ABSTRACT:
A paint guide includes a frame having a shield which terminates in a straight paint sealing edge that is spaced a predetermined distance from a window frame to provide a strip of weatherproofing paint on the window glass adjacent the frame when painting the frame. The shield is movably mounted by a pair of L-shaped brackets on a pair of supporting arms by cams. The cams are slidably mounted within slots formed in the arms to control the movement of the sealing edge. A compression coil spring extends between each of the brackets and associated arm and biases the bracket and shield upwardly from the window glass to move the sealing edge out of engagement with the glass. When downward pressure is applied to the frame, the paint sealing edge is moved vertically into engagement with the glass at a predetermined spaced distance outwardly from the window frame due to the sliding action of the cams within the arm slots. Continued pressure on the shield seals the paint edge tightly against the glass. After completion of the paint application along the straight edge between the supporting arms, the pressure on the frame is released, whereupon the springs raise the paint sealing edge vertically from the glass to prevent smearing of the fresh paint, after which the paint guide can be slid on the glass to an adjacent unpainted area.
