Abstract
Apparatus and method for painting an object. The object is affixed to a holder and a reservoir of paint is formed either on or adjacent to the surface of the object. The holder then is tilted sufficiently to cause a paint distribution device, such as a sphere or spinning top, to travel through the pain and across the surface of the object, leaving paint along the travel path of the paint distribution device.
Claims16
An apparatus for applying a medium to an object wherein the medium is selected from the group consisting of paint, ink, dyes and colorings, the apparatus comprising;
- (a) an application surface upon which the object is placed;
- (b) holder means attached to the application surface for securing the object in place on the application surface;
- (c) medium reservoir means attached to the application surface for storing the medium and adapted to receive a medium distribution means;
- and
- (d) medium distribution means adapted to travel across the object and through the medium reservoir means as the application surface is tilted to distribute medium from the medium reservoir means along the travel path of the medium distribution means.
A method for applying a medium to the surface of an object, wherein the medium is selected from the group consisting of paint, ink, dyes and colorings, the method comprising:
- (a) affixing the object to a holder;
- (b) forming a reservoir of the medium on the holder;
- and
- (c) tilting the holder in a manner sufficient to force a medium distribution device to travel through the medium reservoir and across the surface of the object to distribute the medium along t he travel path of the medium distribution device.
