Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a protector for protecting paint brushes and paint rollers having paint thereon, and more particularly to a such a protector that also covers a person's hand while holding the paint brush or paint roller, during use.
- After using a paint roller or paint brush, it is necessary to either clean the paint roller or paint brush, or discard it. It is very common for people, especially occasional painters, as opposed to professional painters, to clean paint rollers and paint brushes insufficiently after they have been used. Indeed, it is actually quite a time consuming and onerous task to thoroughly and properly clean a paint roller or paint brush.
- Further, during the use of a paint roller, and especially a paint brush, it is common for a person, especially an occasional painter, to have paint run down the handle of the brush and onto the person's hand, which is highly undesirable.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,967,903 issued Nov. 6, 1990 to Kettle et al, discloses a used paint brush preservation device comprising a sealed sachet containing a predetermined quantity of brush preserving liquid. The sachet can be opened by cutting along one edge to permit the brush head to be inserted therein and immediately after use to prevent the brush from drying out. Preferably, the sachet is made from a deformable foil which can be wrapped around the brush handle to reseal the sachet.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a protector for precluding paint brushes and paint rollers from drying out after use.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a protector for precluding paint brushes and paint rollers from drying out after use, wherein a supplemental object is not required to ready the protector for use.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a protector for precluding paint brushes and paint rollers from drying out after use, which protector also at least partially covers a person's hand while holding the paint brush or paint roller, during use.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is disclosed a novel protector for protecting paint brushes and paint rollers having paint thereon. The protector comprises a main body having a substantially hollow interior for receiving the head portion of a paint brush or the roller member of a paint roller therein such that the main body surrounds the head portion of a paint brush or the roller member of a paint roller. The main body is made from a flexible material that is substantially impervious to the passage of air, water, and oil. A first opening is provided in the main body for permitting a paint brush or paint roller to pass therethrough. There is means for selectively sealing the first opening to thereby preclude a paint brush or paint roller from passing therethrough and to preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior of the main body through the first opening. A second opening is provided in the main body disposed in opposed relation to the first opening, for permitting the handle of a paint brush or paint roller to be received therein. There is also means for selectively sealing the second opening when the handle of a paint brush or paint roller is received therein, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior of the main body through the second opening.
- Other advantages, features and characteristics of the present invention, as well as methods of operation and functions of the related elements of the structure, and the combination of parts and economies of manufacture, will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and the appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawings, the latter of which is briefly described herein below.
- The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the paint roller and brush protector according to the present invention, as to its structure, organization, use and method of operation, together with further objectives and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following drawings in which a presently preferred embodiment of the invention will now be illustrated by way of example. It is expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only, and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention. In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a preferred embodiment of the protector according to the present invention;FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side elevational view of the protector ofFIG. 1 , taken along section line2-2;FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion ofFIG. 2 ;FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion ofFIG. 2 ;FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the protector ofFIG. 1 , with a paint brush received therein;FIG. 6 is a top plan view similar toFIG. 5 , but with the protector having been folded back over the handle of the paint brush;FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the protector ofFIG. 1 , with a paint roller received therein; andFIG. 8 is a top plan view similar toFIG. 5 , but with the protector having been folded back over the handle of the paint roller.- Reference will now be made to
FIGS. 1 through 8 , which show a first preferred embodiment of the protector for protecting paint brushes and paint rollers having paint thereon, according to the present invention, as indicated bygeneral reference numeral 20. Theprotector 20 comprises amain body 30 that is substantially rectangular in shape, but may be any suitable shape. Themain body 30 has afirst end edge 31, asecond end edge 32, aleft side edge 33, and aright side edge 34. Preferably, themain body 30 comprises a bag havingfirst sheet 36 and asecond sheet 38 adjoined in parallel relation one to the other. Thefirst sheet 36 and thesecond sheet 38 are actually either two co-operating sheets of material adjoined together along itssecond end edge 32,left side edge 33, andright side edge 34, or a single sheet of material folded onto itself at one of its edges, except itsfirst end edge 31, and joined together along its edges, except for itsfirst end edge 31. - The
main body 30 is made from a flexible material that is substantially impervious to the passage of air, water, and oil, and typically comprises either a plastic material or a foil material. Any other suitable material may also be used. - The
main body 30 has a substantially hollow interior39 for receiving thehead portion 42 of apaint brush 40 or theroller member 52 of apaint roller 50 therein such that themain body 30 surrounds the,head portion 42 of thepaint brush 40 or theroller member 52 of thepaint roller 50. - There is a
first opening 60 disposed at thefirst end 31 of themain body 30 for permitting apaint brush 40 orpaint roller 50 to pass therethrough. Preferably, thefirst opening 60 extends the entire length of thefirst end 31 of themain body 30. There is also means for selectively sealing the first opening, to thereby preclude a paint brush or paint roller from passing therethrough and to preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior of themain body 30 through the first opening60. In the preferred embodiment, as illustrated, the means for selectively sealing the first opening comprises a self-sealing plastic strip commonly known as a ZIP-LOC™, as indicated by thegeneral reference numeral 70. The self-sealing plastic strip comprises amale strip portion 72 mounted on the inner face36a of the first sheet ofmaterial 36 and afemale strip portion 74 mounted on the inner face38aof the second sheet ofmaterial 38 in opposed relation to themale strip portion 72. - A
second opening 80 is disposed at the opposedsecond end 32 of themain body 30, in opposed relation to the first opening60. Thesecond opening 80 is substantially smaller than the first opening60, and is for permitting thehandle 44 of apaint brush 40 or handle54 of apaint roller 50 to be received therein, as can be best seen inFIGS. 5 through 8 . There is also means for selectively sealing the second opening when thehandle 44 of apaint brush 40 or thehandle 54 of a paint roller is received therein, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 through thesecond opening 80. The means for selectively sealing the second opening comprises a length oftape 90 having an adhesive on one face thereof, preferably a peel-and-stick type of tape. In other words, theadhesive face 92 of the tape has arelease paper 94 on it that is peeled off for use. - In use, for protecting a
paint brush 40, as can be best seen inFIGS. 5 and 6 , the self-sealingplastic strip 70 is opened and thepaint brush 40 is inserted through the first opening60 and into the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 of theprotector 20 such that thehandle 44 of thepaint brush 40 is received in the second opening80, as can be best seen inFIG. 5 . Therelease paper 94 is removed from thetape 90 and thetape 90 is adhered together and to thepaint brush 44, so as to selectively seal thesecond opening 80, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 through thesecond opening 80. The self-sealingplastic strip 70 may be closed to seal off thefirst opening 60, if desired, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 through the first opening60. - As can be best seen in
FIG. 6 , the during painting, theprotector 20 is folded back over itself so as to expose thehead 42 of thepaint brush 40, and to cover thehandle 44 of thepaint brush 40. As such, a person's hand would be covered while holding thepaint brush 40 during use, and paint would not run onto a person's hand. - In use, for protecting a
paint roller 50, as can be best seen inFIGS. 7 and 8 , the self-sealingplastic strip 70 is opened and thepaint roller 50 is inserted through the first opening60 and into the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 of theprotector 20 such that thehandle 54 of thepaint roller 50 is received in the second opening80, as can be best seen inFIG. 7 . Therelease paper 94 is removed from thetape 90 and thetape 90 is adhered together and to thepaint roller 50, so as to selectively seal thesecond opening 80, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 through thesecond opening 80. The self-sealingplastic strip 70 may be closed to seal off thefirst opening 60, if desired, to thereby preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior39 of themain body 30 through the first opening60. - As can be best seen in
FIG. 8 , the during painting, theprotector 20 is folded back over itself so as to expose theroller member 52 of thepaint roller 50, and to cover thehandle 54 of thepaint roller 50. As such, a person's hand would be covered while holding thepaint roller 50 during use, and paint would not run onto a person's hand. - As can be understood from the above description and from the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides a protector for precluding paint brushes and paint rollers from drying out after use, wherein a supplemental object is not required to ready the protector for use, and which protector also at least partially covers a person's hand while holding the paint brush or paint roller, during use, all of which features are unknown in the prior art.
- Other variations of the above principles will be apparent to those who are knowledgeable in the field of the invention, and such variations are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. Further, other modifications and alterations may be used in the design and manufacture of the protector of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the accompanying claims.
