Abstract:
1. An adjustable paint guard for filling an opening of a window or door frame so that paint is applied to only one side of the frame and prevented from reaching an opposite side of the frame, comprising: a multi-panel nested arrangement wherein the panels are selectively and independently slidable and movable with respect to each other; the panels further characterized by a base panel that is stationarily disposed within the frame; the base panel including a main panel cavity and a front side and a rear side; a handle mounted to the front side for positioning the base panel within the frame and for removal of the base panel therefrom; track means mounted to the rear side and vertically extending thereon; a first slidable panel mounted to the base panel for slidable adjustable movement thereon; the first slidable panel having a first panel cavity and a pair of receiving slots for interconnection to the track means of the base panel; a first auxiliary panel disposed within the main panel cavity of the base panel for slidable adjustable movement therefrom; a second auxiliary panel disposed within the first panel cavity of the first slidable panel for adjustable slidable movement therefrom; and whereupon the base panel is positioned within the frame so that the first slidable panel can be slidably moved in a vertical direction and the first auxiliary panel and the second auxiliary panel can be slidably moved in a horizontal direction so that the base panel, the first slidable panel, the first auxiliary panel and the second auxiliary panel abut the frame and thereby completely fill the opening of the frame so that pain cannot reach the opposite side of the frame.
