Abstract

A pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus for supplying paint on demand to a brush includes a paint container having a top side with a fill aperture extending through to a reservoir. A lid seals and alternatively unseals the fill aperture. A battery powered compressor is coupled to the paint container and an air line extends from a compressor tank into an intake aperture of the paint container to pressurize the reservoir. A hose extends through an outlet aperture of the paint container to deliver the paint to a distal end of the hose. A brush is coupled to the hose and has a delivery tube extending from a bottom end of a handle, through a head and into a plurality of bristles to deliver paint into the bristles. A button is coupled to the brush to prevent, or alternatively allow, the flow of paint to the bristles.

Claims (25)

1. A pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus comprising:

a paint container, the paint container having a front wall separated from a back wall, a left wall separated from a right wall, and a bottom wall separated from a top wall forming a reservoir, the top wall having a fill aperture extending through to the reservoir and configured to receive paint to fill the reservoir, the top wall having a threaded lip extending around the fill aperture;

a lid coupled to the paint container, the lid being threaded and selectively engageable with the lip to seal and alternatively unseal the fill aperture;

a compressor coupled to the paint container, the compressor having a compressor motor, a compressor tank, and a plurality of controls, the plurality of controls engaging and alternatively disengaging the compressor motor and limiting the amount of pressure created in the compressor tank;

an air line coupled to the compressor, the air line extending from the compressor tank into an intake aperture of the paint container, the air line being in fluid communication with the compressor tank and the reservoir to pressurize the reservoir;

a battery coupled to the compressor, the battery being in operational communication with the compressor motor;

a hose coupled to the paint container, the hose extending through an outlet aperture of the paint container and in fluid communication with the reservoir, the hose being configured to deliver the paint to a distal end of the hose;

a brush coupled to the hose, the brush having a handle, a head coupled to the handle, and a plurality of bristles coupled to the head, the brush having a delivery tube extending from a bottom end of the handle, through the head and into the bristles, the delivery tube being in fluid communication with the hose and configured to deliver paint into the bristles;

a button coupled to the brush, the button being coupled to the handle adjacent the head, the button being in operational communication with the delivery tube to prevent, or alternatively allow, the flow of paint to the bristles; and

wherein the compressor is rectangular prismatic and coupled to the right wall of the paint container, the compressor having a front side, a top side, and a back side coplanar with the front wall, the top wall, and the back wall of the paint container, respectively, the battery being rectangular prismatic and coupled to a bottom side of the compressor adjacent the right wall of the paint container, the battery having a front face, a bottom face, and back face coplanar with the front wall, the bottom wall, and the back wall of the paint container, respectively, the battery having a right face coplanar with a right side of the compressor.

2. The pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a harness coupled to the paint container and the compressor, the harness having a mounting platform and a pair of straps coupled to the mounting platform, the mounting platform being coupled to the back wall of the paint container and the back side of the compressor, the pair of straps being configured to be worn like a backpack.

3. The pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus of claim 2 further comprising the mounting platform extending from adjacent the left wall of the paint container to adjacent the right side of the compressor, each of the pair of straps having an adjustment mechanism.

4. The pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the intake aperture extending through the front wall proximal the top wall and the outlet aperture extending through the left wall proximal the bottom wall.

5. The pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the plurality of controls being coupled to a right side of the compressor, the compressor having an LCD screen coupled above the plurality of controls, the LCD screen being in operational communication with a CPU, the CPU being in operational communication with a pressure sensor of the compressor to display the pressure level of the compressor tank on the LCD screen.

6. The pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the battery having a pair of release levers, the pair of release levers disengaging the battery from the compressor motor to allow for charging and replacement.

7. A pneumatic paint brush feeder apparatus comprising:

a paint container, the paint container having a front wall separated from a back wall, a left wall separated from a right wall, and a bottom wall separated from a top wall forming a reservoir, the top wall having a fill aperture extending through to the reservoir and configured to receive paint to fill the reservoir, the top wall having a threaded lip extending around the fill aperture, the front wall having an intake aperture extending through to the reservoir proximal the top wall and the left wall having an outlet aperture extending through to the reservoir proximal the bottom wall;

a lid coupled to the paint container, the lid being threaded and selectively engageable with the lip to seal and alternatively unseal the fill aperture;

a compressor coupled to the paint container, the compressor having a compressor motor, a compressor tank, and a plurality of controls, the compressor being rectangular prismatic and coupled to the right wall of the paint container, the compressor having a front side, a top side, and a back side coplanar with the front wall, the top wall, and the back wall of the paint container, respectively, the plurality of controls engaging and alternatively disengaging the compressor motor and limiting the amount of pressure created in the compressor tank, the plurality of controls being coupled to a right side of the compressor, the compressor having an LCD screen coupled above the plurality of controls, the LCD screen being in operational communication with a CPU, the CPU being in operational communication with a pressure sensor of the compressor to display the pressure level of the compressor tank on the LCD screen;
