Abstract
An apparatus for shaking an aerosol spray paint container with a hand-held power drill includes a base member secured to the container by a band or a mounting bracket. The shaking apparatus further includes a first drive shaft rotatably mounted to the base; a second drive shaft is eccentrically mounted to the first drive shaft and is engaged by the rotatable chuck of the drill for causing the base member to rapidly oscillate and vibrate.
Claims17
An apparatus utilized in conjunction with a hand-held power drill for shaking a container of spray paint, the hand-held power drill including a rotatable chuck, the container of spray paint having a longitudinal axis and a cylindrical side wall, said apparatus comprising in combination:
- a. a base member;
- b. securing means for securing said base member to the cylindrical side wall of said spray paint container;
- c. a first cylindrical driveshaft rotatably mounted to said base member for movement about a first axis of rotation extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said spray paint container, said first cylindrical driveshaft having a front face substantially perpendicular to said first axis of rotation at an end of said first cylindrical driveshaft furthest from said spray paint container;
- d. a second generally cylindrical driveshaft extending outwardly from the front face of said first cylindrical driveshaft by a distance substantially commensurate with the length of the rotatable chuck of the hand-held power drill, said second generally cylindrical driveshaft having a diameter smaller than the diameter of said first cylindrical driveshaft, said second generally cylindrical driveshaft having a first end secured to said first cylindrical driveshaft and having a second end for being engaged by the rotatable chuck of the hand-held power drill, said second generally cylindrical driveshaft having a second axis of rotation extending substantially perpendicular to said front face of said first cylindrical driveshaft and substantially parallel to said first axis of rotation, said second axis of rotation being offset from said first axis of rotation for allowing a user to vibrate said base member and said spray paint container secured thereto by operating the hand-held power drill to rotate said second generally cylindrical driveshaft while holding said spray paint container loosely in one of the user's hands.
