sides of the walls has a reduction in gradients.

In this way a reservoir is formed for the wallpaper paste-adhesive these devices our proper suited for both paste brushes and rollers.

A special embodiments of the invention will know be described by way of a example with reference to the drawings.
