Abstract

Abstract An adjustable protection shield for preventing a non-designated area of a building's surface from being accidentally covered with a coating material is disclosed whereby a protection blade is secured in an adjustable blade holder. The adjustable blade holder has a first hinge component having a blade anchoring member for accepting the protection blade and a first hinge mate member projecting from the blade anchoring member. A second hinge component of the blade holder, comprising a handle/extension handle attachment member and a second hinge mate member, is adjustably connected to the first hinge component by contacting a mating surface on each of the hinge mate members and securing at a desired angular position with a hinge fastening means.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 210 words
An adjustable blade holder for use with a protection shield device employed for preventing a coating material from being applied to a non-designated surface area of a structure, comprising: (a) a first hinge component having a blade anchoring member for reversibly securing a protection blade and a first hinge mate member projecting from said blade anchoring member and (b) a second hinge component comprising a handle/extension handle attachment member, for holding by a user and reversibly attaching an extension handle, that extends into a second hinge mate member, wherein said first hinge component and said second hinge component are adjustably connected by contacting a mating surface on each of said first and said second hinge mate members and securing at a desired angular position with a hinge fastening means, wherein said hinge fastening means is a hinge fastener bolt running from said first hinge mate member and through said second hinge mate member and secured by a hinge fastener nut and each of said mating surfaces of said first and said second hinge mate members is a non-slip surface which resists a change in said secured angular position, wherein said non-slip surface comprises a set of teeth with each crest and trough directed radially outward from said hinge fastener bolt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 210 words
An adjustable blade holder for use with a protection shield device employed for preventing a coating material from being applied to a non-designated surface area of a structure, comprising: (a) a first hinge component having a blade anchoring member for reversibly securing a protection blade and a first hinge mate member projecting from said blade anchoring member and (b) a second hinge component comprising a handle/extension handle attachment member, for holding by a user and reversibly attaching an extension handle, that extends into a second hinge mate member, wherein said first hinge component and said second hinge component are adjustably connected by contacting a mating surface on each of said first and said second hinge mate members and securing at a desired angular position with a hinge fastening means, wherein said hinge fastening means is a hinge fastener bolt running from said first hinge mate member and through said second hinge mate member and secured by a hinge fastener nut and each of said mating surfaces of said first and said second hinge mate members is a non-slip surface which resists a change in said secured angular position, wherein said non-slip surface comprises a set of teeth with each crest and trough directed radially outward from said hinge fastener bolt.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 221 words
An adjustable protection shield device for preventing a coating material from being applied to a non-designated surface area of a structure, comprising: (a) a protection blade; (b) a first hinge component comprising a generally flattened blade anchoring member, with upper and lower surfaces and perimeter edges, for reversibly securing said protection blade and a first hinge mate member projecting from one said edge of said blade anchoring member; and (c) a second hinge component comprising a handle/extension handle attachment member, for holding by a user and reversibly attaching an extension handle, that extends into a second hinge mate member, wherein said first hinge component and said second hinge component are adjustably connected by contacting a mating surface on each of said first and said second hinge mate members and securing at a desired angular position with a hinge fastening means, wherein said hinge fastening means is a hinge fastener bolt running from said first hinge mate member and through said second hinge mate member and secured by a hinge fastener nut and each of said mating surfaces of said first and said second hinge mate members is a non-slip surface which resists a change in said secured angular position, wherein said non-slip surface comprises a set of teeth with each crest and trough directed radially outward from said hinge fastener bolt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 221 words
An adjustable protection shield device for preventing a coating material from being applied to a non-designated surface area of a structure, comprising: (a) a protection blade; (b) a first hinge component comprising a generally flattened blade anchoring member, with upper and lower surfaces and perimeter edges, for reversibly securing said protection blade and a first hinge mate member projecting from one said edge of said blade anchoring member; and (c) a second hinge component comprising a handle/extension handle attachment member, for holding by a user and reversibly attaching an extension handle, that extends into a second hinge mate member, wherein said first hinge component and said second hinge component are adjustably connected by contacting a mating surface on each of said first and said second hinge mate members and securing at a desired angular position with a hinge fastening means, wherein said hinge fastening means is a hinge fastener bolt running from said first hinge mate member and through said second hinge mate member and secured by a hinge fastener nut and each of said mating surfaces of said first and said second hinge mate members is a non-slip surface which resists a change in said secured angular position, wherein said non-slip surface comprises a set of teeth with each crest and trough directed radially outward from said hinge fastener bolt.
