Abstract: A coating roller device which rotatably supports on a supporting shaft a tubular cylindrical coating roller body provided with delivery holes for a coating material through its circumferential wall, and which is adapted to feed a coating material to the roller body, incorporates within the roller body a scraper means extending substantially the whole length of the roller body, and having a scraping element fixed on the supporting shaft and approximating the inner circumferential surface of the roller body. The roller body is rotatable relatively to the scraper means. When the roller body is brought into contact with a surface and is moved therealong by using the supporting shaft, the roller body rotates relatively to the scraper means, whereby the coating material fed into the roller body is scraped off the inner surface thereof through the delivery holes in the circumferential wall of the roller body by the scraping element of the scraper means.
