Abstract
A texturing roller for applying drywall mud or plaster to a flat surface such as a wall or ceiling in a texturing pattern, which roller includes a roller cylinder fitted with random holes and multiple leather discs crowded onto the roller cylinder by rivets which extend through the discs and the holes and are expanded in place by a riveting tool. The roller cylinder is designed to mount on a conventional roller frame and handle normally fitted with a disposable paint cylinder used for painting flat or textured surfaces.
Claims20
In a texturing roller of the type having a conventional paint roller frame characterized by a frame handle, an offset roller mount extending from the handle and a cylinder stay rotatably mounted on the roller mount, the improvement comprising a roller cylinder having an outside surface and an inside surface defining a cylinder bore for mounting on the cylinder stay;
- a plurality of openings provided in a selected pattern in said roller cylinder;
- a plurality of flexible disks positioned over said openings on said outside surface of said roller cylinder;
- and rivets extending through said flexible disks and said openings for securing said flexible disks to said outside surface of said roller cylinder in said selected pattern.
In a texturing roller of the type having a conventional paint roller frame characterized by a frame handle, an offset roller mount extending from the handle and a cylinder stay rotatably mounted on the roller mount, the improvement comprising a roller cylinder having an outside cylindrical surface and a longitudinal cylinder bore defining a cylinder wall, for mounting on the cylinder stay;
- a plurality of openings provided in said cylinder wall in a selected pattern and spacing;
- a plurality of flexible disks arranged over said openings on said cylinder wall in overlapping, convoluted relationship with respect to each other;
- and rivets extending through said flexible disks and said openings for securing said flexible disks to said cylinder wall of said roller cylinder in said selected pattern and spacing.
In a texturing roller of the type having a conventional paint roller frame characterized by a frame handle, an offset roller mount extending from the handle and a cylinder stay rotatably mounted on the roller mount, the improvement comprising a roller cylinder having an outside cylindrical surface and a longitudinal surface bore for receiving the conventional paint roller frame;
- a plurality of openings provided in said cylinder wall in a selected pattern and spacing;
- a plurality of flexible leather disks arranged over said openings on said cylinder wall in overlapping, convoluted relationship with respect to each other;
- and "pop" rivets extending through substantially the center of said flexible disks and said openings for expansion in said openings and securing said flexible disks to said outside cylindrical surface of said cylinder wall of said roller cylinder in said selected pattern.
