Lint remover

In a lint remover assembly provided with a handle member having a lint remover roller assembly in association therewith which is adapted to supportably receive a core-mounted pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll thereon having selectively removable layers of adhesive tape with the adhesive surface facing outwardly so that the adhesive tape roll can be selectively rolled over a surface to lift lint and/or other foreign particles therefrom, the combination comprising:

• a core;
• a pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll having an outwardly facing adhesive surface provided on said core, said pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll having a narrow non-adhesive side edge portion longitudinally along each side edge thereof, said pressure sensitive adhesive tape roll having at least one slit substantially therethrough, said slit extending from the inside edge of one of said non-adhesive side edge portions partially across the width of said adhesive tape roll to the inside edge of the opposite non-adhesive side edge portion so as to define a pair of spaced apart narrow unslit non-adhesive side edge portions which cooperate to maintain the retentive longitudinal continuous integrity of said adhesive tape roll on said core, said narrow non-adhesive side edge portions cooperating to facilitate selective detachable removal of the saturated top layer of said tape roll by lifting it away along said slit and tearing it away through said narrow unslit non-adhesive portions to expose the next lowermost unused adhesive tape layer.
