QUICK RELEASE PAINT ROLLER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A quick-release paint roller having a roller cover that can be removed from a handle assembly without requiring the user to apply a force directly to the roller cover. The paint roller includes a tube-shaped roller cover having an outer surface of paint absorbing material and a rotatably mounted roller core. The internal end of the roller core includes a roller mounting device. A handle assembly includes a housing having an extension member configured to receive the roller mounting device. The handle assembly also has a latching mechanism having an actuator that is movable between a latched position and a release position. When the actuator is in the latched position, the latching mechanism engages the roller mounting device to couple the roller core to the handle assembly. When the actuator is in the release position, the roller core and roller cover is released from the handle assembly.
