A refillable skin lotion dispenser includes a refillable lotion housing having an openable collar located at or adjacent a first end thereof. The collar includes a dispensing valve configured to dispense lotion therethrough under gravity; and an annular sponge permanently secured to the collar and configured to surround the dispensing valve so as to be operative to spread dispensed lotion over an area of skin.

The present invention relates to a paint roller frame for application of a fluid, such as a paint or stain, on any surface. The paint roller includes a head section that can accommodate roller covers or paint rollers of various sizes by adjusting a length of a top edge that adjusts the distance between connectors configured for holding the roller cover. The frame includes an adjustable swivel that enables a pivotal movement of a pole section relative to the head section. The pole section can be secured to the swivel which enables users to rotate the attached roller cover in a range of motion generally 90-degrees on either side of the perpendicular direction to the head section. The pole section can be telescoping and enables users to paint elevated areas, thereby obviating a ladder or stepstool.

The Phillips Smart Edge is a paint application tool with guide means, made of synthetic material And is used for painting in any standard rooms corner in edgeing and trimming. The cornered walls intersecting surface characterized in that the guide means in the form of a roller project outward and parallel (FIG. 2) Metal Bars as they lead downward. Preferably the application surface is triangular as standard walls with the roller overhanging edges which converge toward each other. The paint applied to surface rapidly and efficiently in use for the Phillips Smart Edge

Embodiments of the invention include apparatus and methods for coating drug coated medical devices. In an embodiment, the invention includes a coating apparatus including a coating application unit. The coating application unit can include a fluid applicator having a lengthwise axis and a width. The fluid applicator can include a tip comprising a first face across the width of the fluid applicator. The first face of the fluid applicator can be oriented at an angle of from about 15 to about 75 degrees with respect to the lengthwise axis of the fluid applicator. The fluid applicator can define a second face intersecting the first face. The coating apparatus can further include a rotation mechanism and an axial motion mechanism. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A retention assembly for a hollow tubular decorating roller comprising a fixed mount member that is securable in use to a roller frame. The fixed mount member includes a first primary support formation and a first retention formation that extends radially beyond the first primary support formation. The retention assembly also includes a separable mount member that is selectively couplable with the fixed mount member. The separable mount member includes a second primary support formation and a second retention formation that extends radially beyond the second primary support formation. The first and second primary support formations are received, in use, by a respective end of a hollow tubular decorating roller. The first and second retention formations cooperate with one another while the separable mount member is coupled with the fixed mount member to in use retain a hollow tubular decorating roller therebetween.

A paint roller assembly for allowing a sufficient amount of pressure to be applied for distributing paint evenly is disclosed. The paint roller assembly includes a pair of frame members. One frame member includes a handle. A cylindrical-shaped core is attached to another end of each of the frame members. In one aspect, the pair of frame members are coupled to each other at a first end by a variety of different coupling mechanisms. When assembled, a central, longitudinal axis of the handle is substantially parallel to a central, longitudinal axis of the cylindrical-shaped core, thereby allowing the user to apply sufficient pressure to more evenly distribute paint during use.

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 cylindrical conical cleaning tool that includes: an opening; a top edge with a first diameter; and a bottom edge with a second diameter, wherein the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter and said second diameter adapted to fit along an outer surface of a paint roller. The cylindrical conical cleaning tool further includes an inner surface, where the inner surface is adapted to channel moisture away from the paint roller. In another embodiment, the cylindrical conical cleaning tool includes a lip at the top edge, wherein the lip is adapted for gripping purposes.

The invention includes an adapter for attachment to a paint applicator including a substantially cylindrical body having a fluid channel extending through the cylindrical body; a male thread formed on an outer surface of the cylindrical body and configured for removable attachment to the paint applicator; a first female thread extending into the fluid channel from a first end of the cylindrical body; a second female thread extending into the fluid channel from a second end of the cylindrical body; and a transfer channel extending between the first female thread and the second female thread so as to form the fluid channel.
