| 20090148225 | Tube With Resilient Applicator For Dispensing Texture Materials - A system for applying texture material to a destination surface comprising a textured portion formed by a spray system and an untextured portion comprises a container and a sponge assembly. The container is flexible such that applying deliberate manual force to the container forces the texture material onto an applicator surface defined by the sponge assembly. The sponge member is resilient. When the container member is displaced along a dispensing axis towards and away from the destination surface with the applicator surface substantially parallel to the destination surface, at least a portion of the texture material on the applicator comes into contact with the untextured portion of the destination surface to transfer texture material from the applicator surface to the destination surface. At least a portion of an exposed portion of the particulate material stands out from and is visually perceptible on the untextured portion of the destination surface. The texture material forms a coat of new texture material that substantially matches an appearance of the textured portion of the destination surface formed by the spray system. | 06-11-2009 |

Individual particles of the texture material are supported by binder on the applicator surface such that at least a portion of the structure at least some of the individual particles supported on the applicator surface visibly extend from the destination surface. The portion of the structure of the individual particles supported by the binder that extends outwardly from the binder on the destination surface forms a visible structure on the destination surface. The visible structure substantially matches the structure of the existing sprayed on visible texture pattern. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110081488 | Tube With Resilient Applicator for Dispensing Texture Materials - A method of applying texture material to a destination surface defining a pre-textured portion formed by a spray system and an untextured portion, comprising the following steps. A flexible container, texture, material, a sponge base, a resilient sponge are provided. The resilient sponge is adhered to the sponge base to form a sponge assembly. The texture material is arranged within the container chamber, and the sponge member is fixed relative to the container. Texture material is forced out of the container member and onto an applicator surface. At least a portion of the texture material on the applicator surface is transferred to the untextured portion of the destination surface by displacing the container member along the dispensing axis towards the destination surface with the applicator surface substantially parallel to the destination surface. The container member is then displaced away from the destination surface along the dispensing axis with the applicator surface substantially parallel to the destination surface such that an exposed portion of the particulate material on the untextured portion of the destination surface stands out from the destination surface and is visually perceptible. | 04-07-2011 |
