Embodiment Construction

[0024]The Paint Torpedo is a small, lightweight mini football shaped device through which a paint brush is inserted. Grasping the device instead of the brush handle for painting results in a relaxed hold thus reducing stress on hand muscles. A better grasp results in a more professional paint job, cleaner lines and less tension on wrist, arm and hand muscles.

[0025]The Paint Torpedo can be used by anyone who is able to paint with and hold a paint brush. No special training or skills are necessary. Made of soft urethane and football shaped to accommodate large or smaller hands the Paint Torpedo can be used easily by men or women.

Abstract

The Paint Torpedo is a small foam mini football shaped device, made of closed cell urethane, with an opening through the center, top to bottom, in which the handle of a paintbrush is inserted. The Paint Torpedo rests on the base or neck of the brush. To paint, one grasps the Paint Torpedo instead of the handle of the brush. With the football shape of the Paint Torpedo one is able to enjoy a firmer grip of the brush by a relaxed grasp on the flexible Paint Torpedo. The brush is held at a more natural angle and by grasping the soft device instead of the hard handle of the brush there is less stress, tension and strain on hand and wrist muscles. The results include cutting much straighter lines and a professional looking job, even by a novice.
