2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when painting a wide area to be painted such as a wall surface or a ceiling surface, a large number of paints can be impregnated at one time and the painting surface is wide, so that it is a brush-like painting tool. Instead of, roller type paint tools are often used.

As shown in FIG. 10, this roller type coating tool is formed horizontally at the tip of an arm 2 formed by bending a metal rod having a grip portion 1 at its base end into a substantially end shape. In general, a cylindrical coating roller 3 formed of sponge, felt, or the like is inserted and shaft-attached to the extending roller mounting portion 21.

However, in the roller type coating tool, the coating roller 3 impregnated with the coating material is rotated while being pressed against the surface to be coated, and air is applied between the roller surface and the surface to be coated during coating. Since it is taken in between, many fine bubbles are generated on the coated surface or irregularities are generated on the coated surface, and it may be difficult to finish the coated surface beautifully.

Therefore, it is necessary to level the coated surface with a brush immediately after coating with the roller type coating tool, and the work is extremely complicated, and two types of coating tools, a roller type coating tool and a brush, must be prepared. In addition, it also took time and effort to dispose of the paint after use.

Therefore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-206661 proposes a roller type coating tool for finishing the coated surface without holding the brush.

In the roller type coating tool disclosed in this publication, after the coating roller is rotated and coating is performed, the coating surface is rubbed and smoothed while the rotation of the coating roller is stopped. It eliminates irregularities and makes it a glossy surface to eliminate the complexity of finishing work with a brush.

[0008]

However, the roller-type coating tool with a stopper disclosed in the above publication has the following problems.
A rod-shaped stopper is slidably arranged on the arm, and the tip of the rod-shaped stopper, which is slid by operating the operating portion provided on the grip portion, is applied to the coating roller to stop the rotation.

Therefore, a bar-shaped stopper is slidably arranged on the arm, and further, a complicated operating portion is provided on the gripping portion, resulting in an increase in price, and a poor weight balance as a whole and poor usability. The tip of the stopper is applied to stop the rotation of the coating roller, and there is a problem that the surface of the coating roller is scratched by the stopper and durability is reduced.

However, the scraper disclosed in the above publication is removably fixed to the screw, and in particular, since the lower end is vertically fixed because it is in a fixed state in the vertical direction, it is in close contact with the bottom wall. Therefore, there is a problem that the remaining stored materials cannot be reliably dispensed.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to directly finish the coated surface without replacing the brush with a brush which is extremely simple and inexpensive and easy to operate. An object of the present invention is to provide a roller-type coating tool that can be used.

[0012]

It is characterized by

With the stopper member removed from the end of the shaft hole of the coating roller, the coating roller is impregnated with the coating material and applied to the surface to be coated and rotated for coating in the same manner as in the conventional roller coating tool. Next, the stopper is moved to the side of the coating roller to be fitted into the end portion of the shaft hole of the coating roller to stop the rotation of the coating roller, and finish the coating surface.

Further, when the stopper member has a shape in which the main body of the hollow truncated cone is continuously connected to the hollow disk-shaped collar member with the converging side toward the tip, the collar member is held in the axial direction. It is very easy to move and without getting your hands dirty.

Further, when the main body of the stopper member is a notched piece which is a hollow truncated cone, the stopper member is movable along the arm from the end of the shaft hole of the coating roller to the gripping portion. The stopper member is movable from the grip portion at the base end to the coating roller at the tip end by passing through the bent portion of the arm. , For example, when the coating roller is rotated for coating, the stopper is located in the storage portion formed in the grip portion, and when the coating roller is stopped and the coating surface is stroked,
