Abstract

A Paint Edger Apparatus comprising mainly a Paint Protector Member and a Hand Engagement Member. The Paint Protector Member is basically composed of rigid structure having a center member with sides members mounted thereon which form a generally hollow rectangular-shaped structure. The side members are slanted downward and away from the center member. The center member also has opening members through which a Hand Engagement Member is coupled so that it may be moved towards and away from the center member. The Hand Engagement Member has a generally horizontal handle member which is positioned above the center member of the Paint Protector Member. Mounted on each end of the handle member are support members which extend downward through the opening members located on the center member of the Paint Protector Member. A spring member is also included as part of the Hand Engagement Member which provides resistance to the movement of the Hand Engagement Member in the downward direction. At the lower end of the support members are attachment members which are used to attach the Hand Engagement Member to a solid surface, such as plastic, glass, mirror, wood, drywall, etc.

A paint edger apparatus comprising:

a paint protector member having a rigid structure, said rigid structure having a center member and side members which extend outward and downward at an angle from said center member to create a hollow open area underneath;
a hand engagement member having an elongated handle member with at least one support member rigidly and perpendicularly mounted at one of its ends, said at least one support member configured to moveably couple said hand engagement member to said paint protector member, said at least one support member extending away from said handle member and into said hollow area of said paint protector member and having an attachment member mounted at its end and positioned within said hollow area;
said handle member and said paint protector member being located in parallel planes;
whereby said handle member of said hand engagement member is to push said attachment member of said hand engagement member against a solid surface, said attachment member configured to attach said hand engagement member and said paint protector member against said solid surface, such that said paint edger apparatus is configured to prohibit paint from being unintentionally applied to said solid surface.
