Abstract
A floor coating application device with a rigid body having attached thereto a removable applicator and a removable weight system. The rigid body having a planar surface with radial edges to facilitate the uniform application of a coating material to a surface. The removable applicator being a material suitable for uniformly spreading a coating material without flaws or shedding and attached to the rigid body in such a manner as to minimize the wicking of coating material through the applicator. The removable weight system capable of providing a consistent force against the rigid body to improve the uniformity of coating thicknesses. The floor coating application device is used to spread coating material with a handle connected to the rigid body or a mechanical coating device.
Claims24
A floor coating application device comprising:
- at least one rigid body having a bottom surface, a front radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a front side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, a back radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a back side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, each of said surfaces terminating at a top surface opposite said bottom surface, said at least one rigid body having beveled ends, each of said side surfaces coated with a slick low surface tension material consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene;
- an applicator removably connected to said at least one rigid body, the applicator covering at least a portion of said bottom surface of said at least one rigid body;
- a force control system connected to the top surface of said at least one rigid body;
- and a handle connected to one of said at least one rigid body and said force control system by an attachment.
A floor coating application device comprising:
- at least one rigid body having a planar bottom surface, a front radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a front side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, a back radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a back side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, each of said side surfaces terminating at a top surface opposite said bottom surface, said at least one rigid body having beveled ends, each of said side surfaces coated with polytetrafluoroethylene;
- an applicator removably connected to said at least one rigid body, a portion of said applicator covering said bottom surface of said at least one rigid body;
- a force control system removably connected to said top surface of said at least one rigid body;
- a handle attachment connected to said at least one rigid body;
- and
- a handle connected to said handle attachment.
A floor coating application device comprising:
- at least one rigid body having a planar bottom surface, a front radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a front side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, a back radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a back side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, each of said side surfaces terminating at a top surface opposite said bottom surface, and beveled ends, each of said side surfaces coated with polytetrafluoroethylene;
- an applicator removably connected to said at least one rigid body, a portion of said applicator covering said bottom surface of said at least one rigid body;
- a force control system removably connected to said at least one rigid body;
- and
- a coupling attachment connected to said at least one rigid body for attaching said floor coating application device to a mechanical floor coating application device.
A floor coating application device comprising:
- a force control system including a container having a bottom surface and side walls thereby creating a volume for containing coating material, a portion of said bottom surface having a plurality of openings for dispensing coating material located in a portion of said container;
- at least two rigid bodies each having a planar bottom surface, a front radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a front side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, a back radial edge connecting said bottom surface to a back side surface extending upwardly away from said bottom surface, each of said side surfaces terminating at a top surface opposite said bottom surface, and beveled ends, said top surface of said at least two rigid bodies attached to said bottom surface of said container, each of said side surfaces of each of the at least two rigid bodies coated with polytetrafluoroethylene;
- an applicator removably connected to each of said at least two rigid bodies, a portion of said applicator covering said bottom surface of each of said at least two rigid bodies;
- and
- a handle connected to said container of said force control system.
