VALVE MECHANISMS FOR PAINT OR INK BRUSH WITH INTEGRATED RESERVOIR

摘要

An improved fluid control system for a paint brush or applicator system that includes a flexible barrel-type reservoir (21) is disclosed. The disclosed valve systems may be a ball-valve type (24a), a trumpet-type (24) or a duck-bill type. The valve or control systems help the user regulate the flow of fluid from a flexible barrel reservoir (21) to a brush or applicator tip by adequately restricting flow in response to squeezing pressure applied by the user to the flexible barrel reservoir.
