Abstract
A device for holding a paint roller includes a first frame member having opposing first and second ends, a second frame member having opposing first and second ends, a handle attached to the first end of the first frame member, a mandrel mounted for rotation to the first end of the second frame member, and a joint coupling the second end of the first frame member to the second end of the second frame. The joint is adjustable between a disengaged/unlocked condition for selectively varying the angular displacement of the second frame member relative to the second frame member, and an engaged/locked condition for securing the second frame member relative to the first frame member.
Claims26
A device for holding a roller for collecting and dispersing paint, comprising:
- a first frame member having opposing first and second ends;
- a second frame member having opposing first and second ends;
- a handle attached to the first end of the first frame member;
- a mandrel mounted for rotation to the first end of the second frame member;
- and
- a joint coupling the second end of the first frame member to the second end of the second frame, wherein the joint is adjustable between a disengaged condition for selectively varying the angular displacement of the second frame member relative to the second frame member, and an engaged condition for securing the second frame member relative to the first frame member.
A device for holding a roller for collecting and dispersing paint, comprising:
- a first frame member;
- a second frame member having a mandrel rotated thereto;
- a first fixture affixed to one of the first frame member and the second frame member;
- a second fixture affixed to the other of the first frame member and the second frame member;
- means for mating the second fixture to the first fixture in a plurality of different orientations each corresponding to a different angular displacement of the second frame member relative to the first frame member.
In a device for holding a roller for collecting and dispersing paint including a frame having a first end, an opposing second end, a handle attached to the first end, and a rotating mandrel attached to the second end, improvements therein including a joint incorporated into the frame comprising:
- a first fixture attached to a first portion of the frame, the first portion of the frame having the first end of the frame;
- a second fixture attached to a second portion of the frame, the second portion of the frame having the second end of the frame;
- means for mating the second fixture to the first fixture in a plurality of different orientations each corresponding to a different angular displacement of the second portion of the frame relative to the first portion of the frame.
