Application Juiy 2, 1957, Serial No. 669,491
1 Claim. (Cl. 15-230) This invention relates to improvements in rollers for applying paint, or like substances, to walls or other surfaces.
The present invention relates to that class of device consisting of a handle and a cylinder or wheel, the periphery of the wheel having a removable covering, of fabric or other material, adapted to be dipped in paint and suitable for applying the paint to a wall or other surface.
A general object of the present invention is to provide an improved roller which is particularly suitable for applying paint to a groove or other defined area and which can be used to paint mortar lines or to simulate mortar lines and thereby create artificial brick or stone effects on building walls.
A particular object of the invention is to provide an improved paint roller adapted to effectively control paint which overflows the periphery of the wheel, and prevent said paint from flowing onto the trunnions and handle or onto the hand of the user, there being means on both sides of the wheel to trap paint and throw it outwardly on the faces and back toward the periphery as the wheel is turned, thereby conserving paint in addition to preventing the overflowing paint from running onto the trunnions, where it would harden and destroy the mobility of the wheel, or onto the handle where it would cause considerable mess and inconvenience.
A further object is to provide a paint roller, or wheel, the periphery of the wheel being transversely tapered to wedgingly and removably receive a paint applying skin, of fabric or other material, which skin or covering may be easily removed and replaced when worn.
Further objects of the invention are to provide an improved paint roller which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction, and which is well adapted for the purposes described.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists of the improved paint roller, and all of its parts and combinations, as set forth in the claim, and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing, in which the same reference numerals designate the same parts in all of the views:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the paint roller in operative position showing it in use on a wall;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view;
Fig. 3 is a view of the paint roller looking at the underside with part of the roller broken away and shown in section; and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wheel and trunnions showing the improved paint-catching grooves.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the de- 2,848,730 Patented Aug. 26, 1958 vice comprises a handle 11 formed of wood, metal or other suitable material, with spaced arms or holders 7 with end bearing portions having open-sided recesses 6 forming bearings for removably receiving trunnions 14 projecting from a wheel 12.
The protruding hub extensions 13 are one of the important features of the present invention as they form a groove 8 on each face of the wheel for catching paint overflowing the periphery of the Wheel, and for retaining it until it is again thrown out onto the faces 9 of the wheel and toward the periphery during use. The outer face of each hub extension 13 preferably has a diameter at least equal to the maximum external dimension of the adjacent bearing portion so as to cover and protect the inner surface of the latter.
Each groove is preferably formed by having the periphery of the hub extension tapered toward the face of the wheel as at 15 so that the hub is of progressively less diameter toward the wheel face.
The periphery of the wheel 12 tapers transversely as at 10 for removably and wedgingly receiving a paint holding covering or skin 5, of fabric or other suitable material, which may be dipped in paint, and the paint applied to a surface by rolling the wheel along the surface.
The trunnions 14 fit removably in the bearing recesses 6 of the holders 7 in a manner permitting their rotation as the wheel is drawn along a surface. With the closed sides of the recesses facing outwardly, as shown in Fig. l, the pressure of use will maintain the trunnions in position in the bearings. The quick separability of the wheel facilitates cleaning.
Various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all of such changes are contemplated as may come within the scope of the claim.
What I claim is:
A hand roller for applying paint to mortar line grooves, or for simulating mortar lines, comprising a handle having spaced-apart elongated holders with enlarged end bearing portions, a wheel having end faces and having an integral circular protrusion of less diameter than the end face on each end face, the periphery of each circular protrusion being angled toward said face in a direction to provide a circular groove for catching paint which overflows the periphery of the wheel, an integral trunnion projecting from each circular protrusion and rotatably supported in said enlarged bearing portions, the spacing between the enlarged bearing portions being substantially filled by the Wheel and circular protrusions so that the outer faces of the latter rotate close to the inner faces of said enlarged end bearing portions, the diameter of each circular protrusion being at least, equal to the greatest dimension of the adjacent enlarged end bearing portion so as to substantially cover the latter and protect the same from paint, whereby paint in the grooves will tend to flow back on the faces of the wheel toward its periphery during use.
