  • Method for paint removal from paint roller
    Patent number: 10737528
    Abstract: A paint roller removal tool has two semi-cylindrical portions and a hinge connecting them to form a cylinder in the closed position. By squeezing the cylinder, over top of a paint roller cover, first and second inner rings engage the roller cover to remove paint as the paint roller removal tool is moved from one end to another. One, two, three or more passes can be made to remove paint from the roller cover. Squeezing the cylinder further allows firm gripping of the roller cover to enable it to be removed from the paint roller frame and/or attached to the paint roller frame without a hand ever touching the roller cover.
