A splatter shield is provided for a conventional paint roller having an offset roller arm integrally connected to a roller shaft, comprising an inner end wall; an outer end wall; and two side walls, all connected so as to have substantially parallel lower edges which define a first plane; a top wall connected to the upper edges of the end walls and side walls so as to define a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane, the inner end wall having an opening therein, the opening communicating with the lower edge of the inner end wall by a cut between the opening and the lower edge of the inner wall, the outer end wall having an aperture for receiving the end of the roller shaft; and an annular shoulder member, fixedly attached to the inner end wall and concentric with the opening, the shoulder member having a plurality of raised ridges, radially spaced about the shoulder member, forming corresponding indentations approximately equal in width to the diameter of the roller arm.

A splatter shield for a conventional paint roller having a roller arm integrally connected to a roller shaft, comprising an inner end wall; an outer end wall; and two side walls, all connected so as to have substantially parallel lower edges which define a first plane; a top wall connected to the upper edges of said end walls and side walls so as to define a second plane substantially parallel to said first plane, said inner end wall having an opening therein, said opening communicating with the lower edge of said inner end wall by means of a cut between said opening and said lower edge of said inner wall, said cut intersecting said opening to form a restriction having a width less than the diameter of said opening, said outer end wall having an aperture alignable with an offset roller shaft; and an annular shoulder member, integrally formed with said inner end wall and concentric with said opening, said shoulder member having a slot, communicating with said cut, and a plurality of flexible adjustment tabs, radially spaced about said shoulder member, the space between any two said adjustment tabs being approximately equal to the diameter of a roller arm, said adjustment tabs extending to a height so as to prevent free radial movement of said shield when said shield is in place on a roller shaft, allowing forced radial adjustment of a roller arm about said opening such that any adjacent pair of said tabs will bracket a roller arm and whereby the shield can be attached to the roller arm by sliding a portion of said arm through the slot and cut and into the opening where it is maintained in position by the said restriction at the point where the slot meets the opening.
