Indexable paint roller frame

摘要

A paint roller frame includes a handle having a radial bore and a wire shank having an outer end for rotatably supporting a paint roller cover and an inner end rotatably received in the bore. The outer end of the wire shank extends at an angle relative to the inner end whereby turning movement of the inner end within the bore will cause a change in the orientation of the outer end and thus the paint roller cover supported thereby relative to the handle. Between the inner and outer ends of the wire shank is an intermediate portion including a radial leg extending at a right angle relative to the inner end which is spring biased into engagement with any one of a plurality of notches in an end wall of the handle surrounding the bore for retaining the outer end of the wire shank in any one of a plurality of different orientations relative to the handle. A pushing force applied to a button or the innermost end of the wire shank will cause the radial leg of the intermediate portion to move out of engagement with any one of the notches thus permitting the inner end of the wire shank to be turned within the bore to change the orientation of the outer end relative to the handle.
