Abstract: A roller frame is for use with a roller. The roller frame includes a base component, and first and second supporting components operatively projecting from the base component. Each supporting component has a mounting cap for receiving a corresponding distal end of the roller. The first and second supporting components are angularly adjustable with respect to the base component via a tightening assembly for allowing the roller to be selectively positioned at different angles with respect to the base component of the roller frame.

Abstract: A sanding device (1) includes a base plate (3) with opposite sanding and supporting surfaces (5,7); as well as a joint (29) operatively mounted onto the supporting surface (7) of the base plate (3) and rotatable about a first axis of rotation (93). A supporting tube is (69) operatively mounted onto the joint (29) and rotatable with respect to the joint (29) about a second axis of rotation (95).

Abstract: A utility tool, such a putty knife, includes an elongated handle for manual handling of the utility tool, a blade and a screw bit assembly. The handle extends substantially along a longitudinal axis, and has front and rear portions. The blade has an anchoring portion anchored within the handle and an operating portion extending out from the front portion of the handle. The screw bit assembly is rotatably mounted about the rear portion of the handle, has a screw bit, and is operable between a non-operating configuration where the screw bit is nested within the handle, and an operating configuration where the screw bit is drawn out of the handle and securely maintained in a fixed configuration so as to be positioned at a slanted angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle.

Abstract: A roller cap for removably mounting onto a distal end of an oversized roller cover adapts the oversized roller cover so that it can be used with a standard roller frame. The cap has a mounting portion mounted onto the distal end of the oversized roller cover and has a peripheral outer surface which frictionally engages with an inner bore of the oversized roller cover. A receiving portion is connected to the mounting portion and receives and frictionally secures the standard roller frame. The standard roller frame is passed through an aperture of the receiving portion, enabling the oversized roller cover to be used with the standard roller frame. A kit has at least one oversize roller cover, a standard roller frame and a cap. An inner tube can connect the receiving portions of caps, guiding the roller frame and producing a greater frictional fit.

Abstract: A paint liner having a containment area within the paint liner for receiving and containing paint, the containment area defining a peripheral edge provided with a rim, the rim being provided with male and female components, the male and female components of the paint liner being positioned, shaped and sized with respect to one another so that the paint liner can be operated along first and second operating modes, where in the first operating mode the male component of the paint liner is insertable into a corresponding female component of another paint liner so that the paint liners can be nested into one another, and where in the second operating mode the paint liner is turned over so that the male component of the paint liner is insertable into another corresponding female component of the other paint liner in order to have the first paint liner cover the containment area of the other paint liner.

Abstract: A utility tool, such a putty knife for example, including an elongated handle for manual handling of the utility tool, a blade and a screw bit assembly. The screw bit assembly is rotatably mounted about the rear portion of the handle, has a screw bit, and is operable between a non-operating configuration where the screw bit is nested within the handle, and an operating configuration where the screw bit is drawn out of the handle and securely maintained in a fixed configuration so as to be positioned at a slanted angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In addition to being able to carry out other various functions, in drywall applications and the like, the tool by virtue of its design and components enables a more ergonomic grip, and to have a greater lever effect for screwing fasteners with its screw bit assembly.
