Claims1
A paint applicator syringe, comprising,
- a tubular body, the tubular body having an externally threaded first end portion spaced from a tubular body second end portion, with the second end portion including an annular flange projecting exteriorly of the tubular body, and
- a conical head, the conical head including an internally threaded skirt in secured orientation relative to the externally threaded first end portion, with the conical head further including an outlet tube, the outlet tube having an outlet opening, and
- a plunger rod, the plunger rod slidably directed through the tubular body, having a piston with the piston including a cylindrical seal, the cylindrical seal arranged for sealing engagement within the tubular body defining a fluid cavity between the seal and the outlet opening, and
- a bifurcated mount integrally secured to the conical head, and an actuator lever, the actuator lever including an actuator lever lug, the actuator lever lug received within the bifurcated mount, with an axle removably mounted through the actuator lug and the actuator lever, with the actuator lever including a first end positioned over the tubular body, and the actuator lever including a second end, with the second end having a metering flange in contiguous communication with the outlet opening, whereupon displacement of the actuator lever first end towards the tubular body effects displacement of the metering flange relative to the outlet opening, and
- a lever spring captured between the actuator lever first end and the tubular body, and
- an externally threaded adjuster rod threadedly directed through the actuator lever and the lever spring, with the adjuster rod including an adjuster rod annular flange rotatably mounted within the tubular body.
