Paint masking for corners
View Patent ↗A paint mask particularly adapted for masking corner areas of a demarcation zone to facilitate painting of an area of a workpiece disposed on the other side of the demarcation zone is formed of a thin, flexible sheet having opposite faces. The paint mask includes a first leg and a second leg that are generally rectangular in shape, and the legs intersect to form a right angle adapted for masking a corner and adjacent area. The bottom side of the paint mask which contacts the surface to be masked includes an adhesive for adhering the mask to the workpiece. The top side has release means for releasing stacked paint masks from each other.
1. A paint mask package for masking a corner area adjacent workpieces to be painted, comprising:
a sheet having opposite bottom and top faces and at least a first and a second outer edge, said at least first and second outer edges intersecting at an angle of 90°;
said sheet being L-shaped and having first and second legs that are generally rectangular in shape and at right angles to one another;
said sheet includes at least a first inner edge;
said sheet includes an adhesive on said bottom face; and,
a plurality of said sheets being oriented relative to each other and nestled together to provide a package in the form of a roll.
2. A paint mask package for masking a corner area adjacent work pieces to be painted, comprising:
a sheet having opposite bottom and top faces and a first and a second outer edge, said first and second outer edges intersecting at an angle of 90°;
said sheet includes at least a first inner edge;
said sheet includes an adhesive on said bottom face in a band along a majority of said first and second outer edges;
said sheet includes a non-adhesive area on said bottom face;
a plurality of said sheets being oriented relative to each other and nestled together to form a paint mask package of said sheets;
said adhesive extends from said first and second outer edges toward said at least first inner edge; and,
said sheet being L-shaped and having first and second legs that are generally rectangular in shape and at right angles to one another.
