| 20090064443 | PAINT TRAY AND PAINT TRAY CARRIER WITH DEPLOYABLE HANDLE - The present document describes a paint tray comprising: a base for use in holding paint; a U-shaped arm having two arm ends pivotally coupled to the base; and a handle deployable from the U-shaped arm by sliding thereon. The handle is used in carrying the paint tray. The document also describes a paint tray comprising: an arm; a coupling means for attachment of the arm to the paint tray; and a handle deployable from the arm. The handle is used for carrying the paint tray. Finally, there is described a carrier for a drip pan for holding paint, the carrier comprising: an arm comprising a coupling means for engaging the drip pan; and a handle deployable from the arm. The handle is used for carrying the drip pan. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090265875 | LAMINATED PULP DISPOSABLE PAINT TRAY - Recycled paper pulp is processed to form a rigid paint tray base. The paint tray base is then laminated with a film, which may be fully or partially recyclable and/or biodegradable. The film prevents saturation of the pulp from the paint's moisture, which would damage the integrity of the pulp. Once the painting is completed, the film may be separated from the pulp base. The pulp base may then be discarded with wastepaper or used for compost. The film may be recycled or disposed of with other non-biodegradable waste. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100287723 | Roller Surface Insert and Container Incorporating Same - A removable roller surface insert for use with a container of rollable liquid. The insert may, in one embodiment, include a roller surface having an upper edge, and an upper contact portion attached to the roller surface at or near the upper edge. The upper contact portion may be configured to contact an inner sidewall surface of the container at or near the upper rim. All, or substantially all, of the insert may be, when the insert is in a use position, located within a first half of the container, the first half defined by a vertical plane passing through a centerline of the container. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110214243 | Grid Paint Dipper - A grid paint scooping device which is an article of manufacture comprising; a vertical elongated substantially flat grid which is partially immersed into a paint container with a handle at the top of said flat grid and attached at the bottom of the flat grid is an outwardly extending horizontal scooping reservoir which is substantially parallel to the bottom of said paint container during paint scooping events, wherein said grid paint scooping device uses said scooping reservoir for lifting a sufficient amount of paint out of the paint container for the purpose of saturating a roller cover with said paint in the reservoir and removing the excessive paint from the roller cover by use of said flat grid to allow the right amount of the paint to be evenly distributed on the surface of the roller cover before painting objects with the roller cover. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20130291330 | Paint Distributing Plate System - There is provided a paint distributing plate system for insertion into a paint bucket having an external upper rim. The paint distributing plate system comprises a paint distributing plate with a lower part and an upper part, where the lower part has a width being smaller than the diameter of the largest cross-sectional dimension of the paint bucket, and a pair of adjustable attachment hook arrangements provided on the upper part of the paint distributing plate, one on each side of the paint distributing plate, for securing the paint distributing plate to the upper rim of the paint bucket. It is preferred that each of the adjustable attachment hook arrangements comprises an elongated fastening strip with a hook at one end thereof, and a locking profile secured to one side of the upper part of the distributing plate, where the locking profile locks the fastening strip with the hook extending a distance below the locking profile, said distance being adjustable, whereby the hook arrangement can be adjusted to fit to paint bucket upper rims of different widths or heights. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20140096338 | ROLLABLE PAINT TRAY - A rollable paint tray which will be maneuvered on a floor by the painter manipulating an extended handle of a paint roller assembly is disclosed. The tray will have a body, a plurality of rolling members and a structural configuration which permits placement of the paint roller on the tray where it will remain in contact during maneuvering of the tray by the painter. The body has a paint containment area, a paint roller containment area and a rolling surface area. The painter may easily replenish fresh paint on the paint roller and roll the paint roller to obtain a desired quantity and uniformity of coverage on the paint roller. The tray permits the painter to paint a large area, along a great distance, while remaining standing straight. This eliminates the conventional need for the painter to manually move their supply of fresh paint which often involves bending or squatting. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20160030973 | UNIVERSAL PAINT APPLICATOR AND PAINT CONTAINERS WITH HANDLES - A paint applicator configured for use in combination with a hollow-core paint roller cover includes a handle and a pair of pivot arms extending therefrom. Each pivot arm includes a proximate end rotatably mounted to the handle and an opposite, distal end to which is pivotably mounted a hub assembly. A pivot arm actuator is cooperatively linked to the pivot arms such that movement of the actuator in a first direction causes the pivot arms to rotate toward one another and movement of the actuator in a second direction causes the pivot arms to rotate away from one another. Each hub assembly includes a rotatable hub with an outer surface configured to frictionally engage the inside surface of the roller cover such that, when the pivot arms are rotated toward one another, the hubs enter and retain the roller between the pivot arms. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160031257 | Moveable Paint Tray - The moveable paint tray preferably includes a base ring, a peripheral wall, a sloped ramp, an engagement platform, a handle and a hood. The peripheral wall extends upward from an outer perimeter of the base ring. A liquid support surface is formed in a portion of an inner perimeter of the base ring. The sloped ramp extends upward from an end of the liquid support surface. The engagement platform extends from an end of the sloped ramp. A ramp wall extends inward and upward from an inner perimeter of the base ring to the sloped ramp and the engagement platform. The handle extends from an outer perimeter of the peripheral wall, adjacent the engagement platform. A drain spout is formed through the peripheral wall on an end opposite the handle. A second embodiment of the moveable paint tray does not include a hood for nesting multiple units together. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160185155 | Paint Roller Grid - An apparatus is configured for use with a container having a top rim.
