Abstract:
A system for finishing surfaces with a finishing material includes a handle assembly with proximal and distal ends. A material reservoir is mounted on the handle distal and includes an inlet and an outlet. A material applicator tool is mounted on the reservoir and receives material from the reservoir outlet. A discharge mechanism includes an extendable-retractable component or linear actuator connected to the reservoir for discharging or reloading material. An alternative embodiment includes a lockable, compressible gas spring. Another alternative embodiment includes a rotating element driven by a reversible motor mounted on the handle assembly. The rotating element drives a discharge mechanism in a discharge direction of rotation, and reloads the reservoir in a reload direction of rotation. Multiple alternative embodiments of linear actuators are disclosed. An alternative embodiment includes a push-to-open valve mechanism.

Claim (Index 9):
The system according to  claim 3  wherein:\n said inner sleeve includes a passage in proximity to said inner sleeve proximal end; \n said outer sleeve closes said passage with said inner sleeve retracted in said outer sleeve in said valve assembly closed configuration; and \n said passage positioned in said material reservoir with said inner sleeve extended from said outer sleeve distal end in said valve assembly open configuration.
