Paintbrush rotation control system

Abstract

A system for rotating a paintbrush that connects handle ( 31 ), which may also be connected to an extension pole, to a paintbrush ( 10 ) comprises a rotary connection device ( 36 ) or silicone tube sections ( 80, 81 ) including a first member ( 56 ) having an internal cylindrical surface ( 57 ) and a second member ( 33 ) located within and substantially coaxial with the member ( 56 ) and having an external cylindrical surface. One member is attached to the handle ( 31 ), and the other to the paintbrush. If the bristles of the brush ( 10 ) are place in a painting position against a surface with the axis of the brush extending substantially perpendicular to the surface and the handle ( 31 ) is moved with a circular motion substantially coinciding with the axis of the brush, the cylindrical surfaces of the two members will interact and cause the brush to rotate about its axis.

1 . A paintbrush rotation control system including a first rotary member ( 56 ) having a concave cylindrical surface and a second rotary member ( 33 ) located within and substantially coaxial with the first rotary member ( 56 ) and having a convex cylindrical surface positioned adjacent to the concave cylindrical surface of the first rotary member ( 56 ), 
 means for attaching one of the rotary members to paintbrush control system handle ( 31 ), and means for attaching the other rotary member to the paintbrush ( 10 ), whereby if the bristles ( 25 ) of the paintbrush ( 10 ) are placed in a painting position against a surface ( 71 ) with the axis ( 37 ) of the brush extending substantially perpendicular to the surface ( 71 ) and the paintbrush control system handle ( 31 ) is moved with a circular motion about an axis ( 72 ) substantially coinciding with the axis ( 33 ) of the brush, the cylindrical surfaces of the rotary members ( 56 ,  33 ) will interact to cause the brush ( 10 ) to rotate about its axis.    
   
   
       2 . A paint brush rotation control system as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the first rotary member ( 56 ) is attached to the paintbrush ( 10 ) and the second rotary member ( 33 ) is attached to the control system handle ( 31 ), whereby the circular motion of the paintbrush control system handle ( 31 ) in a clockwise direction results in the brush ( 10 ) rotating about its axis in a clockwise direction.  
   
   
       3 . A paintbrush rotation control system substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
