Abstract
An improved paint roller frame that permits switching between two paint rolling directions or between two tilted painting angles. The frame comprises a roller cage assembly, a shaft for receiving the roller cage assembly, and a handle for supporting the shaft. The handle or its extension pole comprises two substantially elongated members being releasably fastened with a fastening means. Each of the mating ends of these two handle members has an oblique end section to which the normal is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the corresponding handle member at an angle of approximately 5 to 45 degrees. The roller handle or its extension pole may optionally have a second set of oblique sections, to which the normal is inclined with respect to the handle axis at an angle of approximately 5 to 45 degrees. The second set of oblique planes are inclined at an angle of approximately 45 to 90 degrees with respect to the first set. One set of the oblique planes can be used for tilted painting angle adjustments while the other for paint rolling direction adjustments.
