In some implementations, a method of using the paint roller remover comprises holding and moving the paint roller remover toward a roller cover of a paint roller, receiving and securing the roller cover with the paint roller remover, and removing the roller cover from the paint roller with the paint roller remover.

A tool is provided that includes unitary plate that includes a blade portion and a tang portion. The blade portion can include an edge. The tang portion can include a positioning hole, a first hole, a slot, a second hole, a rivet hole, and one or more teeth (also referred to as one or more barbs) on a side of the tang portion. The tool can further include a hilt member which includes a through passage, a tab, and a notch. The tool includes an overlay on a body to create a handle for gripping the tool. The tool further includes a hammerhead cap on an end of the body, the hammerhead cap is coupled to the handle with a rivet through the rivet hole.

A paint roller cleaning system including an elongated cylindrical member configured to receive a paint roller, a first-end-cap, and a second-end-cap. The first-end-cap for attachment at a first-end of the elongated cylindrical member and the second-end-cap for attachment at a second-end of the elongated cylindrical member. The first-end-cap includes a threaded-member and may couple to a water supply and direct water through a receiving-aperture. The second-end-cap includes an exit-aperture and a positioning-member for positioning the paint roller above the exit-aperture allowing for water to drain therethrough. The paint roller cleaning system may be used for cleaning a paint roller when inserted into the elongated cylindrical member and the water supply is activated.

A self-contained artistic storage and creation apparatus includes a housing having a volume defined by a width, length, and depth. At least one drawer is slidably located within the housing and is substantially the depth of the housing. The at least one drawer is sized to contain artistic supplies. A first writing surface is slidably located on an exterior surface of the housing. A second writing surface is slidably located within the housing. The second writing surface is accessible by sliding the first writing surface from a first writing position to a second writing position. A cavity is located within the housing and between the first and second writing surfaces. The cavity is substantially the length and depth of the housing. The cavity is accessible by sliding at least one from the set of: the first writing surface and the second writing surface.

A paint roller debris deposit pad for holding excess paint and debris from a painted surface includes a mount which is removably coupled to a paint roller frame. The mount includes a pair of retention tabs. Each of the retention tabs is attached to and extends frontwardly from a respective one of a top edge and a bottom edge of the mount. A plurality of couplers is attached to and extends rearwardly from the rear surface wherein each of the plurality of couplers removably couple the mount to the paint roller frame. A pad is removably coupled to the mount using the retention tabs. The pad receives and holds any excessive paint and debris found and removed from a surface after being painted by a paint roller.

A kit, a method, and a coloring unit, for preparing a colored sample of paint, lacquer or varnish for the selection, by the user, of a desired color of a paint, lacquer or varnish to be applied to a wall or to a support, where the kit allows users to produce a reduced quantity of sample of paint, lacquer or varnish thanks to the possibility of employing specifically conceived pre-dosed coloring units, and thanks to the possibility of having available precise indications about the type and the quantity of coloring units to be added to the base paint, varnish or lacquer to obtain a determined color, also as a function of different quantities of the base paint, lacquer or varnish.

A drive mechanism for transposition and stirring by single disc single motor includes a rotating transposition disc, wherein the transposition disc is a single-layer transposition disc, at least one gear set in which a gear ring is engaged with a planetary gear is arranged successively from inside to outside with the rotating shaft of the single-layer transposition disc as the center, the gear ring of each gear set is fixed on a rack, and the planetary gear engaged with the gear ring is rotationally installed on the transposition disc to serve as a driving gear of a stirring shaft of a color matching paint bucket. By adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the structure is reasonable, the parts and components of the color mixing machine are reduced without reducing and decreasing the functions of the color mixing machine.

The adapter connects an aerosol or similarly shaped can to a power tool for the purpose of mixing the contents within the can. The adapter preferably connects a reciprocating power tool, such as a reciprocating saw, to a spray paint can that is necessarily shaken before use. To secure the can to the power tool, the adapter has multiple fingers that grasp the end of an aerosol can with respective tabs. The tabs catch on a ring on the topside of the spray paint can to prevent it from breaking away from the reciprocating tool during operation. To secure the adapter to the can, a collar surrounds the fingers and tightens around the fingers to securely fasten them to the can. Accordingly, the can is held in place until the collar is released and the tabbed fingers can be pulled away from the can.

A wiping device for removing fluid material from a mixing paddle. The wiping device includes a contact portion and an accumulation portion that downwardly extends from a lower end of the contact portion. A passage extends through the contact portion and the accumulation portion and is adapted for receiving the mixing paddle therethrough. An upper portion of the passage is located within the contact portion and is sized and shaped to contact opposed sides of the mixing paddle to wipe the fluid material off of the opposed sides of the mixing paddle when the contact portion is moved along the opposed sides of the mixing paddle. A lower portion of the passage located within the accumulation portion forms a cavity in fluid flow communication with the upper portion of the passage in the contact portion.
