US 10,877,459 B2 · Apparatus for outlining on vertical surface and methods of use

Abstract

The present invention provides for a wall mountable system for automated drawing of an image upon a wall which includes a horizontal mounting track for mounting on a wall, a robot having a y-track rigidly mounted it where the robot and the mounted y-track travel along the horizontal track. An end effector, which includes a pen holding mechanism holding a pen, is in electrical communication with the robot and travels along the y-track of the robot. The present invention provides a system and device that can attach to a wall or vertical surface in a damage-free manner and draw fast any complexity or style image of custom size in both the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) directions, that is easy to remove and transport and require small floor space to operate.

Dependent claims

A system for automated drawing an image upon a substantially planar vertical wall, the system comprising:

a. a mounting track;
b. connecting means for detachably connecting the mounting track to the vertical wall in a substantially horizontal orientation;
c. a robot movably connected to, and traveling along said mounting track in a horizontal direction and having a y-track rigidly mounted to and extending from the robot at a proximal end and being perpendicular to the mounting track, and having a distal end slidably engaging the vertical wall;
and
d. a drawing instrument movably connected to and traveling along the y-track of said robot in a vertical direction and with movement of the robot along the mounting track in a horizontal direction to create the image on the vertical wall.
