Abstract
A paint roller cage assembly apparatus in which a group of four cage wires are held and affirmatively positioned generally as if at the corners of a square; a cage wire cap with sockets for the cage wires is then applied to one end of the cage wires, and a similar cage wire cap is next applied to the other end of the cage wires, thereby automatically assembling a paint roller cage; the apparatus includes cage wire feeders, and a plurality of cage wire holders in the form of pivotably associated links which may be pivoted to position the wires for the application of the caps.
