Evy'buddies joking about the smell. When I saw and clicked the pic my reaction was similar, thinking "good thing THAT didn't get recorded!"

And what ever reason, I forget to investigate patents. I'm vaguely familiar with striping tools. Compared with 'artistic' stripers with fine brushes, mechanical stripers are miniature paint rollers. Ideal for a long parallel line. Wheels can be interchanged for width and combinations of width.
But either way, it's all in the little finger!
