Abstract

An attachment for a paint roller pad includes a semi-cylindrical shield and a plurality of slotted clips to permit the shield to be positioned with respect to a paint roller pad by using one of the clips to attach the shield to the paint roller. Each of the slotted clips define a slot which is parallel to the central axis of the semi-cylindrical shield. A plurality of additional attachment members are positioned along an arcuate edge of the shield.

Claims

1. An attachment for a roller pad paint applicator to prevent splattering of paint during the application by the paint roller, said paint roller having a handle portion, a cylindrical pad rotatable about a spindle, and an arm connecting said spindle to said handle, comprising:

a generally semi-cylindrical plastic shield curved about a central axis, and

a plurality of plastic clip means, integrally molded with said plastic shield, for attaching said shield to said arm so that the central axis of said shield is parallel with said spindle, each of said clip means circumferentially displaced with respect to the other clip means, each of said clip means comprising;

a slotted clip member formed integrally with said shield, extending radially from said shield, each slot positioned parallel to the central axis of said semi-cylindrical shield to allow said shield to be adjusted with respect to said paint roller by attaching said shield by individual ones of said clip means to said arm, and

an additional clip member positioned on an arcuate edge of said shield for attachment to said arm.

2. An attachment for a roller pad paint applicator to prevent splattering of paint during the application by the paint roller, said paint roller having a handle portion, cylindrical pad rotatable about a spindle, and an arm connecting said spindle to said handle, comprising:

a generally semi-cylindrical shield curved about a central axis,

a plurality of clip means for attaching said shield to said arm so that the central axis of said shield is parallel with said spindle, each said clip means including a slotted member formed integrally with said shield, extending radially from said shield, each slot positioned parallel to the central axis of said semi-cylindrical shield to allow said shield to be adjusted with respect to said paint roller by attaching said shield by individual ones of said clip means to said arm, and

an adapter means comprising a portion engageable alternatively with each of said clip means and a portion engageable with said arm, for connecting said attachment to said paint roller whereby said attachment may be used with variously configured paint rollers.
