Embodiment Construction

[0032]Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements in the various views, there is illustrated therein a new and improved modular ergonomic paintbrush system with an adjustable head, generally denominated 10 herein.

[0033]The modular ergonomic brush and handle system of the present invention uses a large set of different brush heads 20 and different handles 30. Any one of the many brush heads 20 can be attached to any of the many handles 30 to form a workable paintbrush. Thus, the inventive system enables use of a preferred higher quality handle that can be made of expensive wood, light weight metal, carbon fiber compound, or other materials. Since the handles are not disposed as the brush heads wear out, the handles can last indefinitely. Using the present invention, professional painters will therefore be able to use handles and brush heads tailored to their individual preferences with respect to handle size, shape, finger contours and surfa...

Abstract

A modular paintbrush head and handle system using a plurality of lightweight ergonomic handles adjustably and detachably connected to a plurality of paintbrush heads. A complete array of brush sizes and types have standard connections that cooperate with connections on an array of handles. The connections create a pivot point such that the brush head may be pivoted about at least one axis for adjustment, and then fixedly held at the desired angle. One or more adapters can be disposed between the handle and brush head to increase the number of axes of rotation of the head in relation to the handle and thereby allowing for compound angles of the brush head relative to the handle.
