ABSTRACT:
A paint roller pan includes a relatively deep distal paint reservoir and a relatively shallow inclined roller ramp. The proximal end of the roller ramp is provided with a downward extending flared support with distally extending feet for engaging a step ladder. The reservoir and the ramp are separated by a dam having a central notch through which paint drains from the ramp into the reservoir. An inner side wall of the pan is provided with a vertical V-shaped notch on the proximal side of the dam for engaging the arm of a paint roller with an extended handle and holding it in a vertically fixed position. Two outer side walls of the pan have notched handle receiving slots. A handle with hooked ends engages the notched slots and is movable to engage appropriate notches so that the pan is balanced when lifted with one hand regardless of how much paint it is holding. Preferred aspects of the paint roller pan include: tapering the side walls of the reservoir and the ramp so that the pan is stackable, providing an upper edge lip with gussets to facilitate stacking, forming the handle as a single resilient molded member with a ribbed gripping surface, providing ribs on the floor of the ramp and paint draining channels on the left and right sides of the ramp ribs. The presently preferred embodiment of the paint roller pan is dimensioned to hold a full quart of paint.
