  • Patent number: 6976284
    Abstract: The paint roller cover extender is a paint roller cover accessory that would allow the corner areas of a room to be painted in one motion using a conventional paint roller. The product would feature a cylindrical cap having the same diameter as a roller cover, a closed end, and an open end with an elastic band woven into the inner surface near the open edge. The elastic band would allow the unit to be easily snapped over and secured to the end of a roller cover. The paint roller cover extender would be made of the same material as the roller cover. In use, the standard roller cover would be used to apply paint to one section of a corner while the extender would apply paint at a right angle to the other wall of the corner. The paint roller cover extender could be sold as an after purchase accessory for conventional paint roller covers, or it could be packaged as a unit with a paint roller and cover.
