Abstract: A paint roller frame with a cage assembly rotatably mounted on a shaft portion of the roller frame, which is used with a replaceable paint roller sleeve, and accessories useful when working with the paint roller frame. The cage assembly is designed to securely retain a paint roller sleeve and to eliminate leakage of paint into the interior of the roller sleeve core. The roller cage assembly comprises the bearing portion and the outer portion which is removable to permit replacement of the roller sleeve. The bearing portion has the roller sleeve supporting surface and the inner annular face to be urged against the inner end of the sleeve core. The outer portion has the cylinder surface to support the outer end of the sleeve and the outer annular face to be urged against the outer end of the sleeve core.
