ABSTRACT:
A paint roller adapter is disclosed which includes a substantially longitudinal first rod and a second rod. The first rod is suitable for being received by a drill chuck. The second rod, being longer in length than the first rod, is capable of receiving a mini-roller about the longitudinal centroid of the roller. Between the first and second rods may include a handle portion to facilitate a user grasping the adapter. Between the handle and the second rod is a step taper, preferably with annular ribs thereon. This step taper has a gradual increase in diameter from the surface of the second rod increasing in the direction of the handle. This gradual taper provides secure frictional contact between the roller and the taper/second rod combination, thus securably fastening the roller to the adapter. Between the handle and the first rod exists an annular taper that would facilitate the insertion of the first rod into a paint roller spinner, the jaws of the roller securing onto the handle. This allows for a method of cleaning the roller by rotating the adapter and roller secured thereon, through the centroid of the roller, thus allowing for a high angular velocity, the centrifugal force displacing the moisture, paint and debris therefrom.
