One or more technique and/or systems for a coating roller assembly, including a coating applicator cage frame (122) and a frame wire (102, 302). The roller assembly can comprise a handle (150) coupled with the frame wire (102, 302) configured to operably hold the coating applicator cage frame (122). Bearings (120, 126, 320, 326) can be fixed to the coating applicator cage frame (122) at its both ends. Instead of using typical pinning or swedging techniques for holding the bearing (120, 302), a sleeve can be crimped into place over a treated surface of the frame wire (102, 302) between the second end (106) and third bend (112). In this way, for example, the structural integrity of the frame wire (102, 302) can be substantially maintained, providing for improved durability and a longer life for the roller assembly.

A refillable skin lotion dispenser includes a refillable lotion housing having an openable collar located at or adjacent a first end thereof. The collar includes a dispensing valve configured to dispense lotion therethrough under gravity; and an annular sponge permanently secured to the collar and configured to surround the dispensing valve so as to be operative to spread dispensed lotion over an area of skin.

This cleaning tool has a shape that includes an angle, a flat bottom surface and rounded front protuberances, and can be attached to any pole, either directly at the cleaning tool's receiving opening, or using the provided adaptor between the cleaning tool and pole. The cleaning tool is covered with a washable and removable microfiber sock, or a sanding or scrubbing pad is attached to hook material on the flat side of the tool. When the cleaning tool is attached to the opposite end of a painter's pole from the paint roller, a painter can seamlessly paint and clean errant drips without switching tools, by reversing the assembly.

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.

The Phillips Smart Edge is a paint application tool with guide means, made of synthetic material And is used for painting in any standard rooms corner in edgeing and trimming. The cornered walls intersecting surface characterized in that the guide means in the form of a roller project outward and parallel (FIG. 2) Metal Bars as they lead downward. Preferably the application surface is triangular as standard walls with the roller overhanging edges which converge toward each other. The paint applied to surface rapidly and efficiently in use for the Phillips Smart Edge

A liquid applicator apparatus that allows for fast, convenient, and simultaneous application of a liquid to a plurality of surfaces, including: a handle member; an applicator retaining member; a first liquid applicator; a second liquid applicator; and wherein the first liquid applicator and second liquid applicator are adapted to enable a user to simultaneously apply a liquid to noncontinuous and/or nonplanar surfaces, that are ordinarily difficult to reach, in a fast and convenient manner.

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.

The invention includes an adapter for attachment to a paint applicator including a substantially cylindrical body having a fluid channel extending through the cylindrical body; a male thread formed on an outer surface of the cylindrical body and configured for removable attachment to the paint applicator; a first female thread extending into the fluid channel from a first end of the cylindrical body; a second female thread extending into the fluid channel from a second end of the cylindrical body; and a transfer channel extending between the first female thread and the second female thread so as to form the fluid channel.

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.

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.
