A liquid applicator is configured to apply liquid to a contoured surface. The liquid applicator includes a frame with a laterally extending base and a plurality of elongated fingers spaced laterally along the base. The fingers flex to follow the contoured surface when a liquid application force is applied. The liquid applicator also includes a flexible applicator pad assembly supported on multiple ones of the fingers. The applicator pad assembly is operable to carry liquid and is flexible at least generally with the fingers so as to follow the contoured surface during liquid application.

A liquid applicator includes a frame and a flexible applicator pad. The frame includes an elongated handle that presents opposite handle margins and extends in a longitudinal direction between the margins. The flexible applicator pad presents opposite applicator pad ends. The handle margins are coupled relative to the flexible applicator pad adjacent corresponding applicator pad ends. The handle presents an intermediate region that is flexible and spaced from the pad, with the liquid applicator thereby being shiftable into and out of a relaxed applicator condition.

An improved extension pole () is provided having an outer tubular pole section () and an inner pole section () telescopically and reciprocally received within the section (). The outer section () has a shock-absorbing component () mounted adjacent the base () thereof, which safely absorbs shocks incident to unrestrained fall of the inner pole section (). The pole () also includes a fixture mounting element () with an associated locking member (), the latter being threadably mounted and movable against the base of a fixture such as a light bulb changer (), in order to securely mount the fixture in place on the pole (). An improved, cam-type locking mechanism () is also provided which gives a short-throw twist operation through less than about a 45&#xb0; arc.
