ABSTRACT:
A roller cleaning assembly for cleaning water-soluble paint from a paint roller cover has two major components, namely an enclosure and a spray jet component. The enclosure has a rigid sidewall, preferably of rectangular cross section, open at the bottom to permit free drainage and has a top wall with a central round opening of sufficient diameter to accommodate the roller cover. A u-shaped channel can grip the neck portion of the roller handle. The jet component is biased by a spring-like interference fit in the interior of the enclosure. A jet component has an inlet tube with a female fitting to attach to a source of water, and first and second riser pipes that rise from the inlet tube and which contain jet outlets that are spaced at intervals. The riser pipes direct jets of water and the roller cover to dislodge paint from the nap and to impart a spin to the roller. A bracket can be employed to mount the enclosure on a tank or bucket.
