    摘要: A roller for applying paint or other liquid or semi-liquid substances to surfaces. The roller includes a tubular frame that extends in a cylindrical shape. This tubular frame has two ends: a first end tapers outward (away from the main body of the tubular frame) to an enclosed conical point or apex. A second end is open and adapted to permit access to the interior volume of the tubular frame by a shaft of a roller frame. The open second end of the tubular frame permits selective removal and insertion of the paint roller shaft into the tubular frame. Typically, the tubular frame is held in place on the shaft by friction. A cover wrap dimensioned to circumferentially envelop the tubular frame is also included in the assembly; this cover wrap has a liquid-absorbent outer surface adapted for temporarily retaining paint, stain, or other liquid or semi-liquid substances.

    摘要: A coating applicator that applies a coating or liquid to a variety of different substrates having different contoured surfaces is disclosed. A coating applicator of the present disclosure is able to reach, contact, and cover the entirety of a contoured substrate. In this manner, the coating applicator is able to transfer a coating to the entirety of the contoured substrate. Additionally, fluid application systems of the present disclosure include systems for advantageously providing a fluid to a fluid applicator.

    摘要: A spray roller system for application of architectural paints coating, includes an extension tube, a spray head mounted on a distal end of the extension tube, and the in-line valve with a trigger mounted on a proximal end of the extension tube, and a roller handle removable mounted on the extension tube adjacent the spray head. The spray roller system can spray and back roll a coating on a down stroke and roll on each up stroke. When the roller handle is removed from the extension tube, it can be used to hand roll sensitive wall areas. With the roller handle removed, extension tube, spray head, and in-line valve can be used as a spray extension to apply coatings in hard to reach areas.

    摘要: A paint applicator (1) comprises a housing (3) defining a hollow interior region (4) having a circumferentially extending inner arcuate surface (20). A roller (5) provided with a circumferentially extending paint transfer surface (34) is rotatably mounted in the housing (3) about a rotational axis (7). A paint container (9) releasably secured to an inlet port (35) in the housing (3) communicates the paint container (9) with a communicating recess (37) formed into the inner arcuate surface (20) of the housing (3). The communicating recess (37) communicates the paint transfer surface (34) of the roller (5) with paint from the paint container (9) through the inlet port (35). The paint transfer surface (34) of the roller (5) cooperates with the inner arcuate surface (20) of the housing (3) in order to form a seal around the periphery of the communicating recess (37) when the roller (5) is stationary in the housing (3) to seal the paint in the communicating recess (37).

    摘要: A system and method are provided for conditioning paint roller cover fabric inline in a continuous paint roller manufacturing process. The system and method provide an inline fabric conditioning unit upstream of the point in the process that the paint roller fabric cover strip is wrapped about the outer side of the outer strip, the fabric conditioning unit including a fabric conditioning device that conditions the paint roller fabric cover strip as it is being fed towards the outer side of the outer strip. The fabric conditioning unit may be used to perforate the fabric, to remove loose fibers from the fabric side of the paint roller fabric cover, to buff the paint roller fabric, and to orient the paint roller cover fibers. The continuous paint roller manufacturing process includes steps of feeding an inner strip and an outer strip towards a mandrel, wrapping the inner strip and the outer strip about the mandrel in offset relation, applying a strip adhesive to at least a portion of an outer side of the inner strip and at least a portion of an outer side of the outer strip, feeding a paint roller fabric cover strip having a fabric side and a backing side towards the outer side of the outer strip, the fabric side comprising loose fibers and attached fibers, forming a paint roller tube by wrapping the paint roller fabric cover strip about the outer strip at a point in the process after the strip adhesive has been applied to the outer side of the outer strip such that the backing side contacts the strip adhesive, applying compression to the paint roller tube, and cutting the paint roller tubes into like lengths.
