straight projections 120 are less desirable than the circular and semicircular holds of fig2 they still enable a user to properly position the handle portion 70 between the arms 22 fig1 without contacting the arms with his or her hand thus regardless of which gripping means is used the user 39 s hands are protected against damage by the arms 22 fig1 in fig4 there is shown another embodiment of the present invention instead of a handle portion as shown at 70 in fig2 the adaptation means includes a generally hollow cylinder 120 having a diameter similar to that of a conventional roller an opening 124 at one end of the cylinder 120 allows the cylinder to be slid onto the arms 22 fig1 of the paint brush spinner 4 fig1 in the manner described regarding fig1 typically the cylinder 120 will be made of metal or a durable composite such as pvc as with the embodiment discussed regarding fig2 and 3 an elongate shaft 128 extends coaxially from the cylinder 120 those skilled in the art will recognize numerous methods for attaching the shaft 128 to the cylinder 120 such as adhesives welding or a nut bolt combination the shaft 128 has a tapered section 130 which contains diamond knurl 132 to provide adequate friction between the shaft and a mini roller 138 as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art because the cylinder 120 mounts about the outsides of the arms 22 fig1 of the paint brush spinner 4 fig1 the need for gripping means such as those at 84 in fig2 and 3 is reduced however gripping means could easily be added if desired when the cylinder 120 is mounted on the paint brush spinner.
