Abstract: There is disclosed a paint roller support device attachable or integrally mounted to a roller frame handle or extension handle. The support device comprises a pair of legs that are pivotable with respect to each other, thereby defining open and closed positions, and further pivotable away from the roller frame handle or extension handle. When the legs are in the open position and oriented away from the long axis of the roller frame/extension handle, the support device provides a generally planar support surface by which the roller frame/extension handle can be placed on the floor, on a table or against a wall such that a nap of a roller cover is spaced apart from the resting surface.
