Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to liquid dispensing apparatus such as roller painters, and more particularly, to a roller liquid dispensing system including a paint dispensing assembly which dispenses liquid such as paint on a surface in an easy, clean and effective manner as the assembly is rolled against the surface.
  • roller painters include a roller handle from which extends a roller frame.
  • An elongated, cylindrical roller, which includes an outer layer of liquid absorbing material is rotatably mounted on the roller frame. Paint is applied to the liquid-absorbing material of the roller typically by pouring the paint in a roller pan and rolling the roller in the paint. The paint is then applied from the roller to a wall, ceiling or other surface by gripping the roller handle and rolling the roller in a back-and- forth motion against the surface. After most of the paint from the roller has been applied to the surface, the roller can be re-applied to the paint in the roller pan to continue painting.
