Abstract
Abstract An expansible paint applicator of the roller variety is provided with two frame members. One frame member has attached thereto the applicator handle and a rotatably mounted applicator sleeve. This sleeve when used alone for painting flat surfaces paints a narrow strip in its track. The other frame member likewise has a rotatable applicator sleeve mounted thereto and is adapted for coupling to the first frame member and handle to adjoin both rotatable sleeves in contiguous end-to-end relation. When the rollers are thus conjoined, the applicator paints a wide strip in its track coextensive with the axial length of the conjoined applicator sleeves.
