Abstract
A combination of a lint roller and encasement therefor in which two clam shell elements are pivotally connected together at one of their ends. One of the elements is a holder for a lint roller and the other is a cover/handle which when pivoted closed encloses the lint roller and when pivoted open serves as a handle. The two elements are each one-piece molded parts. The holder element includes a flexible flange extending from the end walls and between which the adhesive roller is rotatably mounted. The flanges preferably are circular in shape with protrusions extending therefrom having a diameter slightly less than the openings in the end of the cylindrical lint roller. The adjacent end walls of the two elements are inclined at each other so that the cover/handle when fully open extends at an angle from the axis of the roller providing space between the handle and applied surface when the roller is used on a flat surface.
