Paint applicator

Abstract

A paint applicator comprises a frame with a flat side which carries an absorbent pad; the other side of the frame supports a handle. The axles for a pair of rollers depend from a hinged mount supported on the handled face of said frame; the axles are parallel and are inclined toward one margin of the frame. The angle of the hinged mount with respect to the frame is adjustable. The rolling face of the rollers may have a circumferential groove such that, in use, the applicator may edge the paint on a surface adjacent a narrow moulding with a circumferential groove of the rolling surface of the rollers abutting the bevelled corner of the moulding. In another embodiment, the rollers have a knife-edged rolling face which abuts in the inside corner between the surface to be painted and the moulding. In a further embodiment, the rollers are replaced with a stationary knifed-edged abutment which is also intended to abut the inside corner between the surface to be painted and the moulding.
