Abstract:
Embodiments of a method for manufacturing a paint roller support are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a paint roller support comprises placing first and second bearings on an elongated shaft at spaced apart locations such that the bearings are retained against rotational and axial movement relative to the shaft, and placing first and second rotatable hubs on the first and second bearings, respectively, the hubs being configured to rotate relative to the bearings and to each other and having outer surfaces on which a roller cover is placed during use, wherein the first and second hubs are retained on the shaft by the first and second bearings, respectively.
