Abstract
A forearm supported tray (33) includes one or more compartments (37a, 37b), a corrugated roll-on area (50) and handle means (39, 42) allowing securement and control by hand or part thereof. The tray is designed to add convenience and improve safety when used for painting, touching-up or similar applications particularly those performed on hard to reach areas when using a ladder or similar means.
Claims15
A paint tray comprising:
- at least one reservoir for holding paint, the reservoir being sized to receive an applicator for removing paint from the reservoir;
- a forearm support with the reservoir for resting at least partly on a forearm of a user, the reservoir being of a depth greater than the diameter of a forearm of a user;
- and
- an aperture extending forwardly of the reservoir and the forearm support for accommodating a thumb of the user whereby with the forearm support resting on the forearm of the user and the thumb of the user through the aperture, the reservoir is securely positioned relative to the forearm of the user.

A paint tray comprising:
- a pair of spaced reservoirs for holding paint, the reservoir being sized to receive an applicator for removing paint from the reservoirs;
- a forearm support between the reservoirs for resting at least partly on a forearm of a user, at least part of the reservoirs or forearm support being at least partly corrugated, the reservoir being of a depth greater than the forearm of a user;
- and
- an aperture extending forwardly of the reservoirs and the forearm support for accommodating a thumb of the user with the forearm support resting on the forearm of the user.
1 more element
A paint tray comprising:
- two spaced reservoirs for holding paint, the reservoir being sized to receive an applicator for removing paint from the reservoirs;
- an arch between the reservoirs and extending below the top of the reservoirs whereby paint can be transferred between reservoirs without reaching the top of the reservoirs;
- a forearm support rigidly affixed with the reservoirs for resting at least partly on a forearm of a User, such that reservoirs depend downwardly below the forearm of the user and the reservoirs each having a respective flat base for supporting the reservoirs stably on a foundation;
- and
- an aperture extending forwardly of the reservoir and the forearm support for accommodating a thumb of the user, whereby with the forearm support resting on the forearm of the user and the thumb of the user through the aperture, the reservoir is securely positioned relative to the forearm of the user when the reservoirs are raised from the foundation and supported on the forearm.
