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 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 paint roller guide includes a mounting structure configured to be positioned adjacent a portion of a paint roller frame, and a flexible surface configured to bend according to a dimension of the portion of the paint roller frame so as to snap together the mounting structure and the portion of the paint roller frame. A guide arm is mounted to the mounting structure. The guide arm may be configured to rotate in multiple directions relative to a length of the mounting structure.

A threaded adapter device couples a liquid compound applicator, such as a paint applicator, to a liquid compound container in a liquid-tight manner, where the liquid applicator and the liquid container cannot be directly joined because they have incompatible screw-on thread configurations, but the threaded adapter device provides threads compatible with the threads of both the liquid applicator and the liquid container, as well as providing a fluid channel from the liquid container to the liquid applicator.

A paint roller and paint roller shield assembly comprises a roller for applying paint, having a paint applying surface that terminates at a rim located at an end of the roller. A paint roller shield, connected to the end of the roller, comprises a plate with a planar surface having a substantially round and beveled peripheral edge and a curved cutout configured as a missing portion of the plate. The beveled peripheral edge is angled and sloped outwardly away from the planar surface. In a plan view of the plate, the cutout exposes a part of the rim comprising part of the paint applying surface of the roller and wherein the plate and the beveled peripheral edge covers a remaining part of the rim of the roller not exposed by the cutout.

The invention is a roller liquid compound applicator configured to attach to the threaded neck of a liquid supply container for the purpose of applying a coating of a liquid compound to a target surface, and includes: a U-shaped roller support frame including a substantially cylindrical dispenser coupling cap and a drip guard attached to the dispenser coupling cap, the dispenser coupling cap having a threaded cavity configured for mating with the threaded neck of the liquid supply container; and a liquid compound roller sleeve secured to the roller support frame.

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.
