The invention consists of bonding a strip of pile fabric to a plastic tube which is mounted over a mandrel, by an adhesive substance. The adhesive substance may take many forms, and heat derived from a multitude of heat sources, such as infra red, radio frequency, open flame, quartz, induction, ultrasonic or a plasma jet may be used to ensure a good bond between the plastic tube and the pile fabric.

Method for manufacturing paint roller

A paint roller is comprised of a thermoplastic tubular core and a cover fabric heat-fused thereto without an intermediate adhesive. The fabric is wound around the core in a helical path, and the core is heat-softened in the zone of winding to fuse the fabric to the core as it is wound thereon.

Method of manufacturing paint rollers

The invention consists of applying a thermosetting adhesive in a molten state to an area where a strip of pile fabric is wound onto a plastic tube which is mounted over a rotating roller. The molten thermosetting adhesive is applied by a nozzle connected to a reservoir where the thermosetting adhesive is heated. After application, the adhesive, the strip of pile fabric and the plastic tube are joined together, forming a structurally integral paint roller body.
