PAINT APPLICATOR FOR USE WITH A GRIP

摘要

A paint applier (1) is composed of a well-known roller holder (3) of a paint roller and a paint application element (5) according to the invention connected to it. The paint application element (5) has a flexible carrier (13) on which a smoothing device (15) is present. The smoothing device is built up of a smoothing layer (15) and a liquid absorbing layer (17), which is present between the smoothing layer and the carrier. More paint can be taken up by the liquid absorbing layer (17) when it is dipped in paint, so that a larger surface can be coated with paint with one dip. The carrier (13) is formed by a pliable strip and is provided with a free end (13b) that presses the smoothing device against the surface to be painted during painting. The smoothing device (15) is stretched over the free end (13b) of the carrier. The liquid absorbing layer (17) is thus pressed together by the free end (13b), so that the smoothing layer (15) by the free end (13b) is present at a shorter distance from the carrier (13) than by adjacent parts of the smoothing device.
