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.

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.

A retention assembly (10) for a hollow tubular decorating roller (202) comprising a fixed mount member (12) that is securable in use to a roller frame (26). The fixed mount member (12) includes a first primary support formation (16) and a first retention formation (18) that extends radially beyond the first primary support formation (16). The retention assembly (10) also includes a separable mount member (14) that is selectively couplable with the fixed mount member (12). The separable mount member (14) includes a second primary support formation (20) and a second retention formation (22) that extends radially beyond the second primary support formation (20). The first and second primary support formations (16, 20) are received, in use, by a respective end (204a, 204b) of a hollow tubular decorating roller (202). The first and second retention formations (18, 22) cooperate with one another while the separable mount member (14) is coupled with the fixed mount member (12) to in use retain a hollow tubular decorating roller (202) therebetween.

A paint dispensing roller assembly that comprises an applicator member of an absorbent material defining an enclosed applicator member cavity. The assembly further comprises a paint dispensing member disposed at least partially within the enclosed applicator member cavity and having an outer undulating surface with an alternating plurality of ridges and valleys defining an enclosed paint mixing cavity having at least one enclosed aperture defined thereon. The paint dispensing roller assembly also includes a cantilevered mixing member disposed at least partially within the enclosed paint mixing cavity and having at least one flange projecting radially from the cantilevered mixing member. The paint dispensing roller assembly further comprises a roller body including a handle and a shell portion defining a shell cavity wherein the applicator member is partially disposed. The applicator member and paint dispensing member are operably configured to rotate 360 degrees with respect to the roller body.

A roller spreading device for spreading a butter substance over a food product is provided. The device includes a basin structure and a roller member. The basin structure is sized to hold the butter substance for melting therein, the basin structure including a lower floor surface extending with an arcuate structure. The roller member includes a cylindrical outer surface with multiple recesses therein sized to capture the butter substance along the multiple recesses. The roller member, suspended within the basin structure, rotates about an axis such that the roller member rotates through the butter substance pooled along the arcuate structure.

A paint roller adapter enabling a large diameter paint roller cover to be used on a paint roller frame having a cage configured to receive smaller paint roller covers. The adapter is generally cylindrical in shape and comprises a cylindrical internal surface having a diameter sized to fit onto the cage of the roller frame and a substantially cylindrical external surface having a diameter sized to fit within the large paint roller cover. At least one gripping member projects outward, beyond the external surface of the adapter such that, in use, the gripping member(s) press against an internal surface of the large paint roller cover. The gripping members of the adapter serve to prevent the roller cover slipping about the external surface of the adapter. A pair of such adapters thereby enables a conventional paint roller frame to be used with large diameter roller covers.

A paint roller assembly, comprising a frame assembly including a handle and a frame, where one end of the frame is attached to the handle and the other end includes a cross-member structure attached to the frame opposite and orthogonal to the handle end, a first paint roller cage rotatably mounted on a first branch of the cross-member section, and a second paint roller cage rotatably mounted on a second branch of the cross-member structure. Optionally, a first paint roller cover can be placed over the first paint roller cage, and a second paint roller cover can be placed over the second paint roller cage, wherein at least one of the first paint roller cage and second paint roller cage has an end covered in paint-absorbing material for applying paint into a corner between adjacent surfaces.

A multipurpose frame system providing a Y-shaped frame with angular bend attached to a U-shaped frame capable of receiving and securing a functional system, such as, for example in one embodiment, a cylindrical roller for receiving and securing a paint roller pad, and functional system separately capable of being fully disconnected.

A liquid applicator for applying a liquid to a surface with an improved liquid delivery process. The liquid applicator includes a container having a container body that includes an opening and a chamber that is configured to receive and hold the liquid; and, a housing assembly removably attached to the container, the housing assembly including a liquid application element and a nozzle that delivers the liquid from the chamber to the application element, wherein the nozzle is configured to deliver the liquid from the chamber to the application element when the housing assembly is positioned in a first position with respect to the container, and wherein the container body comprises an interface, a main body portion, and a base.
