A paint roller protective device for a paint roller including a roller portion having a diameter, a handle and a shaft having an inner end connected to the handle and an outer end, the roller portion rotatably mounted on the shaft. The paint roller protective device includes (a) an elongated shell including an end wall, side walls extending from the end wall, an open end for receiving said roller portion, and an inner diameter selected to provide a clearance between the roller portion and the walls of the shell when the roller portion is inserted in the shell; (b) a cap for covering at least a portion of the open end of the shell, the cap including holder means for engaging and holding a portion of said handle when the roller portion is inserted in the shell and the cap is placed over said open end, such that the roller portion remains substantially free of the walls of the shell; and (c) attachment means for detachably attaching the cap to the shell. Further, the shell can have retaining means proximate said open end for engaging and holding a portion of said handle when the roller portion is inserted in the shell and the cap is placed over said open end, such that the roller portion remains substantially free of the walls of the shell, wherein the holder means and the retaining means form a housing for holding a portion of said handle.

Paint roller protective device

The present invention is a bed comprising a mattress which, in the event of an earthquake, is mechanically lowered into its rectangular frame. The movement caused by the earthquake further causes an attached, large, rectangular cover to mechanically collapse onto the top of the rectangular frame, thereby protecting the occupant or occupants of the bed. The bed and cover contain additional springs and supports, respectively, which enable the present invention to withhold the weight of accumulated and falling debris. Once an occupant is safely within the collapsed bed, means are provided within the bed to sustain the life of the occupant until outside assistance is received. When the cover of the bed is in its uncollapsed position, it unobtrusively lies against a wall of a bedroom acting as a vertical extension of the headboard and further containing useable and decorative shelves and/or cabinets.
