Locking assembly and roller assembly employing the same

A roller assembly comprising:

• a handle;
• a frame comprising a support portion;
• a roller rotatably mounted on the support portion of the frame;
• and
• a lock assembly mounted on the frame of the roller assembly spaced apart from the handle, the lock assembly comprising:
• a lock member support mounted in a fixed position on the frame of the roller assembly, wherein the lock support member comprises a first support member and a second support member, each of the first and second support members extending around at least a portion of the frame of the roller assembly when the lock assembly is attached to the roller assembly, and wherein the first support member is disposed to attach to a first portion of the frame and the second support member is disposed to attach to a second portion of the frame, the first and second portions of the frame not lying on a straight line;
• a lock member mounted on the lock member support and moveable relative to the frame and the roller between a first position and a second position, wherein with the lock member in the first position the roller is rotatable relative to the frame and with the lock member in the second position, the lock member engages with the roller to prevent rotation of the roller relative to the frame.

A kit of parts comprising one or more roller assemblies, each roller assembly comprising:

• a handle;
• a frame comprising a support portion;
• a roller rotatably mounted on the support portion of the frame;
• and
• one or more lock assemblies, each of said one or more lock assemblies releasably mountable on the frame of the roller assembly spaced apart from the handle;
• each of said one or more lock assemblies comprising:
• a lock member support for mounting in a fixed position on the frame of the roller assembly, wherein the lock support member comprises a first support member and a second support member, each of the first and second support members extending around at least a portion of the frame of the roller assembly when the lock assembly is attached to the roller assembly, and wherein the first support member is disposed to attach to a first portion of the frame and the second support member is disposed to attach to a second portion of the frame, the first and second portions of the frame not lying on a straight line;
• a lock member mounted on the lock member support and moveable relative to the lock member support between a first position and a second position;
• wherein when the lock assembly is employed with the roller assembly, with the lock member in the first position the roller is rotatable relative to the frame and with the lock member in the second position, the lock member engages with the roller to prevent rotation of the roller relative to the frame.
