Abstract
An applicator for applying a liquid coating to a suitable object includes a pad and a detachable handle. The pad includes a cushion, working means applied to the cushion lower surface, and a backing plate secured to the cushion upper surface. The plate is provided with hooks extending upwardly from its upper surface, and each hook is arranged along one of three sides of an imaginary square so as to capture an object slidably inserted into this imaginary square from the fourth side thereof. The handle has, adjacent one end, an outturned square perimetrical flange which is adapted to be inserted into engagement with the hooks at any of four angular positions. The applicator may further include an adapter arranged to be inserted into the open end of the tube-like handle, to modify the same to matingly receive the threaded end portion of an extension pole.
