Abstract
A pad-type painting applicator of the type having a handle and a replaceable applicating pad includes a simplified design for use in either of two paint applying modes and an improved mechanism for removably mounting applicating pads. A relatively short handle gripping portion is secured to an enlarged base, which mounts the replaceable applicating pad, for use when painting areas close within reach of the painter and where the painter can easily move the tool in strokes generally parallel to the surface on which the paint is being applied. A threaded aperture or short cylindrical portion is provided in the base at an angle with respect to the handle gripping portion for use in conjunction with an elongated extension pole that may be secured to the tool to enable normally inaccessible areas or surfaces to be reached. A flexible tab on the base secures a slideably mounted applicating pad generally in the center thereof.
