Abstract

An articulated tool holder on an extension pole. The device uses an extension pole with a pivoting tool holder on the end of the pole. The tool holder is connected to a sliding hand grip on the extension pole, movement of which causes the tool holder to rotate so the tool can be used in different positions from the extension pole.

Claims (29)

1 . A remote acting articulating tool holder, comprising:

an extension pole with a first end and a second end, configured for attachment of a tool holder to said second end of said pole;

a slidable hand grip substantially encircling said pole and slidable on said pole, with said hand grip attached to said tool holder;

a tool holder pivotally attached to said second end of said pole, with said tool holder configured to hold a selected tool; and

a connection between said hand grip and said tool holder which is a direct connection, so that when said hand grip is moved along said pole, said tool holder pivots on said second end of said pole in a plane running through the longitudinal axis of the extension pole, with said tool usable in any position from the extension pole.

2 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 1 , in which said tool holder is configured to hold a paint brush.

3 . A remote acting articulating tool holder, comprising:

an extension pole with a first end and a second end, configured for attachment of a paint brush to said second end of said pole;

a slidable hand grip substantially encircling said pole and slidable on said pole, with said hand grip attached to said tool holder;

a paint brush pivotally attached to said second end of said pole; and

a connection between said hand grip and said paint brush which is a direct connection, so that when said hand grip is moved along said pole, said brush pivots on said second end of said pole in a plane running through the longitudinal axis of the extension pole, with said brush usable in any position from the extension pole.

4 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 1 , which further comprises a paint activation trigger adjacent to the first end of said pole, a paint transport line that extends from a paint storage vessel to said trigger, and to a paint spray nozzle on the second end of said pole.

5 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 3 , in which said tool holder is configured to hold a paint brush, and said spray nozzle is attached to said tool holder.

6 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 1 in which said connection between said hand grip and said tool holder is a rigid linkage.

7 . A remote acting articulating tool holder, comprising:

an extension pole with a first end and a second end, configured for attachment of a tool holder to said second end of said pole;

a slidable hand grip substantially encircling said pole and slidable on said pole, with said hand grip attached to said tool holder;

a tool holder pivotally attached to said second end of said extension pole, with said tool holder configured to hold a selected paint brush and a spray nozzle;

a paint transport line from a paint storage vessel to said trigger, and to said spray nozzle;

a connection between said hand grip and said tool holder which is a direct connection, so that when said hand grip is moved along said pole, said tool holder pivots on said second end of said pole.

8 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 7 in which said connection between said hand grip and said tool holder is a rigid linkage.

9 . A remote acting articulating tool holder, comprising:

an extension pole with a first end and a second end, configured for attachment of a tool holder to said second end of said pole;

a slidable hand grip substantially encircling said pole and slidable on said pole, with said hand grip attached to said tool holder;

a tool holder pivotally attached to said second end of said pole, with said tool holder configured to hold a paint spray nozzle;

a paint activation trigger adjacent to the first and of said pole, a paint transport line that extends from a paint source to said trigger, and to said paint spray nozzle on the second end of said pole; and

a connection between said hand grip and said tool holder, so that when said hand grip is moved along said pole, said tool holder pivots on said second end of said pole.

10 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 8 in which said connection between said hand grip and said tool holder is a rigid linkage.

11 . The remote acting articulating tool holder of claim 1 in which said tool is a camera.
