Abstract
A paint brush holder having a threaded opening for receiving a standard threaded extension rod of any desired length. The paint brush holder further includes a unique handle clamp for securely retaining the handle of the paint brush at multiple angles with respect to the received extension rod. By securing the paint brush at the desired angle and attaching the extension rod, a painter is able to access and paint, in a controlled manner, high, hard to reach painting locations such as ceiling corners, edges, moldings and trim.
Claims11
A painting tool, comprising:
- means for receiving an extension means to reach a high, hard to reach painting location;
- first means connected to the means for receiving for clamping onto a handle of a means for applying paint, the first means positioning the clamped means for applying paint at a first orientation parallel to and aligned with said means for receiving an extension means for painting the high, hard to reach painting location;
- and
- second means connected to the means for receiving for clamping onto a handle of a means for applying paint, the second means positioning the clamped means for applying paint at a second orientation for painting the high, hard to reach painting location, the second orientation angled away from the first orientation.
