Patent attributes
A paint roller having multiple reservoirs for holding paint is disclosed. The paint roller includes at least two paint storage reservoirs for storing paint; openings from the reservoirs to an outer surface; and a cylindrical sponge mounted around the outer surface to absorb paint from the paint storage reservoirs and/or an outside source. A handle can be attached to the paint roller, and additional refill reservoirs can be incorporated into the handle to refill the reservoirs within the roller, with integrated valves to regulate the flow of paint. A method of painting with at least three colors using the claimed paint roller is also disclosed, wherein paint is distributed onto the cylindrical sponge simultaneously from the paint storage reservoirs and an outside source.
