  • Publication number: 20150003886
    Abstract: A lipstick painting tool having a cover sleeve that is moveable between a proximal position exposing painting bristles and a distal position covering the painting bristles. The cover sleeve is moveable through relative rotation of the same along a base shaft such that engaged internal and external threads cause movement along a longitudinal axis. The paint bristles are part of a tip that is removable and replaceable. The tool may include an extension coupling for receiving an extension tool. A central paint tube may be included to supply paint directly to the bristles from a paint reservoir as by pump or similar means.

  • Patent number: 8834054
    Abstract: A paint trimmer with a three-part edging guide includes a paint applicator, a paint distributing manifold and a handle. The three-part edging guide includes a paint mask, a spacer, and a beveled trimmer guide. The three-part edging guide components work together to allow the paint trimmer to create a straight edge of paint along a surface without any extra traditional masking needed to prevent paint from being applied to any unwanted areas.

  • Patent number: 8832897
    Abstract: An improved dual paint roller frame has a pliers-like construction to allow for roller covers to be moved closer together or farther apart depending upon the surface to be painted. Dual-roller covers are disposed on pivotable roller arms such that the relative angle of one roller cover to the other roller cover can be adjusted depending upon the surface to be painted. The pivot point of the pliers-like construction is switchable such that the pliers selectively apply complementary or opposite movement to the roller covers. A roller cover lock allows the paint roller to function with different sizes of roller covers. An end cap may include an adjustable length roller guide to bias the roller arms away from walls, window sills and the like.

  • Publication number: 20140249006
    Abstract: A paint roller end cap for use with paint roller covers to keep a minimum spacing between the end of the paint roller cover and an adjacent surface to a painting surface. The end cap is configured for removable attachment to an exposed end of the paint roller cover. The end cap is either an annular ring for snug fit attachment to an end plug in the roller cover or a flat disk and stem for snug fit insertion into a central tube on the roller cover. The end cap includes one of a plurality of rib, a plurality of grooves, or a protruding disk to provide the minimum spacing from the adjacent surface.

  • Patent number: 8726449
    Abstract: An adjustable length paint roller frame with a handle and a roller arm. The frame includes a rotatable roller cover lock slidably mounted on the roller arm and a rotatable end cap. A roller cover is also mounted on the roller arm in between the roller cover lock and the end cap. The roller cover lock and end cap allow for roller covers of different lengths and diameters to be used with the adjustable length paint roller frame. The end cap can also include adjustable roller guides to space the roller cover a desired distance away from a given object. Additionally, the roller frame handle may be configured as a split handle that accommodates a second roller arm.

  • Patent number: 8647005
    Abstract: The paint trimmer includes a rigid base and a handle removably attachable to the base. The handle includes a bladder for storing paint. A paint applicator is associated with the base and fluidly coupled to the bladder via a manifold. Accordingly, a user may selectively dispense paint from the bladder to the paint applicator via the manifold for application to a surface to be painted. A paint mask associated with the base and offset from the paint applicator prevents paint from dispensing to undesired locations of the surface.
