Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing paint roller pole devices often lack sufficient lighting, leading to uneven painting and the need for a second individual to provide illumination, especially when painting high areas like walls and ceilings.
Innovation Solution
A repositionable LED light component attached to a paint roller pole via straps and an omni-directional mount, allowing swiveling and secure attachment, available in a kit with a charger for easy use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a second individual is employed to shine a secondary light upon the painting area, then adequate illumination is achieved, but the complexity and cost of the painting operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the lighting function with the paint roller pole by attaching a light source to the pole structure. This merging of functions eliminates the need for a separate light source and second individual, as the light is integrated into the painting device itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The paint roller pole device provides its own lighting function through the attached light source, making it self-sufficient. The device serves both the purpose of applying paint and providing illumination, eliminating the need for external assistance.
2Device complexity
If existing paint roller is used without additional lighting, then the device simplicity is maintained, but the painting quality becomes uneven requiring reworking
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting function is merged with the paint roller pole structure, providing illumination without adding significant complexity. The light source is attached to the pole and positioned to illuminate the painting area directly, enabling better visibility and more uniform painting results.
3Illumination intensity
If a fixed light source is attached to the paint roller pole, then adequate illumination is provided, but the adaptability to different painting positions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The light source is designed with movable or adjustable components that allow it to be repositioned along the paint roller pole. This dynamic configuration enables the light to adapt to different painting positions and angles, maintaining both illumination effectiveness and versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting system is segmented into separate, movable components that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the light source to be adjusted to different locations on the pole, providing adaptability to various painting scenarios while maintaining adequate illumination.

AI summary
A paint roller pole light device is disclosed that comprises a repositionable light component that is removably attached via straps to a paint roller pole. Specifically, the repositionable light component is attached to a repositionable arm via an omni-directional mount. In this manner, the device illuminates the area directly in front of the paint roller during use. Further, the device is available in a kit comprising two repositionable lights, one for use and one to be charged, with straps to hold the light, and a charger.
