Provided is a paint roller which includes a handle connected to one end of a wire frame and a cage connected to an opposite end of the wire frame onto which a paint roller cover may be positioned and engaged over. The handle may include an insert or adapter allowing for connecting various types of extension poles. The cage may be connected through the wire frame through the use of bearings and bushings.

A paint roller for painting corners and other angled surfaces. The paint roller includes a handle having a forked end from which a pair of arms extends. The pair of arms are preferably perpendicular in configuration. A roller can be positioned over each arm wherein the rollers are capable of rotating around the arms. In some embodiments, the arms are removably secured to the forked end of the handle so as to allow the user to utilize one or two paint rollers while painting. In this way, the device allows a user to paint the surfaces on opposing sides of a corner in a single stroke, allowing the user to more easily paint posts and other similar surfaces.

A detachable grip is provided with bracket system that can be removably attached to a desired location along the length of a fishing rod, and that has a removable grip which attaches to the bracket. More particularly, in one embodiment the bracket girdles the fishing rod using bolts to fasten a top half of the bracket to the bottom half of the bracket. In one or more embodiments, the grip attaches to the bracket and extends in a direction away from the bracket that is substantially in a direction perpendicular to the rod. In one embodiment, the grip is attached to the bracket by a bolt, and is adapted to allow the grip to be readily detached.

A versatile extension grip that may be affixed to a handle such as the handle of a broom, mop, shovel, paint roller, fruit picker or other type of tool. The versatile extension grip provides leverage, maneuverability and efficiency in using many different types of tools and provides for the tools to be manipulated using only one hand.

A roller with a roller attachment adapted to be releasably engaged or attached to the output tube of a heat gun and to direct that hot air output toward the sheet material at a point where it is being applied ahead of the roller, and a method of applying a sheet material by comprising smoothing the sheet material against a surface.

One or more technique and/or systems for a coating roller assembly, including a coating applicator cage frame and a frame wire. The roller assembly can comprise a handle coupled with the frame wire configured to operably hold the coating applicator cage frame. Bearings can be fixed to the coating applicator cage frame at its both ends. Instead of using typical pinning or swedging techniques for holding the bearing, a sleeve can be crimped into place over a treated surface of the frame wire between the second end and third bend (112). In this way, for example, the structural integrity of the frame wire can be substantially maintained, providing for improved durability and a longer life for the roller assembly.

A paint roller pole light device is disclosed that comprises a repositionable light component that is removably attached via straps to a paint roller pole. Specifically, the repositionable light component is attached to a repositionable arm via an omni-directional mount. In this manner, the device illuminates the area directly in front of the paint roller during use. Further, the device is available in a kit comprising two repositionable lights, one for use and one to be charged, with straps to hold the light, and a charger.

A paint roller assembly for allowing a sufficient amount of pressure to be applied for distributing paint evenly is disclosed. The paint roller assembly includes a pair of frame members. One frame member includes a handle. A cylindrical-shaped core is attached to another end of each of the frame members. In one aspect, the pair of frame members are coupled to each other at a first end by a variety of different coupling mechanisms. When assembled, a central, longitudinal axis of the handle is substantially parallel to a central, longitudinal axis of the cylindrical-shaped core, thereby allowing the user to apply sufficient pressure to more evenly distribute paint during use.

Provided is a paint roller that may include a wire frame and a magnetic shield selectively attachable to the paint roller. The wire frame may comprise a configuration including multiple bends. In an embodiment, the wire frame may include a straight portion, a first bend, a second bend that directs the frame at a 180 angle relative to the straight portion, and a third bend that directs the wire frame at an angle less than the first and second bends. The bends and legs of the wire frame may be positioned in the same plane. The paint roller may further comprise a handle, a roller cage, and a roller cover. The magnetic shield may be selectively attachable to an end of the paint roller. The shield may include a generally circular shaped face that defines a circumference having a slightly smaller circumference than the circumference of the paint roller cover.

An applicator roller assembly supports two roller sleeves for applying a liquid to a surface, such as painting a wall. The assembly has a rigid frame supporting first and second shaft members rotatably on the frame so that the shaft members mount the rollers sleeves thereon for rotation about first and second roller axes that are parallel to one another in a common roller plane. A handle body, that is arranged to be gripped in a hand of a user, extends along a handle axis in fixed orientation relative to the rigid frame such that the handle body extends transversely to the common plane of the first and second roller axes. The rigid connection between the handle body and the location of the roller axes on the rigid frame enables the user to controllably vary the amount of pressure applied to the surface by either one of the roller sleeves.
