Paint Applicator

Abstract

A paint applicator includes a hollow handle defining a paint-entry passage, and a housing connected to the handle and having a first wall, and a second wall cooperating with the first wall to define a paint chamber that communicates fluidly with the paint-entry passage. The second wall has a plurality of first paint exit holes communicating fluidly with the paint chamber. A non-permeable resilient body covers the second wall, and includes a plurality of second paint exit holes aligned respectively with the first paint exit holes. A permeable foamed body covers the non-permeable resilient body. A brush layer is attached to the permeable foamed body, and is composed of a plurality of bristles.

1 . A paint applicator comprising:
 a hollow handle defining a paint-entry passage;   a housing connected to said handle and having a first wall, and a second wall cooperating with said first wall to define a paint chamber that communicates fluidly with said paint-entry passage, said second wall having a plurality of first paint exit holes communicating fluidly with said paint chamber;   a non-permeable resilient body covering said second wall and including a plurality of second paint exit holes aligned respectively with said first paint exit holes;   a permeable foamed body covering said non-permeable resilient body; and   a brush layer attached to said permeable foamed body and composed of a plurality of bristles.   
   
   
       2 . The paint applicator of  claim 1 , wherein said housing is connected to said handle, and has at least one through hole formed in said first wall and communicating fluidly with said paint-entry passage and said paint chamber. 
   
   
       3 . The paint applicator of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second walls are tubular, said second wall extending around said first wall, said first wall having a plurality of through holes communicating fluidly with said paint-entry passage and said paint chamber, said non-permeable resilient body surrounding said second wall, said permeable foamed body surrounding said non-permeable resilient body, said brush layer extending around said permeable foamed body.
