BRUSHED COATING FLUID DISPENSER

Abstract

A paint brush includes a sleeve [NO SLEEVE] circumscribing a portion of a handle and a portion of a plurality of bristles. A plug [NO PLUG] can be coupled to the handle The plug can extend away from the handle into the plurality of bristles to form a space [NO SPACE FORMED BETWEEN BRISTLES] between the bristles. An extension and a recess [NO RECESS] can be formed between the handle and the resin with the extension extending from one of the handle or resin and into the recess in the other of the handle or resin

Description

WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A preferred embodiment is a mixture of flexible strands of differentiated lengths and strengths within a paintbrush head to form the circumferential barrier of a chamber to carry and evenly distribute coating fluid from a container to a surface without dripping. Upon thrusting into fluid, the shorter strand members flex apart for fluid passage into the chamber; upon withdrawal from the fluid, the longer weaker strand members close the distal end of the brush head chamber, stopping fluid flow. When stroking contact is made with the surface to be coated, the longer weaker strand members bend parallel to the surface, allowing coating fluid flow to the surface in thickness proportionate to the lateral difference between the longer strands and the shorter strands, eliminating many smoothing strokes.

The drawings describe the active members comprising the coating fluid dispenser embodiment during filling and discharge of the coating fluid.

FIG. 1 describes the coating fluid dispenser during filling with the fluid. View 1 is a partial section showing resilient strands: 1 short stiff strands and long weak strands 2 surrounding a chamber 3 as separated from each other by bending forces during thrust 4 into coating fluid 5 within a container 6; view 1 also shows the location of longer strands 2 with split ends 7 directed away from the chamber.

View 2 is a partial section showing resilient strands: 1 short stiff strands and long weak strands 2 surrounding a chamber 3 containing coating fluid 5 as held together by surface tension of the fluid on the strands during withdrawal 8 from a container 6; view 2 also shows the location of longer strands 2 with split ends 7 directed away from the chamber

FIG. 2 describes the coating fluid dispenser during discharge of the fluid. View 1 is a partial section view showing shorter stiffer resilient filaments 1 deflected against a surface 9 being coated 5; view 1 also shows the longer strands 2 extended against the surface 9. Chamber 3 releases coating 5 as the stroking 10 extends the longer strand ends 7 along the surface 9.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE PRIOR ART OF FLUID BRUSHING EMBODIMENTS

Common paint brushes used for color refreshment of interior living space and coating home exteriors are most often constructed of natural animal strands or synthetic plastic filaments (not in combination) in rows and clusters spaced to expose the bristle or strand to the fluid restricting the fluid volume to the space between each fiber/strand. Common brushes taper the distal ends of the filaments to create flow from the thicker end of each allowing flow to occur without contact with the surface to be coated (commonly called dripping). Distorting the distal end of each strand reduces, but does not prevent dripping. Fluid held between filaments exits between strands upon contact with forces at the distal end because the lateral contact widens between each strand allowing fluid to flow between (called oozing or drools). Dripping and drooling of paint upon person and furnishings is an aggravation and costly. Cleanliness in the work and chore of living space color refreshment is encumbered by the creation of uncontrolled fluid during the work requiring slowness and excess cleaning work time/activity. Avoiding messy chores detracts from joyful living. None of the prior art listed below concern with the avoidance of messiness.

ADVANTAGES OF THE BRUSHED COATING FLUID DISPENSER

One or more aspects of the brushed coating fluid dispenser embodiment have the advantage(s) that the coating/chemical is constrained from dripping and oozing (drools) onto persons and assets. My Coating Fluid Dispenser provides fluid only to the surface when the surface is in contact repositioning the finer strands; the invention teaches a chamber space to eliminate frequent reloading (dipping) reduces untimely release (dripping) messiness/clean-up, saving work, time and energy. In addition the trailing of finer strands reduces the number of strokes to smooth the coating along the surface.

BACKGROUND

While redecorating internal living space and refreshing exterior dwelling colors, the chore is encumbered by the necessity to prevent drips upon person and assets. Paint chemicals can cause skin irritation and is difficult to remove from fabric. Many folks avoid these difficulties by passing the chore to persons who work at slower pace to insure smears do not cause aggravation. Cleaning up of smears and drips from the coating project becomes time/cost consuming and may destroy valued assets. To eliminate the root cause of this encumbrance, one or more aspects of the brushed coating fluid dispenser will eliminate drip and drools of coating chemicals, thereby protecting user's skin and valued assets. In addition, more strokes often consume time, energy and muscle strain to smooth coating the coating.

Claims

1. A coating fluid dispenser comprising:

a plurality of strands mixed to form a boundary around a chamber wherein the strands are varied in length, the shorter strands being stiffer and thicker than the longer strands.

2. A coating fluid dispenser in accordance with claim 1, further comprising:

a plurality of strands mixed to form a boundary around a chamber wherein the strands are varied in length and stiffness, the longer strands being of natural bristle with the split ends proximal and the shorter strands being of plastic filaments, stiffer and thicker than the longer bristles.
