  Also, when pulling out the roller body from the rotation support shaft, directly gripping the roller body with the hand is dirty and it interferes with subsequent operations. However, since the paint is attached, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the paint, and there is a problem that the paint oozes out and adheres to the hand even when gripping with a waste cloth or the like.

Further, as an invention relating to a tool that allows the roller body to be detached from the rotation support shaft with a light force, Patent Document 1 exists, and according to this instrument, the roller body can be smoothly detached from the rotation support shaft. Although it is assumed that the present invention can be performed, the present invention is a “paint roll remover”, and other measures for cleaning and treatment after removal are not considered.
In other words, a separate cleaning tool is required for cleaning, and the specification of Patent Document 1 states that it is possible to have a small diameter portion pierced into the shaft hole of the roller body. However, since there is no particular standard for the rotation support shaft of the roller type applicator, the narrow diameter portion cannot be fitted into the shaft hole of the roller body, and conversely, the hole is too large to be supported, In addition, the shaft hole of the roller body is expanded by piercing the thin diameter part having a large diameter a plurality of times, and conversely, a device for removing the roller body from the small diameter part without directly touching is required. It is assumed that troubles such as these occur.
