Abstract:
1. A paint roller frame comprising an elongate portion defining a handle having a central axis, and a hinged member that is rotatable in a first radial direction between a first position generally coaxial with the central axis and a second position extending angularly away from the central axis, the hinged member supporting a pair of legs on a pivot such that the pivot is adjacent the hinge and such that the legs are pivotable with respect to each other in a second radial direction between open and closed positions, the first and second radial directions being angularly offset with respect to each other, wherein, when the hinged member is in the second position and the legs are in the open position, the legs provide a support for maintaining a nap of a roller cover disposed on the roller frame away from a surface upon which the legs are permitted to rest.
