Covered lint roller assembly

Abstract

A covered lint roller assembly is disclosed that incorporates a lint roller cover that protects the adhesive element of the present lint roller assembly and wherein the lint roller cover can also be used with other lint roller assemblies that do not have a cover. By protecting normally unprotected adhesive elements, the lint roller cover provides a suitable device that helps maintain the efficacy of the adhesive element of the lint roller assembly.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]Not Applicable.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]This disclosure relates to the field of lint rollers used to remove lint and other debris from cloth surfaces.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]This section provides general background information related to the present disclosure and the background information is not necessarily prior art.[0005]There are a wide variety of various lint rollers that have been developed for removal of lint and generally unwanted debris from a cloth surface. Lint roller assemblies as earlier devised typically comprise a lint roller holder having a mount upon which a lint roller has been installed. These prior art examples usually include a handle portion that extends outwardly from one end of the lint roller holder support such that a user can grasp the handle in order to utilize the lint roller. A lint collector is installed onto the tubular mount ...

Benefits of technology

[0012]In accordance with the various embodiments of the present invention, this invention relates to a covered lint roller assembly having a plastic cover that snaps into place around the sticky roller head of a lint roller assembly designed to work with the cover, and to also provide a cover that can be used to cover the adhesive surfaces of other common lint roller assemblies that do not come equipped with their own lint roller cover. When installed, the cover prevents the adhesive component of the lint roller assembly from coming into contact with unintended objects. Thus, with the cover installed, the lint roller assembly can be placed in a drawer, purse, suitcase, or car without allowing the adhesive component of the lint roller assembly to unintentionally stick to other items that would result in the adhesive tape prematurely losing its tackiness or generally reducing the effectiveness of the adhesive component of the linter roller assembly.
