Bifurcated roller with paint tray divider receiver and integral frame

摘要

The present bifurcated roller tool includes a pair of rollers which rotate independently of the other. The rollers are rotatably engaged on a distal frame portion which has a pair of roller engaging portions. The roller engaging portions are separated from each other via a V-shaped medial frame section. The medial frame section defines a receiver which permits the reception of a paint tray divider. The paint tray divider separates two receptacle portions of a paint tray. A frame for the bifurcated roller includes an intermediate frame portion leading from a handle to one of the roller engaging portions of the distal frame portion. The other of the roller engaging portions includes a free outer end and it is over this end that roller covers are slid off the roller mounts and other roller covers slide onto their respective roller mounts. The roller cover which engages the roller mount proximate to the intermediate frame portion slides over the medial frame portion and onto and off the other of the roller mount when it is to be replaced or cleaned. The intermediate frame portion and roller engaging portions define sections of a rod such that the frame for the bifurcated roller is integral and one-piece.
