US Classification:

015244100, 015209100, 015210100

Abstract:

A disposable cleaning head and adapter therefor are positioned in a receptacle of predetermined cross-section at the forward end of a handle, the adapter converting the receptacle for use with cleaning heads having a different mounting cross-section. The cleaning head includes a base member of predetermined cross-section and configured for removable fitment in the converted receptacle, a cleaning member, and a holder for connecting the cleaning member to the base. Various cleaning heads are disclosed, one wherein a plurality of sponge-like cleaning strips radiate outwardly from the holder and form a ball, much like a sunburst, with the holder being fixed or mounted in a ball-joint socket relation to permit the “sunburst” to rotate relative to the base, another wherein a sponge like element is mounted to or removably interengaged with the holder, such as via piercing or complementary retention structure operating between the sponge element and the holder.

International Classification:

B05C 1702

US Classification:

1523011

Abstract:

A paint roller cover which can provide a "rag" finish. This paint roller cover includes an inner core with first and second separate core elements. A cover element covers the inner core. An adhesive formed on outer edges of the first and second separate core elements secures portions of the roller cover to the first and second separate core elements. A pressing member holds the inner core elements together for mounting the paint roller cover onto a paint roller holder. A painter can then impart a desired amount of twist onto portions of the roller cover, to select a desired finish achieved by such a paint roller cover. This paint roller cover can also be mounted on a conventional cage assembly paint roller holder, and thus is very easy and inexpensive to use.
