Patent number: 7939593Abstract: The present invention is directed to the provision of premixed aqueous compositions which are used to provide a paint composition of varying finish characteristics at the point of sale. Thus, the merchant distributing the paint composition made from the subject premixed compositions need only maintain inventory of four compositions. The particular compositions which are the subject of the invention exhibit stable characteristics during storage in their respective reservoirs. The compositions include a pigment composition, a dispersant thickening agent, a high resin content binder, and a low resin content binder. The compositions are combined in differing amounts to produce paint compositions being suitable for either interior or exterior use and having differing sheens, quality levels, and color bases.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Coatings Management Systems Inc.Inventors: C. Daniel McClain, Randall L. Hughes

Patent number: 7695185Abstract: The provision of premixed aqueous compositions are used to provide a paint composition of varying finish characteristics at the point of sale. Paint components are combined in differing amounts to produce paint compositions being suitable for either interior or exterior use and having differing sheens, quality levels, and color bases. A user interface to input a desired amount of paint composition and controller is provided. The controller tracks the available amount of the components by subtracting the amounts in the supply reservoirs as they are supplied to the receiving reservoir. The controller determines whether availability components in the supply reservoirs is sufficient for the amount of the desired aqueous paint composition by subtracting the amount components for the desired aqueous paint composition to be produced from the amount in the plurality of supply reservoirs.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2005Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Coatings Management Systems, Inc.Inventors: C.

Patent number: 6221145Abstract: A process for producing water-based paint from a plurality of premixed compositions includes mixing at least two of a pigment composition, a dispersant thickening agent, a high resin content binder, and a low resin content binder. The pigment composition includes a pigment, water, a mixture of clay and silica, a viscosity controlling agent, and a dispersant thickener. The dispersant thickening agent includes a phosphate-based dispersant, water, a cellulosic thickener, and a coalescent.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Coating Management Systems, Inc.Inventor: C.
