ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a roller assembly including a roller support coupled to a handle assembly. The roller support includes a detent releasably engageable with a roller cover. An actuator is coupled to the handle assembly for movement between a neutral position wherein the detent is engaged with the roller cover and a release position wherein the detent is disengaged with the roller cover thereby allowing the roller cover to be removed from the handle assembly. Thus, the present invention provides a quick-release roller assembly for use in applying paint or other material to a surface wherein a roller cover mounted to the roller assembly can be removed without requiring a person to touch the outer surface of the roller cover. Additionally, the present invention provides a roller cover for use with the roller assembly, as well as a pair of bushings for adapting a roller cover for use therewith.
