Abstract
The present invention relates to a paint roller frame for application of a fluid, such as a paint or stain, on any surface. The paint roller includes a head section that can accommodate roller covers or paint rollers of various sizes by adjusting a length of a top edge that adjusts the distance between connectors configured for holding the roller cover. The frame includes an adjustable swivel that enables a pivotal movement of a pole section relative to the head section. The pole section can be secured to the swivel which enables users to rotate the attached roller cover in a range of motion generally 90-degrees on either side of the perpendicular direction to the head section. The pole section can be telescoping and enables users to paint elevated areas, thereby obviating a ladder or stepstool.
Claims12
An adjustable paint roller frame device comprising:
- a paint roller frame comprised of a telescoping head section and a telescoping pole section;
- wherein said telescoping head section is for securing a paint roller;
- wherein said telescoping pole section comprises a handle comprising an ergonomic grip at one end and a receiving opening comprising a pair of locking projections at an opposing end;
- wherein said telescoping head section comprises a swivel comprising a socket, a ball positioned and rotatable within the socket, and a pole receiving opening comprising a pair of locking slots configured to mate with the pair of locking projections of the telescoping pole section;
- wherein said swivel rotates said telescoping head section in a range of motion generally from about 90-degrees left to about 90-degrees right relative to said telescoping pole section;
- and
- said rotation of said telescoping head section enables a user to rotate said telescoping head section relative to said telescoping pole section to obtain a desired degree of paint angle.
An adjustable paint roller frame device comprising:
- a paint roller frame comprising a telescoping head section and a telescoping pole section;
- wherein said telescoping head section is for securing a paint roller;
- wherein said telescoping pole section comprises a handle comprising a receiving opening comprising a pair of locking projections at one opposing end;
- wherein said telescoping head section comprises a swivel comprising a socket, a ball positioned and rotatable within the socket, and a pole receiving opening comprising a pair of locking slots configured to mate with the pair of locking projections of the telescoping pole section;
- wherein said ball joint rotates said telescoping head section in a range of motion generally from about 90-degrees left to about 90-degrees right relative to said telescoping pole section;
- wherein said ball pivots said telescoping head section at a midpoint relative to said telescoping pole section;
- and
- said rotation and said pivoting of said telescoping head section enables a user to rotate said telescoping head section relative to said telescoping pole section to obtain a desired degree of paint angle;
- and
- wherein said pair of locking slots and said pair of locking projections include a twist-lock;
- and
- wherein said telescoping head section and said telescoping pole section are each further comprised of a polymer material.
An adjustable paint roller frame device comprising:
- a paint roller frame comprises a telescoping head section and a telescoping pole section;
- wherein said telescoping head section is selectively adjustable in length for receiving a variety of paint roller lengths therein;
- wherein said telescoping pole section comprises a handle comprising an ergonomic grip at one end and a receiving opening comprising a pair of locking projections at an opposing end;
- wherein said telescoping head section comprises a swivel comprising a socket, a ball positioned and rotatable within the socket, and a pole receiving opening comprising a pair of locking slots configured to mate with the pair of locking projections of the telescoping pole section;
- wherein said ball rotates said telescoping head section in a range of motion generally from about 90-degrees left to about 90-degrees right relative to said telescoping pole section;
- wherein said ball pivots said telescoping head section at a midpoint relative to said telescoping pole section;
- and
- said rotation and said pivoting of said telescoping head section enables a user to rotate said telescoping head section relative to said telescoping pole section to obtain a desired degree of paint angle;
- and
- wherein said ball is configured to expand and retract to enable movement of the ball within the socket.
