Apparatus For Cleaning Paint Rollers
View pageUS Patent:
50506269, Sep 24, 1991
Filed:
Jun 27, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/544711
Inventors:

International Classification:
B08B 302
US Classification:

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved cleaner for a paint roller in which the cleaner includes a container with an opening for receiving a paint roller and a groove in the side wall thereof for releasably mounting the frame of the paint roller to the container, whereupon the roller is in a fixed location to be struck by water streams from a manifold within the interior of the body. The manifold is connected to a handle outside the container, and the handle is pivotally mounted so that the manifold can rotate through a limited arc to change the angle of impingement of the water streams from the manifold onto the paint roller to be cleaned. The handle of the container body has a serrated structure for releasably locking the handle to the body with a manifold in any one of a number of positions. Thus, depending upon the diameter of the roller, the angle of the water streams impinging from the manifold onto the roller to be cleaned can be varied so that paint rollers of different diameters can be accommodated with the apparatus of the present invention. In one embodiment of the apparatus, the roller rotates about a vertical axis and in a second embodiment, the roller rotates about a horizontal axis.
