Novel Paint Brush with Built In Edger

Abstract

A paint brush has a built in edger system that controls paint application and eliminates the need for masking tape designed to paint precise linear edges. The edger system is attached to the brush as a mechanical attachment. When paint is applied to a surface with the brush, it's application is limited and the paint brush produces very precise linear edges where the paint boundary on the painted surface is located.

1 ) A paint brush with an attached edging device which prevents the application of paint outside the boundaries of the edging device, resulting in precise linear boundaries of paint application. 
     
     
         2 ) The claim in  1  where the paint brush handle is modified at it's extremity to be attached to a pole for extended reach. 
     
     
         3 ) The claim in  1  where the edging device has both elastomer edge and a post-application-absorption device to ensure protection against smearing of the paint. 
     
     
         4 ) The claim in  1  where the outer edges of the edging device curve in order to redirect paint flowing outward towards the edges back towards the center of the outward face of the application end. 
     
     
         5 ) The claim in  1  where the edging device is made of cast-polymer-elastomer. 
     
     
         6 ) The claim in  1  where the edging device is made of elastomer-edged metal. 
     
     
         7 ) The claim in  1  where the edging device is made of plastic. 
     
     
         8 ) The claim in  1  where the edging device is detachable from the brush. 
     
     
         9 ) The claim in  1  where the the edging device is made from composite material. 
     
     
         10 ) The claim in  1  where the brush has fiber based paint application bristles. 
     
     
         11 ) The claim in  1  where the brush has an open cell foam-based paint applicator. 
     
     
         12 ) The claim in  1  where the base of the brush screws onto an extension pole. 
     
     
         13 ) The claim in  1  where the base clamps onto an extension pole. 
     
     
         14 ) The claim in  1  where the absorbent is wetted by a solvent reservoir for removing paint.
