Appl. No.:

13/011654

Inventors:

John G. SWISHER - Mahwah NJ, US
Janna MAKAEVA - Mahwah NJ, US

Assignee:

INNOVATIVE ART CONCEPTS, LLC - Dayton NJ

International Classification:

B05C 17/06
B41M 1/12

US Classification:

101127, 101129

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a self-aligning stencil device for producing a multi-color composite image on a target surface. The self-aligning stencil device includes a central panel and a plurality of stencil panels foldably connected to the central panel. The central panel includes a solid region and a cut-out region. The solid region of the central panel includes a front surface and a back surface, and is defined by an outer border of the central panel and an inner border of the central panel. The cut-out region is vacant space that is defined by the inner border of the central panel. Each stencil panel has its own distinct stencil pattern and is foldably connected to a different corresponding portion of the outer border of the central panel, thereby forming a connection fold between each stencil panel and its corresponding portion of the outer border of the central panel. The plurality of stencil panels, when folded at their connection folds upon the central panel, self-align to collectively form a composite image, so that painting each distinct stencil pattern with a different color is effective to yield a multi-color composite image on a region of the surface imposed behind the cut-out region of the central panel. Also disclosed are kits and methods for producing multi-color composite images using the device of the present invention.

Assignee:

INNOVATIVE ART CONCEPTS, LLC - Ramsey NJ

International Classification:

G01C 9/02

US Classification:

33301, 33347

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a leveling apparatus, methods of using the leveling apparatus, and kits that include the leveling apparatus. The leveling apparatus is useful in various applications, including, without limitation, those applications that involve positioning a planar object (e.g., a wall stencil) against a substantially vertical surface (e.g., a wall) at a desired angle relative to horizontal (e.g., relative to the floor or ceiling).
