Abstract
An applicator for applying paints, cleaners and the like to walls with limited surface clearance provided. An offset handle is connected to a thin, flat backing plate which, in turn, carries a cover. The cover is wetted with paint or cleaner to be applied to walls with limited surface clearance such as behind toilets and water heaters.
Claims1
A device for applying materials to walls with limited surface clearance comprising:
- a Z-shaped handle with a thin, flat adaptor at its distal end,
- a thin, flat, generally rectangular backing plate,
- two pairs of grommets carried by said backing plate,
- said adaptor having a hole extending through its distal end, and
- pin means removably extending through a pair of said grommets and said hole to connect said adaptor to said backing plate such that said flat adaptor rotates about said pin means and may lie against said backing plate to reduce the overall thickness of the device to a minimum, and such that said pin means may be removed from one pair of grommets, said backing plate may be rotated and said pin means may be inserted into said second pair of grommets to change the size of the path covered by said backing plate.
