Shield Device

A painting accessory device comprising:

• a panel defining a continuous surface wherein the panel is configured for being positioned to cover a covered surface while a substance is applied to a exposed surface, the panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges being coupled to and extending between the top edge and the bottom edge, the panel having a front side being planar wherein the front side is configured to be positionable flush against the covered surface when the covered surface is planar, the panel having a back side being planar wherein the back side is configured to be positionable flush against the covered surface when the covered surface is planar, the pair of side edges being perpendicular to each of the top edge and the bottom edge wherein the panel is rectangular;
• a pair of wings being pivotably coupled to the panel wherein each wing of the pair of wings is pivotable forwardly and backwardly relative to the panel wherein the pair of wings are configured for positioning at a junction between the covered surface and an intersecting surface to inhibit the substance from being applied to the covered surface and the intersecting surface, each wing of the pair of wings being positioned to extend from a respective side edge of the pair of side edges, each wing of the pair of wings including:
• a forward face being coplanar with the front side of the panel when each wing of the pair of wings is parallel to the panel, the forward face being planar wherein the forward face is configured to be positionable flush against the intersecting surface when the intersecting surface is planar;
• and
• a rearward face being coplanar with the back side of the panel when each wing of the pair of wings is parallel to the panel, the rearward face being planar wherein the rearward face is configured to be positionable flush against the intersecting surface when the intersecting surface is planar;
• a plurality of couplers pivotably attaching the pair of wings to the panel, each coupler of the plurality of couplers being forwardly and backwardly pivotable wherein the plurality of couplers facilitate each wing of the pair of wings in pivoting forwardly and backwardly relative to the panel, each coupler of the plurality of couplers being a double action hinge, the plurality of couplers including:
• a primary member being positioned to extend between the front side of the panel and the forward face of a first wing of the pair of wings, the primary member being centered between the top edge and the bottom edge of the panel;
• a secondary member being positioned to extend between the front side of the panel and the forward face of a second wing of the pair of wings, the secondary member being aligned with the primary member on a horizontal axis extending between the pair of side edges of the panel;
• a tertiary member being positioned to extend between the back side of the panel and the rearward face of the first wing of the pair of wings, the tertiary member being centered between the top edge and the bottom edge of the panel wherein the tertiary member is aligned with the primary member on a vertical axis extending between the front side and the back side of the panel, the vertical axis being perpendicular to the horizontal axis;
• and
• a quaternary member being positioned to extend between the back side of the panel and the rearward face of the second wing of the pair of wings, the quaternary member being aligned with the tertiary member on the horizontal axis extending between the pair of side edges of the panel;
• a handle being coupled to the panel wherein the handle is configured to facilitate positioning a selectable one of the front side and the rear side of the panel to cover the covered surface, the handle including:
• a grip extending from the bottom edge of the panel, the grip being centered between the pair of side edges;
• a finger being pivotably coupled to the grip wherein the finger is pivotable upwardly and downwardly relative to the grip to adjust an angle between the panel and the handle, the finger being distally positioned on the grip relative to the panel;
• and
• an arm being coupled to and extending from the finger, the arm being elongated wherein the arm is configured to facilitate a user in holding the handle to position the selectable one of the front side and the rear side of the panel to cover the covered surface, the arm including:
• a first member being removably couplable to the finger wherein the first member facilitates removal of the arm from the finger to facilitate storage of the handle, the first member being threadably couplable to the finger;
• a second member being nested within the first member wherein the second member is extendable and retractable relative to the first member to adjust a length of the arm;
• and
• a third member being coupled to the second member wherein the third member is distally positioned on the second member relative to the first member, the third member having a diameter exceeding a diameter of the second member wherein the third member is positionable to abut the first member when the second member is fully retracted into the first member.
