Abstract This invention is a paint applicator comprising a hollow cylindrically shaped relatively rigid tube being closed at both of its ends, but with opening means available to fill the cylinder with paint or the like and having means to accept a handle-holding mechanism to enable the cylinder to be rolled across a surface. The cylinder will normally be covered on its outside by a spreading material such as felt or the like and will have sufficient apertures interconnecting between the felt covering and the interior of the cylinder to allow constant feeding of the material within the cylinder to the applicating material. In its preferred form it will be further encased in an easily strippable material to avoid evaporation until it is used.
A disposable device for containing and applying liquid materials comprising a perforated cylinder, a closure fastened to each of the two ends of said cylinder, each of said closures having an hemispherical indentation in its center; a spreading material applied to the exterior of said cylinder; a coating liquid within the said cylinder; an impervious, removable covering enclosing the exterior of said cylinder, and being separable therefrom by means of a tear strip cooperable with said covering so as to sever it about the ends and length for removal from said cylinder; and handle means having hemispherical ends cooperative with said hemispherical indentations after the said removable covering has been stripped therefrom, for the purpose of rolling said cylinder upon the surface to which the coating liquid is to be applied.
