Abstract
The assembly includes a support means having a plurality of longitudinally extending, parallel rods or tabs shaped to removably receive a semi-cyclindrical splash shield in spaced relationship to a paint roller. A hub connects the rods or tabs and is rotatably secured to a stub-shaft which is coaxial with the roller shaft. The stub-shaft may be permanently fixed to the handle section of the roller assembly or to a spring clip or the like which is removably secured to the handle section. A screw or the like may be used to secure the hub to the stub-shaft or the roller shaft. The entire shield support means is selectively rotatable so that the shield may be disposed on either side of the paint roller.
Claims16
In combination, a paint roller having a shaft and a handle member rigidly extending radially from one end thereof;
- and a splash shield assembly comprising
- support means having a plurality of shield receiving members extending generally longitudinally of and parallel with the axis of the shaft;
- connecting means for securing said support means in fixed relationship with the shaft;
- a semi-cylindical shield member shaped and sized to extend over a substantial length and periphery of the paint roller and removably received on said shield receiving members;
- and
- said connecting means constructed and arranged for selective rotation about the shaft generally coaxially with the roller axis whereby said shield member may be positioned on either side of the roller.
A splash shield assembly for a paint roller having a shaft and a radial handle member rigidly extending generally perpendicularly to the shaft from one end thereof, comprising
- support means having a plurality of longigudinally extending generally parallel shield receiving members;
- connecting means including a hub section connected with the shield receiving members for removably securing said support means to the paint roller such that said hub section is generally coaxial with the shaft of the paint roller and the receiving members generally parallel with the shaft, said hub section constructed to be selectively rotated about the axis of of shaft of the paint roller;
- and a semi-cylindrical shield member shaped and sized to extend over a substantial length and periphery of the paint roller and removably received on said shield receiving membes.
