A paint scraper includes a coupling member configured for attachment to one of a paint roller or extension pole, and a scraper body extending from the coupling member and having an angled forward surface terminating in a knife edge.

Provided is an application apparatus for a coatings material. The application apparatus includes a supporting element extending along a first axis and having a first end and a second end. A first arm is coupled to the first end of the supporting element, and a second arm coupled to the second end of the supporting element. A first fastener attached to, and movable with respect to, the first end of the supporting element and detachably fixed to the first arm. Further, the first arm is configured to slide along the first axis.

A paint roller storage system for storing a plurality of paint rollers includes a plurality of paint rollers. Each of the paint rollers has a handle and a roller that is rotatably coupled to the handle. The roller corresponding to each of the paint rollers comprises a plurality of wires. A storage rack is provided and the storage rack is selectively coupled to a support surface. The storage rack has a plurality of apertures. The roller corresponding to each of the paint rollers is removably inserted through an associated one of the apertures to store each of the paint rollers. The storage rack inhibits the wires corresponding to each of the paint rollers from becoming deformed during storage.

A curtain coating device includes a curtain coating member, a conveyance unit, a separation member, and a base material supporting member. The curtain coating member creates a curtain-like film of coating liquid and makes the curtain-like film flow down. The conveyance unit conveys a base material to which the curtain-like film is to be applied. The separation member includes a receiving portion inclined downward from inside to outside in a width direction of the curtain-like film, and separates an end portion of the curtain-like film having flowed down by receiving the end portion with the receiving portion above the base material. The base material supporting member is disposed inside in the width direction of the curtain-like film than the receiving portion of the separation member, and supports the base material on an upper side flat portion while the base material is being conveyed.

An apparatus for dispensing a fluid comprises a housing and a resilient liner adapted to hold the fluid disposed in the housing. A fluid transfer mechanism is in fluid communication between the liner and an applicator assembly mounted on the housing for dispensing the fluid on the skin of the user. The applicator assembly includes an actuator movable relative to the housing so as to activate the fluid transfer mechanism when the actuator is reciprocated. A fluid delivery element is held in contact against skin of a user for applying the fluid onto the skin. The fluid delivery element is supported on the actuator to be movable together with the actuator by varying contact pressure with the skin. Each movement of the actuator generates continuous negative pressure within the liner for drawing fluid through the fluid transfer mechanism and collapsing the liner.

A paint roller adapter enabling a large diameter paint roller cover to be used on a paint roller frame having a cage configured to receive smaller paint roller covers. The adapter is generally cylindrical in shape and comprises a cylindrical internal surface having a diameter sized to fit onto the cage of the roller frame and a substantially cylindrical external surface having a diameter sized to fit within the large paint roller cover. At least one gripping member projects outward, beyond the external surface of the adapter such that, in use, the gripping member(s) press against an internal surface of the large paint roller cover. The gripping members of the adapter serve to prevent the roller cover slipping about the external surface of the adapter. A pair of such adapters thereby enables a conventional paint roller frame to be used with large diameter roller covers.

A versatile extension grip that may be affixed to a handle such as the handle of a broom, mop, shovel, paint roller, fruit picker or other type of tool. The versatile extension grip provides leverage, maneuverability and efficiency in using many different types of tools and provides for the tools to be manipulated using only one hand.

A paint roller and paint roller shield assembly comprises a roller for applying paint, having a paint applying surface that terminates at a rim located at an end of the roller. A paint roller shield, connected to the end of the roller, comprises a plate with a planar surface having a substantially round and beveled peripheral edge and a curved cutout configured as a missing portion of the plate. The beveled peripheral edge is angled and sloped outwardly away from the planar surface. In a plan view of the plate, the cutout exposes a part of the rim comprising part of the paint applying surface of the roller and wherein the plate and the beveled peripheral edge covers a remaining part of the rim of the roller not exposed by the cutout.
