ABSTRACT:
A paint roller cleaning apparatus comprising a tubular barrel-shaped roller container. The container includes two C-shaped sections. A hinge joins the C-shaped sections along adjacent edges and with the C-shaped sections being relatively movable to one another into open and closed positions for enabling a paint roller to be inserted into the container for cleaning. A motor is retainingly mounted on one end of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container. A roller coupler is located inside of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container and is connected to the motor for driving connection to one end of a paint roller to rotate a paint roller within the tubular barrel-shaped roller container. One of the C-shaped sections has longitudinally spaced notches along its length for receiving a roller handle arm enabling a portion of the arm to be extended from inside the tubular barrel-shaped roller container through any one of the notches exteriorly of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container so that arms of paint rollers of different lengths can be supported in a selected one of the notches. A removable cap is mounted on an opposite end of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container. A tubular water spray bar is fixedly mounted inside of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container for spraying water on an outside surface of a paint roller as it is rotated by the motor. The cap has a fluid outlet for discharge of water from a lower end of the container. Means is fixedly mounted interiorly of the tubular barrel-shaped roller container for supporting an opposite end of a paint roller adjacent to the cap.
