The invention is a tip guard with a removably attachable scraper and/or mil gauge.

A multi-function painting accessory includes a coupling member configured to be received on an end of an extension pole or paint roller, a scraper blade extending from the coupling member, the scraper blade having a distal edge for removing debris from a surface, and an opener device extending from the coupling member, the opener device being configured for use in removing a paint can lid or bottle top.

A Popcorn Ceiling Texture Removal Debris Collector is a handheld container used to eliminate the mess during a popcorn ceiling texture removal by catching and containing the falling popcorn ceiling texture debris when scraped from the ceiling. The container can be easily emptied/dumped into a plastic trash bag or trash receptacle when full before returning back into use. The container is a rectangular enclosure with four rounded corners and a threaded base that connects to a threaded tip handle by way of screwing the threaded tip of the handle into the threaded base of the container.

The container can be easily emptied/dumped into a plastic trash bag or trash receptacle when full before returning back into use.

Disclosed herein is a battery operated vacuum scratch device that is small, powerful, handheld and cylindrical shaped primarily for use when scratching off and cleaning up the scrapings left behind from a scratch-off lottery cards. Activated by a power switch and battery, the vacuum scratch device comprises of a blade for scratching, along with a holding arrangement for holding a coin providing an alternate option for scratching, a catch-mouth suction of the debris, a light source, a grip on its body, battery compartment, a motor, a fan, an external vented port, a removable scratch card debris catch tray. The device becomes a scraping device through use of the scraper blade or coin mechanism which is affixed to one end of the unit near the vacuum accessory piece.

In a method is provided for removing a material from a substrate, a plasma is generated at atmospheric pressure. The plasma includes an energetic species reactive with one or more components of the material. The plasma is flowed from an outlet as a plasma plume that includes periodic regions of high plasma density and low plasma density. The material is exposed to the plasma plume. At least one component of the material reacts with the energetic species, and at least one other component of the material is physically impacted and moved by one or more of the regions of high plasma density.

The invention of the present subject matter relates to a silicone scraper accessory which is detachably secured to the tip end of a paint brush handle. The silicone scraper accessory is formed as a one-piece molded silicone element having a narrow opening which is designed to be pushed onto and tightly engage the tip end of a paint brush. The silicone scraper accessory is ideal for removing painting imperfections from wet-painted surfaces, for removing wet paint from surfaces, and for use with other wet applications and delicate surfaces.

The present invention is a paint tool with a replaceable blade, comprising: a main body, a blade, and two side covers. The main body comprises a support surface, a blade retaining flange, and two engagement recesses, with an insertion slot formed between the support surface and the blade retaining flange. The blade is detachably assembled with the insertion slot, and at least one side cover comprises a first cover body and a second cover body. The second cover body is detachably disposed on one side of the first cover body and corresponds to the insertion slot. When the second cover body is detached, the blade can be disengaged from the insertion slot along a first direction. Thus, the present invention provides the advantages of simple disassembly and easy blade replacement.
