- the working tip includes at least one longitudinal slit defined in the distal working edge.
- the working tip includes an indicia of color conveying visual information concerning a hardness of a material comprising the working tip.
- a device for application and manipulation of paint on a substrate comprising: a handle having a distal end, a proximal end with a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, the distal end including structure defining a cavity therein; and a working tip inserted into the cavity and attached to the distal end of the handle, the working tip being a flexible, non-porous material which varies in durometer from a proximal end of the working tip to a distal end of the working tip.
- the working tip is a material selected from the set consisting of: silicone rubber, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, PTFE, polyurethane, vinyl, soft plastics, impermeable, non-porous flexible rubber-like materials, or any combinations thereof.

- the working tip includes a distal edge at the distal end of the working tip which is oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and includes at least a first and a second peripheral edge curve formed thereon wherein the first curve is a peripheral cutting edge having a radius between 0.005 inches and 0.0175 inches and the second curve is a peripheral smoothing edge having a radius greater than 0.0175 inches.
- the working tip is generally rectangular in shape and has a longitudinal length, and a width and a thickness, and wherein the length is between 0.5 to 4.0 inches, the width is between 0.25 and 4.0 inches and the thickness is between 0.1 and 1.0 inches.
Abstract
A device (20) for application and manipulation of paint on a substrate includes a handle (22) having a distal end (24) and a proximal end (26), and a working tip (42) attached to the distal end (24) of the handle (22). The working tip (42) is a flexible, non-porous extruded material having a distal working edge (48) which is formed by an extrusion process, with the working edge (48) being parallel to a longitudinal orientation of the extrusion process. In one embodiment, one of the working tip (42) and the handle (22) includes a rib (60) along an end which interfaces the other and the other of the working tip (42) and the handle (22) includes a corresponding slot (62) in an end which interfaces the one for mating with the rib (60). Preferably, the working tip (42) is made of silicone.
