Abstract: The invention is directed to a multi-adjustable paint applicator assembly including an elongated handle with a first adjustment assembly that provides angular movement of an upper handle portion with respect to a lower handle portion. A base is rotatably connected to the handle by a second adjustment assembly that provides rotational movement of the base with respect to the handle. The base also has an upper portion with a receiver that slidingly engages a projection extending from a paint applicator. The paint applicator may be a paint brush, roller or pad with an applicator surface. The first and second adjustment assemblies each include a fastener and an arrangement of mating members that intermesh with another arrangement of mating members, wherein the fastener provides tension between the arrangements to releasably secure the angular or rotational position.

Abstract: A keypad configuration for an electronic device has a housing (180) with one or more push buttons (110) having centers (113), a maximum radius (115), and a maximum height (215). A specific area (118) surrounds each push button and has a minimum radius (129) that is at least five times as long as the maximum radius of the push button or at least three times as long as the maximum height of the push button. No additional push buttons are within this specific area. The size, height, and spacing of the push buttons provide a point contact sensation to a user's fingertip, which prevents a user from pressing more than one key at a time and provides space for alphanumeric labels beside each push button. This keypad configuration is particularly suited for portable electronic devices where a small keypad is desirable, such as cellular telephones.
