Storage system for a paint-wet paint roller cover

Abstract

A paint roller cover storage system includes a paint roller cover container sized to store a single paint roller cover. A resealable closure selectively closes the paint roller cover container to form a generally airtight environment such that a paint-wet paint roller cover may be stored—such as overnight—until further painting will occur.

1 . A paint roller cover storage system comprising: 
 a paint roller cover container sized to receive a paint roller cover; and    a resealable closure mounted to said paint roller cover container to selectively close said paint roller cover container.    
   
   
       2 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said resealable closure includes a zip-lock closure.  
   
   
       3 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said resealable closure includes an adhesive closure.  
   
   
       4 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said resealable closure provides an essentially air-tight seal of said paint roller container.  
   
   
       5 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said paint cover roller container is an elongated bag.  
   
   
       6 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said elongated bag is manufactured from a clear plastic.  
   
   
       7 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said elongated bag includes a generally circular bottom opposite said resealable closure.  
   
   
       8 . The paint roller cover storage system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said elongated bag is sized to receive only a single paint roller cover.  
   
   
       9 . A paint roller cover kit comprising: 
 a single paint roller cover;    a paint roller cover container sized to completely receive said single paint roller cover; and    a resealable closure mounted to said paint roller cover container to selectively close said paint roller cover container to maintain said single paint roller cover in a substantially air-tight environment.    
   
   
       10 . The paint roller storage system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said paint roller cover container is an elongated bag.  
   
   
       11 . The paint roller storage system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said paint roller cover container is a generally tubular bag.  
   
   
       12 . The paint roller storage system as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said generally tubular bag includes a generally circular bottom opposite said resealable closure.  
   
   
       13 . The paint roller storage system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said paint roller cover container is a generally rectangular shaped bag.  
   
   
       14 . A method of storing a paint-wet paint roller cover comprising the steps of: 
 (1) inserting a paint-wet paint roller cover within a paint roller cover container;    (2) grasping the paint-wet paint roller cover through the paint roller cover container; and    (3) sliding the paint-wet paint roller cover off a roller of a paint roller; and    (4) sealing a resealable closure on the paint roller cover container to form a substantially air-tight environment for the paint-wet paint roller cover.    
   
   
       15 . A method as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said step (4) further comprises 
 (a) zipping closed a zip lock type closure.    
   
   
       16 . A method as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said step (4) further comprises 
 (a) adhering an adhesive flap to the paint roller cover container.    
   
   
       17 . A method as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising the step of: 
 (5) flexing open the resealable closure prior to said step (1) by placing pressure along the length of the zip lock type closure.
