Abstract
A self-loading paint applicator gun for painting comprising a hollow stock adapted to receive a paint cartridge filled with paint; a valve mechanism disposed in the stock for receiving a paint cartridge and allowing the flow of paint from the paint cartridge in an opened orientation and preventing the flow of paint in a closed orientation; a trigger linkage mechanism for placing the valve mechanism in the opened orientation or the closed orientation; a hollow butt coupled to the stock; a plunging mechanism disposed within the butt for applying a force for allowing paint to flow from a paint cartridge; a barrel having a base end coupled to the stock and a tip end extended therefrom; a transfer hose having a base end and tip end with the base end coupled to the valve mechanism; and a brush having a handle on one end coupled to the tip end of the barrel, bristles on the other end, and a hollow and perforated sash therebetween coupled to the tip end of the transfer hose; whereby when a paint cartridge is disposed in the stock and a plunging force is applied to the plunger, paint from the paint cartridge flows through the valve mechanism, transfer hose, and sash of the brush to wet the bristles of the brush for painting.
