ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning paint rollers (12) while part of an assembly (17) including a paint roller (12) on a roller holder (14) on a holder shaft (15) which has a handle (16). The device consists of a spray shield (26) which when detachably attached to a liquid manifold (24) houses a paint roller (12) to be cleaned. The liquid one piece manifold (24) has one or more integral slots (28) positioned parallel to the long dimension of the manifold (24) and the attached spray shield (26). The slots (28) receive the holder shaft (15) of the paint roller assembly (17). The liquid manifold (24) is fitted with a recessed (19) liquid inlet connector (18) for the induction of liquid into the manifold (24) for conveyance to a multitude of apertures which produce spray jets (20). The spray jets (20) impinge upon the full length of the paint roller (12). The spray jets (20) are positioned to pivotly force the holder shaft (15) into the shaft slot (28) for secure retention without additional attachment. The spray jets (20) are also positioned to cause rotation of the paint roller (12) which is cleaned by the washing of the liquid and the centrifugal forces of the rotation. The spray jets (20) are aerated (22) to reduce liquid splash. The spray shield (26) can be easily detaced from and wrapped around the liquid manifold (24) for storage or packaging.
