Abstract
An adhesive roller assembly is provided having a non-cylindrical roller. The non-cylindrical roller is rotatably affixed to a handle's distal end. In addition, adhesive tape is helically wrapped about the roller, and the adhesive tape includes perforations so as to facilitate the breaking of the adhesive tape into individual segments. Because the roller has a non-cylindrical circumferential surface, the adhesive tape is deformed to have a non-cylindrical exterior. The roller, and consequentially exterior of the adhesive tape, can take various forms. In preferred embodiments, the roller and tape exterior have a concave, convex, undulating, dimpled or bumpy surface. The adhesive tape is made of material providing increased elongation.
Claims17
An adhesive roller assembly comprising:
- a handle;
- a roller rotatably affixed to said handle, said roller rotating about a central axis and having a first end, a second end, and a non-cylindrical circumferential surface concentric to said axis, and wherein said roller's circumferential surface is concave concentrically about said central axis;
- and
- a plurality of adhesive sheets wrapped around said roller's circumferential surface to as to provide an annular arrangement of sheets having a non-cylindrical exterior, each of said sheets having an exterior adhesive coating.
The adhesive roller assembly comprising:
- a handle;
- a roller rotatably affixed to said handle, said roller rotating about a central axis and having a first end, a second end, and a non-cylindrical circumferential surface concentric to said axis, and wherein said roller's circumferential surface is convex concentrically about said central axis, said roller's convex circumferential surface has a radius of curvature and the distance between said roller's first end and second end defines said convex surface's width, and said circumferential surface having a ratio of width:radius of curvature between 2:1 and 1:3;
- and
- a plurality of adhesive sheets wrapped around said roller's circumferential surface to as to provide an annular arrangement of sheets having a non-cylindrical exterior, each of said sheets having an exterior adhesive coating.
An adhesive roller assembly comprising:
- a handle;
- a roller rotatably affixed to said handle, said roller rotating about a central axis and having a first end, a second end, and a non-cylindrical circumferential surface concentric to said axis, and wherein said roller's circumferential surface has a plurality of convex dimples;
- and
- a plurality of adhesive sheets wrapped around said roller's circumferential surface to as to provide an annular arrangement of sheets having a non-cylindrical exterior, each of said sheets having an exterior adhesive coating.
