ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus whereby a paint roller can quickly be cleaned, fluffed, and rendered damp-dry with the operator and cleaning area completely shielded from the splatter of solvent and paint. The washing and spin drying actions are produced by a high velocity single jet of water or other solvent delivered through a hand-held spray wand within the confines of a hand-held, tapered cylindrical enclosure.
The enclosure is open at the top for insertion of both the paint laden roller and the spray wand, and for visual access into the cleaning process. It's in-rolled upper rim eliminates egress of random splatter. It's open bottom affords rapid exhaust, and being tapered throughout, permits enclosure elements to be nested for efficient quantity packaging. The detachable handle, when affixed to the enclosure and properly adjusted, accommodates nearly any paint roller handle design. The enclosure handle mates with a segment of the paint roller handle in such a way that the two can be held as a single unit in the operator's hand of choice leaving the other hand free to manipulate the spray wand.
