Paint touch up kit

Abstract

The kit includes: a bottle having an aperture and a thread; a cap having a thread for engaging the bottle thread; an elongate structure having an end adapted for receiving and delivering paint, the structure, when in use and when the cap thread is engaged to the bottle thread, being fixedly secured to the cap interiorly of the bottle and extending from the cap to the applicator end; and a mixing element. When the cap thread is engaged to the bottle thread and the structure is fixedly secured to the cap and disposed interiorly of the bottle, the aperture is sealed by one or more of the structure and the cap. The mixing element is sized for disposition in the bottle and has a density such that, when the aperture is sealed and the bottle contains paint, a shaking motion applied to the bottle results in mixture of the paint.

1 . A kit comprising:
 a plastic bottle having an aperture and a portion having a thread;   a plastic cap having a thread shaped and dimensioned to engage the thread of the bottle;   an elongate structure having an applicator end which is adapted for receiving and delivering paint in the manner of a brush, the structure, when in use and when the thread of the cap is operatively engaged to the thread of the bottle, being fixedly secured to the cap interiorly of the bottle and extending from the cap to the applicator end; and   a mixing element,   wherein,   at least when the thread of the cap is operatively engaged to the thread of the bottle and the structure is fixedly secured to the cap and disposed interiorly of the bottle, the aperture is sealed by one or more of the structure and the cap; and   the mixing element is sized for disposition in the bottle and has a density such that, when the aperture is sealed and the bottle contains paint, a shaking motion applied to the bottle results in mixture of the paint.   
     
     
         2 . A kit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plastic funnel. 
     
     
         3 . A kit according to  claim 2 , wherein the funnel is shaped and dimensioned for the delivery of paint into the bottle through the aperture. 
     
     
         4 . A kit according to  claim 3 , wherein the terminus of the funnel is shaped and dimensioned for disposition in the aperture and in plug-fit relation by the threaded portion of the bottle. 
     
     
         5 . A kit according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plastic ladle. 
     
     
         6 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the threaded portion of the bottle is an exteriorly-threaded neck; and   the cap is threaded interiorly.
