Abstract

A storage device for storing a roller includes an upper member and a lower member that is pivotally connected along an edge of the upper member, the upper and lower members defining therebetween an enclosed cavity with the storage device in a closed position. The upper and lower members together define an opening, in the closed position, that extends into the enclosed cavity, the opening being sized to accommodate a handle of the roller with a nap of the roller disposed within the enclosed cavity. Each of the upper and lower members have at least one corresponding projection that extends into the enclosed cavity a predetermined distance to engage the roller and to prevent contact between the nap and the upper and lower members.
