DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The technical concept and features of the present invention will be described below using preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1, 2a, and 3a, a painting handle 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottom base 20, an upper base 30 removably mounted on the bottom base 20, and a bow-shaped finger rest 40 provided on the upper base 30. The painting handle 10 is used to place a model (not shown) on it when the user performs model-related tasks such as assembling or painting the model.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 2a, the bottom base 20 is self-supporting on a workbench (not shown) and includes a casing 22, an opening 24 at the free end of the casing 22, a first connecting portion 34 with a spiral structure fixed to the outside of the opening 24, and a storage space 26 within the casing 22 that is in communication with the opening 24. The upper base 30 includes a mounting base 32 and a second connecting portion 35 with a corresponding spiral structure that is located on the inside below the mounting base 32. The second connecting portion 35 can be detached and separated from the first connecting portion 34, and can be connected to the first connecting portion 34 so that the mounting base 32 abuts against the casing 22 and seals the storage space 26. The mounting base 32 includes a ring-shaped portion 321 for receiving a finger hook 40. The finger hook 40 is for a user to hook their fingers onto to facilitate model-related work. In other embodiments, the finger hook 40 may be omitted if necessary. In this embodiment, the upper base 30 can stably hold an item thereon. The storage space 26 can be filled with a liquid or solid, which changes the weight of the bottom base and allows the position of the overall center of gravity to be adjusted when an item is placed on the base.

[0010] In another embodiment shown in FIG. 2b, the bottom base 20 is self-supporting on a workbench (not shown) and includes a casing 22, an opening 24 at a free end of the casing 22, a first connecting portion 34 with a spiral structure provided inside the casing 22 adjacent to the opening 24, and a storage space 26 provided within the casing 22 and communicating with the opening 24. The upper base 30 includes a mounting base 32 and a second joining portion 35 with a corresponding spiral structure provided below the mounting base 32 so as to at least partially protrude outside the mounting base 32. The second joining portion 35 can be detached and separated from the first joining portion 34 and can be connected to the first joining portion 34 so that the mounting base 32 abuts against the casing 22 and seals the storage space 26. The mounting base 32 is provided with a ring-shaped portion 321 for receiving a finger grip 40. The finger rest 40 allows a user to place their fingers on the top of the base to facilitate model-related tasks. In other embodiments, the finger rest 40 may be omitted, if desired. In this embodiment, the upper base 30 allows an item to be stably placed thereon. The storage space 26 can be filled with a liquid or solid, which allows the weight of the bottom base to be changed and the overall center of gravity to be adjusted when an item is placed on the base.

[0011] As shown in Figures 4a and 4b, the casing 22 has three protruding blocks 221 on its inside. The three protruding blocks 221 are provided on an inner bottom surface 220, which is the bottom surface of the inside of the casing 22. Also, as shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the casing 22 has a regular polygonal outer bottom surface 225, a first lower layer portion 226 extending upward from the outer bottom surface 225, a second lower layer portion 227 extending upward from the first lower layer portion 226, and a third lower layer portion 228 extending upward from the second lower layer portion 227. The first lower layer portion 226 has a first lower contour portion 2261 in contact with the outer bottom surface 225 and a regular polygonal first upper contour portion 2262. The second lower layer portion 227 has a second lower contour portion 2271 that contacts the first upper contour portion 2262 of the first lower layer portion 226, and a regular polygonal second upper contour portion 2272. The third lower layer portion 228 has a third lower contour portion 2281 that contacts the second upper contour portion 2272 of the second lower layer portion 227.

[0012] 3a and 3b, a connecting line is formed between a corner of the first lower contour portion 2261 and at least one corner of the first upper contour portion 2262, and a connecting line is formed between a corner of the second lower contour portion 2271 and at least one corner of the second upper contour portion 2272. By forming connecting lines connecting multiple corners between the contour portions of different lower layers, the painted handle 10 has a combined structure with multiple layers and multiple flat surfaces at different angles. When a user holds the painted handle 10 in their hand, these flat surfaces and corners come into contact with many parts of the palm and fingers, resulting in a less slippery feel.

[0013] In the two embodiments described above, the outer bottom surface 225 is a regular hexagon. The first lower layer portion 226 has six first triangular faces 226a that contact the six sides of the outer bottom surface 225, respectively, and six first inverted triangular faces 226b that contact each of two adjacent first triangular faces 226a. The second lower layer portion 227 has six second triangular faces 227a that contact each of the first inverted triangular faces 226b, respectively, and six second inverted triangular faces 227b that contact each of two adjacent second triangular faces 227a. The third lower layer portion 228 has six extended faces 228a that contact each of the second inverted triangular faces 227b.

[0014] According to the above configuration, when the paint handle 10 is used for assembling or painting heavy models or models with a high center of gravity, removing the upper base 30, filling the storage space 26 with liquids such as water or solids such as sand, and then attaching the upper base 30 increases the overall weight of the paint handle 10, making it less likely for the paint handle 10 with the model placed on it to tip over on the workbench. On the other hand, for models with a lighter weight or a lower center of gravity, removing the liquid or solids from the storage space 26 to reduce the overall weight of the paint handle 10 reduces the burden on the user when holding the paint handle 10. In other words, the user can freely adjust the weight of the paint handle 10 to suit various modeling situations, significantly improving workability during modeling. Furthermore, the casing 22, with its special multi-layer structure as described above, fits comfortably in the palm of the user's hand, making it easy to grip and less slippery. Furthermore, when the storage space 26 is filled with liquid such as water, the casing 22 can also be used as a cleaning tool for painting brushes. That is, it is possible to place a painting brush in the storage space 26 and wash off the pigment with water. In addition, the painting brush can be rubbed against the protruding block 221 to wash off the pigment, which allows for efficient cleaning of the painting brush.

[0015] The structure of the painted handle 10 may be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the protruding block 221 may be provided at another location inside the casing 22, and the number of protruding blocks 221 may be increased or decreased as needed. In some cases, the protruding block 221 may be omitted. The outer bottom surface 225 of the casing 22 may have other shapes, such as a circle, an irregular shape, a polygon, or a regular polygon, and the number of lower layers of the casing 22 may vary as needed. The structure of each lower layer may have a different configuration as needed. All such easily conceivable structural modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
