Abstract
A paint dispenser which, when pushed against a surface, releases a metered amount of phosphorescent paint or fluorescent paint in sufficient quantity to simulate a single star when room lighting is turned off. The pump is mounted to a common handle by screw-on means so that an operator's reach is extended from normal standing height to a height sufficient to contact the ceiling with the depositor.
Claims5
