Decorating roller for producing contrast effects such as those produced with pads

Abstract

The paint or decorating roller, which is intended to produce contrast effects with substantially unevenly-distributed impressions, such as those produced with pads, without showing an undesirable tendency to slip, is constituted by an array of flexible tuft-like decorating elements (2, 9, 19) which are fixed permanently or removably to the outer surface of the roller body (1, 15, 2 1) which is coupled for rotation on the straight front portion of a respective support arm (4, 17, 25), each tuft being formed by the pleating along at least two intersecting lines of an inner, central region of a flat piece of fabric, hide or other material having a regular or preferably even an indented outline; the roller is for use in the painting and decorating field in general.
