ABSTRACT:
A hand-held wallpaper applicator for supporting and applying sheet material to a wall or other surface comprises a hand held support member having a hand grip portion and a flat generally rectangular base portion with an elongate separable roller assembly rotatably and removably carried by the support member. The roller assembly is adapted to receive and releasably secure one end of a strip of wallcovering material thereon and to receive the remaining strip material thereon in a rolled condition. A laterally adjustable elongate tubular pressure contact member is removably carried at the forward end of the support member parallel with the roller assembly for contacting and applying pressure to the wallcovering material as it is scrolled off the roller assembly. A tensioning mechanism on the support member applies resilient pressure to the material rolled on the roller assembly and maintains the remaining material in the rolled condition as the material is being scrolled off the roller assembly. The tensioning mechanism is movable to engage the rolled material and a position out of engagement therewith remote from the roller assembly to remove and install the roller assembly. A level is carried on the pressure contact member for indicating the positioning of the sheet material upon the surface being covered. The material is scrolled onto the roller assembly by a removable hand crank.
