Abstract
A roller cover and associated pair of cams attachable to opposite ends of the roller cover. Each of the cams has an outer diameter extending radially outwardly beyond an outer diameter of the roller cover a predetermined distance for maintaining the outer diameter of the roller cover a corresponding distance from the surface being coated during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface to act as a thickness gauge for the coating being applied to the surface.
Claims17
A roller cover and associated cams that act as a thickness gauge when the roller cover is used to apply a spreadable coating to various surfaces, the roller cover comprising a hollow core surrounded by an outer covering, and a pair of the cams attached to opposite ends of the roller cover, each of the cams having an outer diameter extending radially outwardly beyond an outer diameter of the outer covering a predetermined distance for maintaining the outer diameter of the outer covering a corresponding distance from the surface being coated during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface to act as a thickness gauge for the coating being applied to the surface.
Roller cover cams for use in maintaining an outer diameter of a roller cover a predetermined distance from a surface to which a spreadable coating is to be applied by the roller cover during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface to act as a thickness gauge for the coating being applied to the surface, each of the cams having means for attaching the cams to opposite ends of the roller cover, and each of the cams having an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the roller cover a predetermined amount to act as a thickness gauge for the coating being applied to the surface during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface.
A roller cover and associated cams that act as a thickness gauge when the roller cover is used to apply a spreadable coating to various surfaces, the roller cover comprising a hollow core surrounded by an outer covering, and a cam at each end of the roller cover, each of the cams having an outer diameter extending radially outwardly beyond an outer diameter of the outer covering a predetermined distance for maintaining the outer diameter of the outer covering a corresponding distance from the surface being coated during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface to act as a thickness gauge for the coating being applied to the surface, wherein the outer diameter of each of the cams has an outer peripheral edge containing a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches to reduce the amount of surface contact of the cams with the surface being coated during rotational movement of the roller cover over the surface.
