Abstract
A cage for a paint roller is composed as a one piece, unitary construction having a plurality of projections. The projections make pressure contact with the inside of the bore in the center of the cover so as to prevent the cover from walking off the cage in use. The projections are formed to adapt to structural irregularities in the cover bore. A cage and cover sub-assembly and a paint roller incorporating the above is disclosed. The cage may have a tubular construction with the projections extending from the exterior of the tube, or the cage may have a beam-like construction along which hubs are spaced with the projections extending from the hubs and/or the beam.
