Abstract
A combination of a lint roller and encasement therefore 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 handle/cover element includes side sections which pivotally collapse to form a smaller and more comfortable handle in the opened use position. The holder element includes flanges extending from the end walls and between which the adhesive roller is rotatably mounted. The flanges are preferably arcuate in shape and have slanted edges providing a cam to spread the collapsed sections of the handle/cover to allow the handle/cover to fit over the roller and protect it.
