ABSTRACT:
A head for the application of a fluid such as paint to a surface is shown in the most preferred form as a tee fitting which is pivotally mounted to a pad assembly. First and second hoses extend from nipples formed on the manifold base of the pad assembly to tee stems of a tee fitting for providing the dual functions of providing fluid communication therebetween and for placing a torsional spring action between the pad assembly and the applicator pole for placing uniform pressure on the pad to flatly contact the surface. The nipples are in fluid communication with a trough formed in the manifold base corresponding to a removed portion in the fluid impervious backing of the pad. The foam layer of the pad is free of direct fluid communication paths to the flocking such that fluid must flow into and through the foam for even distribution to the flocking in a wicking distribution by capillary action. The foam layer expands in the removed portion and includes a channel located within the removed portion and tributaries extending therefrom for quicker and easier fluid flow into the foam.
