IMPROVED BRUSH WITH REMOVABLE PIGS AND ACCESSORIES

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the technical field of construction, more specifically in the area of the finishes thereof, since it provides an improved brush with removable bristles and accessories, integrated within it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For many centuries and until today, painting with a brush, whether made of plush, pig hair, horse etc., continues to be done in the most traditional way anywhere in the world: there are currently many ways to paint with brushes, there are also traditional brushes that are made of a wooden handle and at one of its ends it has a metal band in which the bristles of some animal or synthetic hair are inserted, which are glued with some glue, and thus form a simple brush, in addition to the more complex ones, and with removable bristles but none that have integrated accessories for the cleaning and painting process, so that traditional brushes bring consequently the loss of time in obtaining accessories, and they can only be used one to two times in each graffiti that is made and when the bristles harden or detach from the handle of the brush this should Throw in the trash for not having more use.

Therefore, to counteract the aforementioned problems, several brushes have been developed that feed paint to a brush or roller, there are other brushes with detachable bristles with independent accessories to support the brush but none that has the same handle with different mechanisms added in it to give better support to the user and he does not have to buy them separately.

In order to eliminate all these mentioned inconveniences, He developed a new improved paint brush, which has integrated accessories in the handle and has a removable base with bristles or other accessories. This invention allows the painter to change accessories in the same handle, and be reused as many times as the user wants without having to change brush to paint or to clean the place to paint, with the following features and advantages:

This enhanced brush with removable bristles and accessories, consists of: a removable base 1, the body of the brush 2, which in turn is composed of two pieces that can be made of any material, an upper part 3 and a lower one 4; where the lower part 4 forms the handle and has an ergonomic shape 5, and has small rough projections 6, when the user takes the lower part 4 does not slip at the time of painting, it also has an internal duct 7, which starts from the threaded hole 8 that is in the upper part 9 of the lower part 4 said conduit 7 runs through the entire internal part and runs into a metal part 10, this piece is inserted in the internal part of the lower zone 11 and has a small duct 12 in hexagonal shape, but said duct can take any other form, which serves to be fitted with a metal screwdriver tip 13 of any type such as star, plane etc., and thus conform with the ergonomic handle a screwdriver when the user so desires, the metal screwdriver tips 13 will be stored in the duct 7, see figure 3; by threading the lower part 4 with the upper part 3 by means of the threaded hole 8 with the threaded boss 14 firmly engaging, and forming the body of a brush 2. On its rear face 36 of the upper part 3 there is a small semi-curved channel 27 in an ergonomic way where the user when grabbing the brush by the handle will put the index finger on said channel 27, which will serve as a support to reinforce the strength of the hand when painting.

On the front face 15 of the upper part 3 it has a circular cavity 16, and on its outer part it has at least a small hole 37, said cavity 16 will have a step or circular channel 35 that serves as a stop and runs along the entire entrance through the internal part of said cavity 16, a cover or threadedly coupled to the step or circular channel 35 flexible plastic membrane 24 so that the paint does not enter; and it has at least one flange 38, which will be housed in the hole 37, for when it is desired to remove the lid 24 this flange 38 serves as a support for pulling the lid 24.

In the cavity 16 in its central part it has a thin circular projection 17, in the form of a tube that does not leave the cavity 16, it also has a rectangular duct 18 that passes internally through the upper part 3, preferably on one side, having a exit 19 through one of the sides of the upper part 3; the conduit 18 in the part of the outlet 19 will have another small rectangular cavity 20, where a metal piece in the form of a saw 21 is coupled, which is also retractable. This outlet 19 will be covered by a plastic membrane or lid 22 that will be attached to the body of the upper part 3, which will prevent paint from entering the conduit 18.

In the cavity 16, a reel with adhesive tape 23 will be introduced into the circular projection 17, the tape will pass and travel through the entire conduit 18 and will exit through the exit 19 bumping the metal part 21, which at the time of placing the tape on the surface or wall to be protected from the paint, cut the tape when the user wishes, and cover with the membrane or lid 22.

In the left side 39 of the upper part 3, it has a channel 40 preferably located in the most centered part of the left side 39 and in the upper part 41 where the channel 40 begins has a past hole 42, in said hole and channel It will connect a metal piece in the form of a bottle opener 43 with its wide flat tip 45 which will be joined by a bolt 46 under pressure but in turn will have movement and will slide into the channel 40 being almost completely inside since the design of the Metal piece 43 will allow it to be easily removed with the fingers or fingernail of the user's hand, this piece 43 will support the user to uncover bottles or cans of paint.

In the upper part of the piece 3 it is formed by a slight extension 47 that has a rectangular channel 25 preferably not passed, where said channel in the internal walls of each side, will travel at least one circular projection 26 or any other form, which will serve as a means of attachment when attaching the removable base 1, where said base on its two faces, front 28 and rear 29 will have at least one channel 30 that has a figure that can be perfectly coupled to the projections 26 This channel 30 will be arranged to cover the entire body of the removable base 1 on its two faces 28 and 29, in addition it will have a secure apprehension type female 48 and male 49 that can be metallic or of the same material, this insurance will work at the time of sliding the removable base 1 will slide and engage by means of the projections 26 and the channel 30 being inserted together, without leaving spaces, movement or play, so that this union serves as a support and when reaching the end of the stop of the channel 25 the female lock 48 and male 49 will be joined between the removable base 1 and the body of the brush 2 by the rectangular channel 25.

The removable base 1 in its upper part 31 will have a cavity or channel 32 in which the bristles 33 are coupled, which will be of any thickness, size or artificial or animal material.

Another modality of the removable base 1, is that it will not have the cavity or channel 32, but that it will be of a single rigid piece that at the time of manufacture a thin metal piece 34 will be inserted and that can vary its measurements as height, width and in the form of a palette, spatula, trowel, saw, which will serve as a support accessory before painting, since this removable base 1 in the form of a spatula or palette 34 will help us in scraping the walls to remove the paint or also for the correction of imperfections of the wall.

Another embodiment of the brush 2 is that the upper part 3 in its lower part 50 is extended forming part of the ergonomic handle in one piece and having a threaded section 51 at the end and around this threaded section will have at least one holes 52 where the screwdriver tips 13 will be housed and the lower part 4 is shorter and in its upper part it will have a circular channel 53 that will allow it to form the brush 2, the metal tips 13 at the time of coupling the piece 3 and 4. They fit perfectly inside the circular channel 53, and at the end of the piece 4 a metal piece 10 will be found, this piece is inserted in the inner part of the lower zone 11 and has a small duct 12 in hexagonal shape, but it can take any other form said duct, which serves to be attach a metal screwdriver tip 13 of any star type, flat etc., and thus form a screwdriver with the ergonomic handle.

It is noticeable that the present application also comprises a "kit", which is constituted of at least: a brush without bristles; a detachable bristle base; a removable base with spatula; a set of screwdriver tips of different types: plane, star etc .; a spool of adhesive tape and a pair of plastic caps. In this way, the improved brush acquires other advantages, for example, when the bristles wear out, it is enough to replace them with a new base with bristles, so there is no need to change the whole brush body; In addition, the washing of the bristles is facilitated, because they can be washed separately, thus eliminating the risk, due to the friction that is made to the bristles against a solid base to squeeze or eliminate the surplus of liquids, it serves as a screwdriver when it is necessary to remove panels, switch covers, etc., so when it is going to be painted and it is desired to put adhesive tape in some area so that paint is not splashed, this multifunctional brush and practice helps in different painting actions so It is novel and unique.
