Claims
- 1. A corner paint pad assembly consisting essentially of:
- a painting pad including a pair of interconnected wall sections disposed at a 90.degree. angle with respect to one another to present a V-shaped body having an elongated apex at the joinder of said wall sections, said sections being relatively flexible and each having an inner and an outer face and presenting upper and lower marginal edges interconnected by a side marginal edge remote from said elongated apex, said lower marginal edges lying in a first plane substantially normal to said elongated apex, said upper marginal edges lying in a second plane which is obliquely oriented relative to said first plane with said side marginal edges having a length less than the length of said elongated apex, the ends of said upper marginal edges remote from said side marginal edges intersecting to define a pointed uppermost end for said body, said outer faces of said sections being coated with a porous material to receive paint, each of said inner faces having an inwardly projecting ear presenting an inboard face and an intersecting outer face, there being an opening in each of said ears extending inwardly from each corresponding inboard face and structure defining a beveled ramp in each ear inclined from each corresponding opening outwardly to the outer face of the ear;
- an elongated handle oriented with the longitudinal axis thereof substantially within a third plane bisecting said body and passing through said elongated apex, said handle having a first end for releasable connection with said painting pad, and a second, hollow, threaded end remote from said first end for attachment of a handle extension; and
- a pair of oppositely outwardly extending axle members on said first connection end of said handle and releasably received within said ear openings for swinging movement of the handle through an arc of about 180.degree. with respect to said body, with the longitudinal axis of the handle substantially within said third plane, said swinging movement being about a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to said third plane, said axle members within said ear openings preventing swinging movement of the handle substantially outside of said third plane about axes other than said pivot axis, said axle members and ears cooperatively supporting said first connection end of said handle in spaced relationship to the inner faces of said wall sections and said apex for permitting said swinging movement of said handle through said arc in an unobstructed manner free of engagement between said first connection end and said inner faces and apex,
- said ramps, and the relative flexibility of said interconnected wall sections, facilitating insertion and removal of said axle members into and out of said ear openings whereby said handle may be readily attached and detached from said pad.
