Abstract: A threaded adapter device couples a liquid compound applicator, such as a paint applicator, to a liquid compound container in a liquid-tight manner, where the liquid applicator and the liquid container cannot be directly joined because they have incompatible screw-on thread configurations, but the threaded adapter device provides threads compatible with the threads of both the liquid applicator and the liquid container, as well as providing a fluid channel from the liquid container to the liquid applicator.

Abstract: The invention is a roller liquid compound applicator configured to attach to the threaded neck of a liquid supply container for the purpose of applying a coating of a liquid compound to a target surface, and includes: a U-shaped roller support frame including a substantially cylindrical dispenser coupling cap and a drip guard attached to the dispenser coupling cap, the dispenser coupling cap having a threaded cavity configured for mating with the threaded neck of the liquid supply container; and a liquid compound roller sleeve secured to the roller support frame.

Abstract: A ported brush applicator includes a brush with a ferrule; an applicator base cap attached to the brush, the applicator base cap including a cap section having a cap opening sized and configured for attachment to a container; an applicator base mesa protruding from the cap section and secured within the ferrule, the applicator base mesa having a one tapered through hole and a fluid port having a first end in the brush and a second end in the tapered through hole.

Abstract: The invention is a method for applying ballistic protection to a vehicle door to protect against ballistic impact comprising: obtaining a plurality of ballistic-resistant panels, inserting each of said plurality of ballistic-resistant panels into an interior cavity of the vehicle door; and attaching each said plurality of ballistic-resistant panels to an interior surface of an exterior door panel of the vehicle door so as to form said contiguous ballistic-resistant panel assembly inside said interior cavity.

Abstract: The invention includes an adapter for attachment to a paint applicator including a substantially cylindrical body having a fluid channel extending through the cylindrical body; a male thread formed on an outer surface of the cylindrical body and configured for removable attachment to the paint applicator; a first female thread extending into the fluid channel from a first end of the cylindrical body; a second female thread extending into the fluid channel from a second end of the cylindrical body; and a transfer channel extending between the first female thread and the second female thread so as to form the fluid channel.
