180 degree pivotable and telescoping paint roller frame
12115553 · 2024-10-15 ·

The present invention relates to a paint roller frame for application of a fluid, such as a paint or stain, on any surface. The paint roller includes a head section that can accommodate roller covers or paint rollers of various sizes by adjusting a length of a top edge that adjusts the distance between connectors configured for holding the roller cover. The frame includes an adjustable swivel that enables a pivotal movement of a pole section relative to the head section. The pole section can be secured to the swivel which enables users to rotate the attached roller cover in a range of motion generally 90-degrees on either side of the perpendicular direction to the head section. The pole section can be telescoping and enables users to paint elevated areas, thereby obviating a ladder or stepstool.
