HAND-HELD PAINTING TOOL WITH PAINT RESERVOIR

摘要

A painting tool (10) for painting trimwork includes a housing (12) forming a paint reservoir (42) ; a paint applicator (16) for applying paint to a surface to be painted and a pumping mechanism (44) fluidically connected to the paint reservoir. The pumping mechanism has a first or disabled condition and a second or activated condition, wherein the pumping mechanism seals the paint in the reservoir when in the disabled condition, and wherein the pumping mechanism dispenses paint to the paint applicator when in the activated condition such that that the release of paint to the paint applicator is selectively controlled by pushing the paint applicator against the surface to be painted to shift the pumping mechanism from the disabled condition to the activated condition.
