Abstract: A procedure for the manufacture of paint rollers comprised of a polyolefin core covered with a pile fabric consisting of tubular bodies similar in length made of polyolefins which are held in place by supports in the form of cylindrical bodies which may or may not be hollow. A mechanism at one end of the machine generates a lengthwise shifting and spiral rotational movement. A heat source softens the surface of the tubular body and incorporates a mechanism which generates the spiral rolling of a fabric cover on the tubular body softened on the outside.
