BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to paint brushes. This invention is a replacement of the current paint brush or paint rollers. The instant invention fixes many issues with paint brushes and paint rollers. The instant invention cures painter's cramp from holding a brush painting for too long and allows the painters hands to be rested while painting. It also reduces shipping costs and waste of our natural resources as the current format paintbrush is wasting wood as a disposable product. The instant invention can also stop painters from getting paint on their hands by covering them with a glove. It can allow a painter to work faster by eliminating having to hold a brush. It can allow a painter to cover more area per stroke with a wider brush in a fan style format. The basic concept of the invention is simple attaching bristles directly to a glove or attaching a brush to the hand.
2. Description of Related Art
Paint Brushes are very well known and come in many formats and are sold all over the world. Current Paint brushes bristles are made of both synthetic fibers called chip brushes and natural hair brushes, both materials have benefits and preferred uses. Synthetic Paint Brushes are used for mechanical applications like spreading grease on a hot machine using a synthetic brush as well as the standard use to paint something. The two main existing formats are a standard paint brush for painting walls and a roller apparatus that utilizes a tray. The invention is a completely different form of a paint brush that replaces the current paint brush or roller options by attaching a paint brush directly to the hand, glove, or wrist. There are no known brush devices like this worn on gloves or wrists such as the instant invention that allows the hand to relax and not grip a brush, cover more area faster as an extension of the hand.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A brush or bristles that are worn on or attached to the hand arm or wrist via a glove, or strap, or straps to avoid the painters hand getting cramped from gripping a brush for a long period of time. This invention will be useful for painting paint on walls, but can be used as an artist painting a painting, or even a makeup artist applying makeup. The paintbrush can be a glove format to allow the painter to extend his or her fingers straight out to paint with nothing to grip, the glove has an added benefit to covers the painters hand or hands to avoid getting paint on them. This invention is a replacement to the existing paint brush formats currently available. The simplest form of the instant invention is comprised of a glove and brush bristles built into or attached to the glove. A webbed version glove holding more bristles is designed to widen or add to the area that is being painted allowing for fewer strokes to cover a broader area. A glove with a paper fan type structure attached to the back of the hand to hold even more bristles is a cure for making a wider brush to cover more area. A single brush per finger on a glove or attachment or artist's version of small paint brushes could be used for an artist painting a painting, this would allow the artist to have different colors on each finger and different style brushes.
