Abstract
A unique two piece, hand held, device having an ergonomic and ambidextral hand holder with a detachable, and/or interchangeable, sponge-like, image imprinting element is disclosed. The imprinting element is preferably made of a unitary piece of a sponge body having an ornamental design embossed into the printing face. The embossed printing face is dipped into a paint and the paint is transferred to the desired surface by pressing the printing surface of the sponge body against the surface to be decorated.

A device for applying an ornamental image upon a surface comprising:
- a) a holder having an open end and a peripheral lip extending radially inward from said open end;
- b) a resilient, self-restoring sponge-like body releasably attaching to said peripheral lip of said holder and an imprinting portion for applying said ornamental image upon said surface;
- and
- wherein said holder comprises a dome-like, concave configuration with the peripheral lip extending about its open end so that said lip attaches to a corresponding groove in said sponge-like body to mount said sponge-like body to said holder.
A device for applying an ornamental image upon a surface comprising:
- a) a holder, said holder comprising a dome-like, hollow, concave configuration having a circumscribing peripheral lip about its open end, wherein said lip attaches to a corresponding circumscribing peripheral groove in a resilient, self-restoring sponge-like body to mount said sponge-like body to said holder, said lip further extending outward beyond the outer periphery of said holder forming a circumferential rim there around;
- and
- b) the resilient, self-restoring sponge-like body having a first interlocking portion being releasably attached to said holder and a second imprinting portion for applying said ornamental image upon said surface.
A paint applying device for applying an ornamental design upon a wall surface comprising in combination:
- a) an open end, hollow, bowl-like, hand held holder having a planer peripheral flange circumscribing the periphery of said open end, said flange including a radially inward extending lip portion and a radially outward extending rim portion;
- b) a unitary compressible, self restoring sponge body having a first portion being removably attached to said holder and a second portion having a paint retaining and applying face, said face including relieved portions therein defining an ornamental design to be applied to said wall surface.
