Abstract:
This invention is directed to a paint shield, having a renewable protective pad of throw-away cover elements, allowing the painter to quickly renew the distal edge and working surface of his paint shield in order to prevent accumulated over-spray or brush paint from errantly being deposited or dripped onto other surfaces during operation. More specifically the device is constructed and arranged to renew the working face and distal edge of a paint shield by employing a pad of paint impervious cover elements. The protective pad is comprised of a plurality of cover elements disposed one on top of another, each cover element having readily releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive at least partially covering one face and being free of adhesive on the opposite face. The cover elements are stacked with the adhesive side of each element facing the non-adhesive side of the element below to maintain the elements in a layered protective pad. When an excessive amount of paint has accumulated on the surface of the top cover element, it can be peeled away to reveal a fresh cover element and operation continues.
