ABSTRACT:
A concrete-finishing roller tool produces a desired texture using a simple operation, independent of a remote power source. A hollow cylindrical roller body incorporates randomly spaced protrusions or nubs on its surface. The protrusions have a substantially crystalline structure to emulate grains of salt for use in texturing freshly-poured concrete. A U-shaped frame rotatably engages the roller body, with a female socket member to receive a separate pole handle for remote manipulation thereof. Evenly-distributed concrete filler ensures that the roller body exerts a constant pressure to produce an even texturing pattern on a concrete surface. Alternatively, the roller body comprises a container member and a removable cap member that threadably engage each other, allowing a user to deposit a desired amount of sand therein to adjust the pressure that the roller body exerts. The concrete-finishing roller tool also eliminates concrete debris accumulation with a roller irrigation system to help prevent the drying of concrete debris on the roller body and a broom attachment that brushes off concrete debris that accumulates on the roller body during use. An alternative embodiment is a one-sided axle support system for the roller body that affords its use on the side edges of concrete surfaces, which are not accessible by other embodiments of the invention, thereby guaranteeing a complete concrete pattern finish.
