ABSTRACT:
A tri-roller painting assembly having a main body portion, including a lower handle portion and an upper roller support portion. The upper roller support portion supports a first roller rotationally mounted along the face of the upper support surface, which rotates but is stationary along its rotational axis. There is further provided a pair of movable arms mounted to the upper face portion of the system, with each of the arms movable between a first closed position and a second open position. Each of the arms further includes a roller extending perpendicular therefrom, with the rollers extending therefrom positioned in parallel relation and perpendicular to the first roller. There is further provided a trigger member on the handle so that when the trigger member is squeezed by the user of the apparatus, the movable arms are moved from the first end position to the second out position so that the pair of rollers may accommodate various widths of boards or the like. There is further provided a spring or expandable member, interconnecting the two arms so that when the trigger member is released, the two arms are pulled toward the closed position by the spring member for being held firmly against the sides of the surface to be painted. Further, there is provided a paint delivery system which includes a single paint feed line extending through the handle member and diverging into three separate lines with a first line feeding paint to the core of the first stationary roller member, and the second and third lines feeding paint into the core of each of the parallel roller members, thus enabling the user of the apparatus to paint varying widths of boards or type surfaces, which can adjust automatically to the different widths of the surfaces and can have a continuous paint feed into the system so that painting can continue without having to be interrupted during the painting process.
