0014] In practice, the spiral winding of the individual strips around the core prevents the strips from unwinding during use of the adhesive roller with an elong

Problems solved by technology

After extended use of the cleaner, the exposed portion of the adhesive loses its tackiness and thus its ability to effectively remove dirt, pet hair and the like.
One disadvantage of these previously-known adhesive rollers for use with cleaners, however, is that the free edge of the continuous strip, i.e. the edge where the previously-used layer has been removed, frequently adhesively sticks more than desired to the s

Example

[0021] With reference first to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the adhesive roller 10 of the present invention is shown when used with a cleaner 12. In the conventional fashion, the cleaner 12 includes an elongated handle 14 and in which the adhesive roller 10 is transversely rotatably mounted to one end 16 of the handle 14. In use, a user 18 grasps the opposite end 20 of the handle 14 and rolls the roller 10 along the ground to remove dirt, pet hair, detritus and other debris from the surface 22 to be cleaned.

[0022] With reference now to FIGS. 2 and 4, the adhesive roller 10 is there shown in greater detail and comprises a tubular and cylindrical core 24 having a pre-determined outer peripheral surface area. The core 24 is preferably constructed of cardboard although other materials may alternatively be used. Additionally, the roller 10 is at least six inches in axial length, and preferably eight inches or more.

[0023] With reference now to FIGS. 3 and 5, the adhesive roller furth...

Abstract

An adhesive cleaner having an adhesive roller with a tubular and cylindrical core, typically made of cardboard and is six inches or more in length. The roller further includes a plurality of elongated strips wherein each strip includes a backing and an adhesive coating on one side of the backing. Each strip is in the shape of a parallelogram and has a surface area substantially equal to or slightly greater than the outer peripheral surface area of the core. Each strip is successively wound in a spiral pattern around the core with the adhesive layer facing outwardly so that each strip forms a successive layer around the core which substantially covers the outer peripheral area of the core or the preceding layer.

Description

[0001] I. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates generally to adhesive rollers.[0003] II. Description of Related Art[0004] Adhesive rollers for use with cleaners for removing foreign particles, such as dirt, pet hair, detritus and the like, from surfaces have been long known. Oftentimes the roll is used with a floor sweep which includes an elongated handle with the adhesive roller rotatably and transversely mounted to one end.[0005] The adhesive roller used with these previously-known handle mounted typically comprises a tubular and cylindrical cardboard core. An elongated strip having a backing and an adhesive coating applied to one side of the backing is then continuously wound around the core thus forming a plurality of overlapping layers of the backing with its adhesive coating.[0006] In use, the cleaner is used by rolling the adhesive roller along the surface to be cleaned with the adhesive coating facing outwardly. In doing so, the adhesive coating removes ...
