Abstract
A paint trimming device is provided for applying paint to a first surface closely adjacent to an adjoining surface. The device comprises a base having opposing faces and a body portion extending between the faces, a a handle projecting outwardly from one face and having extension capability (such as being connectable to an extension pole), a paint pad having a peripheral edge and being secured to the base upon the other face, and a spacer which extends outwardly from the body portion and has its outermost points defining a closed linear boundary whose perpendicular projection, in a plane in which the paint pad lies, completely surrounds and is spaced from the peripheral edge of the paint pad.

A paint trimming device for applying paint to a first surface closely adjacent to an adjoining second surface, comprising:
- a base having opposing first and second faces and a body portion extending between the faces;
- a handle means projecting outwardly from the first face such that it can be gripped by a user closely adjacent to the base, and also having extension capability allowing the user to manipulate the base from a position remote from the base;
- a paint pad means, for carrying paint to be applied to the first surface, which has a peripheral edge and is secured to the base upon the second face thereof;
- and
- spacer means, extending outwardly from the body portion of the base, for spacing the peripheral edge of the paint pad means from and out of contact with the second surface while applying paint to the first surface, the outermost points of the spacer means defining a closed linear boundary whose perpendicular projection, in a plane in which the paint pad means lies, completely surrounds and is spaced from the peripheral edge of the paint pad means.
