Abstract
A plastic paint roller frame includes a cross member having legs depending from opposite ends of the cross member, and pins on the legs in coaxial alignment with each other for rotatably mounting opposite ends of a roller cover between the legs. The legs have a pair of flexible ears on the inner ends thereof which are movable toward each other to permit the legs to be slid in and out of transverse openings in opposite ends of the cross member for ease of assembly and removal of the roller cover from the frame. External shoulders on the ears resist removal of the legs from the transverse openings when the legs are pushed into the transverse openings a sufficient distance such that the external shoulders clear the openings and the ears move the external shoulders radially outwardly into overlying relation with the upper ends of the transverse openings. The transverse openings and legs have axial slot and groove connections which prevent the legs from rotating within the transverse openings and maintain proper alignment of the pins on the legs with respect to each other.
