Description

Farbroller Paint roller
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Farbroller nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a paint roller according to the preamble of claim 1.
Stand der Technik:State of the art:
Herkömmliche Farbroller bestehen aus einem zylinderförmigen Walzenkörper, im folgenden auch als Walze oder Farbrolle bezeichnet, mit einem inneren zylinderförmigen Rohrkörper, der zur Aufnahme eines Walzenbezugs aus Plüsch, Fell oder Schaumstoff oder ähnlichem dient. Im Inneren des Rohrkörpers ist im allgemeinen eine geschlitzte sich radial aufweitende Klemmhülse vorgesehen. In einer Ausführungsform wird die Klemmhülse gegen axiales Verschieben auf einer Seite im Rohrkörper durch einen entsprechenden Vorsprung gesichert. Auf der anderen Seite in Richtung Rohrkörperöffnung wird ein Abschlußstück eingerastet, um das Herausfallen der Hülse zu verhindern. In manchen Fällen ist auch das Abschlußstück, wie die Klemmhülse, drehbar gelagert und beide Einzelteile dienen zur Aufnahme und Lagerung eines in den Walzenkörper einzuschiebenden Tragbügels. Dabei hat die Klemmhülse die Aufgabe, den Walzenkörper auf dem Tragbügel axial zu fixieren. Der Tragbügel setzt sich in der Regel aus einem gebogenen Metalldraht und einem Handgriff aus Kunststoff an dessen unteren Ende zusammen. Eine derartige Konstruktionsweise ist allerdings mit Nachteilen behaftet. Einerseits sind für den Farbroller, der nach Gebrauch häufig weggeworfen wird, mehrere Einzelteile notwendig, die nicht nur die Herstellung verteuern, sondern auch aus Umweltschutzgesichtspunkten nicht wünschenswert sind. Insbesondere der Aufbau des Tragbügels als Kombination aus Metall und aufgespritztem Kunststoff ist nur mit viel Aufwand in einer Rohstoffrückgewinnung verwertbar.Conventional paint rollers consist of a cylindrical roller body, hereinafter also referred to as a roller or paint roller, with an inner cylindrical tube body which serves to receive a roller cover made of plush, fur or foam or the like. A slotted, radially widening clamping sleeve is generally provided in the interior of the tubular body. In one embodiment, the clamping sleeve is secured against axial displacement on one side in the tubular body by a corresponding projection. On the other side in the direction of the tube body opening, an end piece is snapped in to prevent the sleeve from falling out. In some cases, the end piece, such as the clamping sleeve, is rotatably mounted and both individual parts serve to receive and mount a support bracket to be inserted into the roller body. The clamping sleeve has the task of axially fixing the roller body on the support bracket. The bracket is usually composed of a bent metal wire and a plastic handle at the lower end. However, such a construction method has disadvantages. On the one hand, the paint roller, which is often thrown away after use, requires several individual parts, which not only increase the cost of production, but are also undesirable from an environmental point of view. In particular, the structure of the support bracket as a combination of metal and sprayed-on plastic can only be used with great effort in a raw material recovery.
Aus diesem Grund wurde in der Vergangenheit versucht, den Tragbügel einstückig aus Kunststoff herzustellen.For this reason, attempts have been made in the past to manufacture the support bracket in one piece from plastic.
Bei einigen Ausfuhrungsformen mußte allerdings festgestellt werden, daß für den praktischen Anwendungsfall keine ausreichende Stabilität des Tragbügels vorhanden ist.In some embodiments, however, it had to be found that the carrying bracket is not sufficiently stable for practical use.
Bei anderen Ausführungsformen wird zwar eine ausreichende Stabilität durch den Einsatz von faserverstärkten Kunststoffen erreicht, dies macht die Herstellung jedoch zugleich auch teuer. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit den Tragbügel einfach größer zu dimensionieren, was allerdings zu einem erhöhten Materialverbrauch führt und daher aus Kostengründen ebenso nicht empfehlenswert ist.In other embodiments, sufficient stability is achieved through the use of fiber-reinforced plastics, but this also makes production expensive. In addition, there is the possibility of simply dimensioning the support bracket larger, which, however, leads to increased material consumption and is therefore also not recommended for cost reasons.
Aufgabe und Vorteile der Erfindung:Object and advantages of the invention:
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Farbroller mit einem einstückigen Tragbügel aus Kunststoff bereitzustellen, der unter geringem Materialeinsatz und bei geringen Herstellungskosten eine zu einem herkömmlichen Tragbügel aus beispielsweise Metalldraht vergleichbare Steifigkeit aufweist. Weiterhin soll eine einfache und wirksame und zugleich universelle Befestigungsmöglichkeit zwischen dem Tragbügel und dem Walzenkörper gewährleistet sein. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention has for its object to provide a paint roller with a one-piece plastic bracket, which has a stiffness comparable to a conventional bracket made of metal wire, for example, using little material and at low manufacturing costs. Furthermore, a simple and effective and at the same time universal fastening possibility between the support bracket and the roller body is to be ensured. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung angegeben.Advantageous and expedient developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung geht davon aus, daß der Farbroller aus einem mit einem Handgriff versehenen einstückigen Tragbügel aus Kunststoff und einer am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels drehbar anbringbaren Farbrolle besteht. Der Kerngedanke liegt nun darin, daß der Tragbügel über seine Länge wenigstens teilweise querverlaufende Versteifungselemente umfaßt, die durch eine Längsverstrebung versteifend untereinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise wird ähnlich wie bei der Verrippung eines Flugzeugtragflügels aus Spanten und Holmen bei einem geringen Gewicht eine ausgezeichnete Steifigkeit erzielt. Es ist somit nicht notwendig, einen Kunststoff einzusetzen, der beispielsweise faserverstärkt ist, was zu reduzierten Herstellungskosten führt. Darüber hinaus trägt der Umstand, daß vergleichsweise weniger Material für die Herstellung notwendig ist, zu einer weiteren Verminderung der Kosten bei. Das geringe Gewicht der Konstruktion des Tragbügels hat für einen Anwender den Vorteil, weniger schnell bei der Durchführung von langwierigen Arbeiten zu ermüden.The invention is based on the fact that the paint roller consists of a one-piece plastic support bracket provided with a handle and a paint roller which can be rotatably attached to the front end of the support bracket. The main idea now lies in the fact that the support bracket comprises at least partially transverse stiffening elements over its length, which are connected to one another in a stiffening manner by means of a longitudinal strut. In this way, an excellent stiffness is achieved with a low weight, similar to the ribbing of an aircraft wing made of frames and spars. It is therefore not necessary to use a plastic that is, for example, fiber-reinforced, which leads to reduced manufacturing costs. In addition, the fact that comparatively less material is required for production contributes to a further reduction in costs. The light weight of the construction of the support bracket has the advantage for a user of being less tired when carrying out lengthy work.
Um die Versteifung besonders effizient zu gestalten, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, die Längsverstrebung durch Wandungsabschnitte zu realisieren. Dabei ist es besonders bevorzugt, die Wandungsabschnitte als offenes Hohlprofil und insbesondere als Halbschale auszubilden. Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Versteifungselemente im Fall eines Hohlprofils auf dessen Innenseite angebracht.In order to make the stiffening particularly efficient, it is also proposed to implement the longitudinal bracing by means of wall sections. It is particularly preferred to design the wall sections as an open hollow profile and in particular as a half-shell. In the case of a hollow profile, the stiffening elements are expediently attached to the inside thereof.
Zur Erzielung eines angenehmen und ergonomischen Handgriffs wird im weiteren vorgeschlagen, die querverlaufenden Versteifungselemente wenigstens im Bereich des Handgriffs an der offenen Seite des Hohlprofils überstehen zu lassen. Damit wird die Raumform des Handgriffs einerseits durch die Außenkontur des Hohlprofils und andererseits durch die Form der Versteifungsrippen definiert. Dabei ist es günstig, daß die Versteifungselemente einen Abstand von 2 bis 6 mm aufweisen, um beim Anwender Druckstellen in dessen Hand zu vermeiden.In order to achieve a comfortable and ergonomic handle, the transverse ones are proposed below To allow stiffening elements to protrude at least in the area of the handle on the open side of the hollow profile. The spatial shape of the handle is thus defined on the one hand by the outer contour of the hollow profile and on the other hand by the shape of the stiffening ribs. It is advantageous that the stiffening elements have a distance of 2 to 6 mm in order to avoid pressure points in the user's hand.
Zur Optimierung des Materialeinsatzes bei der Herstellung wird außerdem vorgeschlagen, daß die Abstände der außerhalb des Handgriffs angeordneten Versteifungselement größer sind als die der im Bereich des Handgriffs angebrachten Versteifungselemente.To optimize the use of materials in production, it is also proposed that the spacing of the stiffening element arranged outside the handle be greater than that of the stiffening elements attached in the region of the handle.
Aus den gleichen Gründen wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, die Breite und/oder den Querschnitt des Hohlprofils vom Handgriff bis zum vorderen Ende des Tragbügels hin kontinuierlich oder wenigstens abschnittsweise abnehmen zu lassen.For the same reasons, it is further proposed that the width and / or the cross section of the hollow profile be reduced continuously or at least in sections from the handle to the front end of the support bracket.
Um eine weitere Verbesserung der Griffqualität des Handgriffs zu erreichen, wird überdies vorgeschlagen, wenigstens in einem Teilbereich des Handgriffs auf der Außenseite des Hohlprofils eine gerippte Greiffläche vorzusehen.In order to achieve a further improvement in the grip quality of the handle, it is also proposed to provide a ribbed gripping surface at least in a partial area of the handle on the outside of the hollow profile.
Zur Erzielung einer hohen Steifigkeit und zur Einsparung von HerStellungsmaterial wird darüberhinaus vorgeschlagen, den vorderen Teil des Tragbügels vor dem Aufnahmebereich der Farbrolle als U-förmiges Profil auszuführen. Dieser Bereich ist vorzugsweise zur Erhöhung der Stabilität ebenfalls verrippt.In order to achieve high rigidity and to save manufacturing material, it is also proposed to design the front part of the support bracket in front of the receiving area of the paint roller as a U-shaped profile. This area is preferably also ribbed to increase stability.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird außerdem der vordere Bereich des Tragbügel unmittelbar als Walzenlager für einen Walzenkörper, der hier auch als Farbrolle oder Walze bezeichnet wird, ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise wird die Zahl der Einzelteile, aus der sich normalerweise ein Farbroller zusammengesetzt wird, reduziert. Beispielsweise kann die im Stand der Technik beschriebene Klemmhülse und das Abschlußstück für die Fixierung der Klemmhülse zur Realisierung des Walzenlagers bei der vorliegenden Erfindung vorzugsweise einstückig am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels angeformt werden. Der Tragbügel kann demzufolge in seinem endseitigen Bereich derart ausgebildet sein, daß er in einer auf der Innenseite des Rohrkörpers vorgesehenen Nut oder dergleichen derart einrastet, daß sich der Rohrkörper auf dem Tragbügel selbst dreht. Um eine einfache Konstruktion zu erhalten, wird vorgeschlagen, die Farbrolle auf dem Walzenlager am vorderen Ende des Tragbügels einrastbar auszuführen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Walzenlager einen Einraststeg für das Eingreifen in eine umlaufende Nut im Rohrkörper der Farbrolle aufweist. Die Dimensionen von Einraststeg und Nut sind dabei vorzugsweise so festzulegen, daß die Farbrolle um ihre Längsachse drehbar ist. Eine gegenseitige Vertauschung von Einraststeg und Nut an den jeweiligen Teilen ist ggf. vorteilhaft.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the front area of the support bracket is also formed directly as a roller bearing for a roller body, which is also referred to here as a paint roller or roller. In this way the Reduced the number of individual parts that normally make up a paint roller. For example, the clamping sleeve described in the prior art and the end piece for fixing the clamping sleeve for realizing the roller bearing in the present invention can preferably be integrally formed on the front end of the mounting bracket. The supporting bracket can therefore be designed in its end region such that it engages in a groove or the like provided on the inside of the tubular body such that the tubular body rotates on the supporting bracket itself. In order to obtain a simple construction, it is proposed that the paint roller be designed to snap onto the roller bearing at the front end of the support bracket. It is advantageous if the roller bearing has a latching web for engaging in a circumferential groove in the tubular body of the paint roller. The dimensions of the latching web and groove are preferably to be set so that the paint roller is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. A mutual exchange of the snap-in web and the groove on the respective parts may be advantageous.
Für eine besonders günstige Lagerung der Farbrolle wird desweiteren vorgeschlagen, den Einraststeg im Bereich der Mitte des Walzenlagers anzuordnen.For a particularly favorable storage of the ink roller, it is also proposed to arrange the latching web in the area of the center of the roller bearing.
Um ein stabiles Rollen der Farbrolle auf dem Walzenlager zu gewährleisten, kann wenigstens ein zusätzlicher Lagersteg vorgesehen werden, auf dem der Rohrkörper der Farbrolle gleiten kann und gegen Verkippen abgestützt wird.In order to ensure stable rolling of the paint roller on the roller bearing, at least one additional bearing web can be provided on which the tubular body of the paint roller can slide and is supported against tilting.
Schließlich ist es vorteilhaft, wenn am Walzenlager ein Begrenzungssteg für das tragbügelseitige Ende der drehbar montierten Farbrolle vorgesehen ist. Der Begrenzungssteg verhindert, daß Farbe in den Rohrkörper der Rolle eindringen kann. Weiterhin wird hierdurch der Montageweg definiert, d. h. die Einschublänge kann hierdurch vorgegeben werden. In Sonderfällen kann es weiterhin vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Verbindung zwischen Walzenlager und Rohrkörper über eine separate Klemmhülse oder Haftmuffe erfolgt, die in ihrer Innenrohrflache die entsprechenden Einrastmittel aufweist. Hierdurch kann ein einfacher zylindrischer Rohrkörper in jeweils passender Länge verwendet werden, in den die Klemmhülse durch einfachen Preßsitz eingebracht wird.Finally, it is advantageous if a limiting web is provided on the roller bearing for the end of the rotatably mounted paint roller on the support bracket side. The limiting web prevents paint from penetrating into the tube body of the roller. This also defines the installation path, ie the insertion length can be specified. In special cases it can also be advantageous if the connection between the roller bearing and the tubular body is made via a separate clamping sleeve or adhesive sleeve, which has the corresponding latching means in its inner tube surface. As a result, a simple cylindrical tube body can be used in the appropriate length, into which the clamping sleeve is inserted by a simple press fit.

Die Versteifungselemente 6 sind in einem vergleichsweise engen Abstand a von vorzugsweise 3 mm angeordnet (siehe hierzu insbesondere Fig. 4g) . Die Versteifungselemente 6 stehen auf der offenen Seite des Hohlprofils 5 über dieses über, so daß auf der einen Seite durch das Hohlprofil 5 und auf der anderen Seite durch die Außenkanten der Versteifungselemente die Raumform des Handgriffs 2 definiert wird (Fig. 2). Wie insbesondere in Fig. 1 deutlich wird, ist die Außenseite des Hohlprofils im Bereich der Greiffläche 7 des Handgriffs 2 zur Verbesserung der Greifqualität gerippt. Auch im Bereich des Verbindungsteils 3 sind zur Versteifung querverlaufende Rippen bzw. Versteifungselemente 7 im Hohlprofil 5 vorhanden. Der Abstand der Versteifungselemente ist allerdings deutlich größer als im Bereich des Handgriffs 2. Außerdem stehen die Versteifungselemente nicht über die offene Seite des Hohlprofils über. Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Stabilität sind die letzte Querrippe des Handgriffs 2 und alle weiteren darauffolgenden Querrippen 8 des Verbindungsteils 3 durch einen im mittleren Bereich des Hohlprofils verlaufenden Längssteg 9 verbunden (siehe hierzu insbesondere die Schnittbilder 4c und 4d) .A first exemplary embodiment of a support bracket according to the invention for a paint roller is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the associated cross sections in FIGS. 4a to g. The cross sections in Figures 4a to g are shown on a scale of 2: 1. The bracket 1 is made in one piece from plastic. It comprises at its lower end a handle 2 and at its upper end an approximately perpendicular to the handle roller bearing 4. In between is a curved connecting part 3. The connecting part 3 and the handle 2 are essentially by a hollow profile 5 open on one side (see the Cut profiles in FIGS. 4a to b) are formed. In the area of the handle 2, the hollow profile 5 is stiffened by transverse ribs 6. Ribs or stiffening elements along the section line EE or FF (see FIG. 3) are shown as examples in FIGS. 4e and 4f. The stiffening elements 6 are arranged at a comparatively narrow distance a of preferably 3 mm (see in particular FIG. 4g). The stiffening elements 6 are on the open side of the hollow profile 5 over this, so that on one side by the hollow profile 5 and on the other side by the outer edges of the stiffening elements, the spatial shape of the handle 2 is defined (Fig. 2). As is particularly clear in FIG. 1, the outside of the hollow profile is ribbed in the region of the gripping surface 7 of the handle 2 in order to improve the gripping quality. Also in the area of the connecting part 3, transverse ribs or stiffening elements 7 are provided in the hollow profile 5 for stiffening. The distance between the stiffening elements is, however, significantly larger than in the area of the handle 2. In addition, the stiffening elements do not protrude beyond the open side of the hollow profile. To further improve the stability, the last transverse rib of the handle 2 and all further subsequent transverse ribs 8 of the connecting part 3 are connected by a longitudinal web 9 running in the central region of the hollow profile (see in particular the sectional diagrams 4c and 4d).
Die Versteifung durch den Längssteg 9 und die Versteifungselemente 8 erfolgt allerdings nicht über den kompletten Bereich des Verbindungsteils 3, sondern lediglich vom Handgriff über eine erste Biegung bis in den Bereich der darauffolgenden nächsten Biegung. Von hier aus läuft das sich bis dahin im Querschnitt verjüngende Hohlprofil 5 mit insbesondere unveränderter Breite bzw. Querschnitt bis zum Walzenlager 4 in Form eines U-Profils ohne zusätzliche Versteifungselemente (vergleiche hierzu die Querschnitte in Fig. 4a bzw. 4b) bis zum Walzenlager 4 weiter. Wahlweise kann auch dieser Bereich mit zusätzlichen Versteifungselementen versehen sein.The stiffening by the longitudinal web 9 and the stiffening elements 8 does not, however, take place over the entire area of the connecting part 3, but only from the handle via a first bend to the area of the next bend that follows. From here, the hollow profile 5, which has tapered in cross-section up to that point, runs with an unchanged width or cross-section up to the roller bearing 4 in the form of a U-profile without additional stiffening elements (compare the cross-sections in FIGS. 4a and 4b) to the roller bearing 4 further. Optionally, this area can also be provided with additional stiffening elements.
Das Walzenlager 4 am Ende des Verbindungsteils 3 dient zur direkten Aufnahme und drehbaren Lagerung eines zylindrischen Walzenkörpers mit entsprechendem Walzenbezug.The roller bearing 4 at the end of the connecting part 3 is used for the direct accommodation and rotatable mounting of a cylindrical roller body with a corresponding roller cover.
In den Figuren 5 und 6 sind derartige Walzen ohne Plüsch¬ oder Schaumstoff-Bezug, also lediglich durch ihre Rohrkörper 10, 11, auf welche der Walzenbezug anzubringen ist, dargestellt. Die Rohrkörper 10, 11 werden einfach auf das Walzenlager 4 aufgesteckt und eingerastet. Dabei rutscht ein am Walzenlager 4 umlaufender Einraststeg 12 entlang eines Konus 13 auf der Innenseite der Rohrkörper 10, 11 in eine ebenfalls auf der Innenseite der Rohrkörper 10, 11 umlaufende Nut 14. Die Abmessungen des Einraststeges 12 und der Nut 14 sind so bestimmt, daß der Einraststeg zwar in der Nut einrastet, aber dennoch in Richtung des Nutverlaufs eine Drehung des Rohrkörpers und damit der Walze ermöglicht wird.FIGS. 5 and 6 show such rolls without plush or foam cover, that is to say only by their tubular bodies 10, 11, to which the roll cover is to be attached. The tubular bodies 10, 11 are simply plugged onto the roller bearing 4 and locked in place. Here, a circumferential locking web 12 on the roller bearing 4 slides along a cone 13 on the inside of the tubular body 10, 11 into a also on the inside of the tubular body 10, 11 circumferential groove 14. The dimensions of the latching web 12 and the groove 14 are determined so that the latching web engages in the groove, but nevertheless enables a rotation of the tubular body and thus the roller in the direction of the groove becomes.
Der Einraststeg 12 ist ungefähr mittig auf dem Walzenlager 4 positioniert. Im Abstand dazu sind jeweils links und rechts weitere Stege 15, 16 an ausgesparten Verbindungselementen 17, 18 bzw. Verbindungszylindern angeordnet. Die Aussparungen 22 dienen zur Materialeinsparung. Die Stege 15, 16 bilden ein Lager für den Rohrkörper 10 oder 11, auf welchen er bei einer Drehbewegung gleitet und sich gegenüber Verkippungskräften abstützt. Dies ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn der Rohrkörper wie im Fall des in Fig. 6 dargestellten, über das Walzenlager 4 im aufgesteckten Zustand weit übersteht.The latching web 12 is positioned approximately centrally on the roller bearing 4. At a distance from each other further webs 15, 16 are arranged on recessed connecting elements 17, 18 or connecting cylinders. The cutouts 22 serve to save material. The webs 15, 16 form a bearing for the tubular body 10 or 11, on which it slides during a rotational movement and is supported against tilting forces. This is particularly important if, as in the case of the one shown in FIG. 6, the tubular body protrudes far beyond the roller bearing 4 in the attached state.
Der Rohrkörper 11 ist z. B. doppelt so lang wie der Rohrkörper 10 und kann aufgrund seiner symmetrischen Konstrukion beidseitig auf das Walzenlager 4 aufgesteckt und eingerastet werden.The tubular body 11 is, for. B. twice as long as the tubular body 10 and due to its symmetrical construction on both sides of the roller bearing 4 can be plugged and locked.
Die Verstrebungselemente 19 in der Mitte des Rohrkörpers 11 sind nochmal in der Einzelheit VIII in Fig. 8 vergrößert dargestellt. Sie dienen ebenfalls als Anschlag für eine Bewegung des Walzenkörpers 4 innerhalb der Nut 14 in axialer Richtung.The strut elements 19 in the middle of the tubular body 11 are again shown enlarged in detail VIII in FIG. 8. They also serve as a stop for movement of the roller body 4 within the groove 14 in the axial direction.
Um den Rohrkörper 10, 11 tragbügelseitig abzudecken, ist am inneren Rand des Walzenlagers ein Begrenzungssteg 20 vorhanden. Dieser kann beispielsweise auch die Aufgabe übernehmen, den Rohrkörper 10, 11 gegenüber Farbeintritt zu verschließen, insofern auch die andere Seite des Rohrkörpers durch den Walzenbezug ausreichend verschlossen ist. Weiterhin stellt der Steg 20 eine Wegbegrenzung beim Zusammenbau dar. Eine Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, daß der Rohrkörper 10, 11 in seinem jeweiligen Endbereich nicht selbst als "Haftmuffe" oder "Klemmhülse" für das Walzenlager 4 ausgebildet ist, sondern ein getrenntes Teil hierfür vorgesehen ist. In Fig. 9 ist demzufolge eine getrennte Haftmuffe oder Klemmhülse 21 dargestellt, die prinzipiell den gleichen Aufbau wie der Rohrkörper nach Fig. 5 aufweist, jedoch als getrenntes, separates Teil in ein zylindrisches Innenrohr des Walzenkörpers 10', 11', bzw. der Farbrolle mit Preßsitz oder dergleichen eingebracht wird. Hierdurch wird zwar ein weiteres Teil (Haftmuffe) benötigt. Als Walzenkörper können jedoch normale, abzulängende zylindrische Rohre verwendet werden, die wahlweise mit Plüsch- oder Schaumstoff bezogen werden können. In order to cover the tubular body 10, 11 on the support bracket side, a limiting web 20 is provided on the inner edge of the roller bearing. This can also take on the task, for example, of closing the tubular body 10, 11 against the entry of paint, insofar as the other side of the tubular body is sufficiently closed by the roller cover. Furthermore, the web 20 represents a path limitation during assembly. A variant of the invention provides that the tubular body 10, 11 is not itself designed in its respective end region as an "adhesive sleeve" or "clamping sleeve" for the roller bearing 4, but a separate part is provided for this. 9 accordingly shows a separate adhesive sleeve or clamping sleeve 21, which in principle has the same structure as the tubular body according to FIG. 5, but as a separate, separate part in a cylindrical inner tube of the roller body 10 ', 11', or the ink roller is introduced with a press fit or the like. As a result, another part (adhesive sleeve) is required. However, normal cylindrical tubes to be cut to length can be used as roller bodies, which can optionally be covered with plush or foam.
