ABSTRACT:
An attachment securable to the chuck of a hand-held power drill and adapted to clamp either a paint brush or a paint roller, so as to spin the same for cleaning by centrifugal force. The attachment is made of three separate parts, namely: a jaw unit, a sleeve and a cap nut, the latter provided with a spindle for insertion into the power tool chuck. The jaw unit includes a screw portion threaded within the cap nut and having a cylindrical extension in turn extended by a pair of spring jaws for receiving therebetween and clamping the narrower portion of a paint brush handle adjacent the brush bristles. A sleeve surrounds the arms of the two jaws and its opposite ends engage the cap nut and conical wedging surfaces of the jaw heads. Rotation of the cap nut with respect to the jaw unit causes axial movement of the sleeve which in turn causes retraction of the jaw to clamp the brush handle. The outer surface of the sleeve has paint roller clamping ribs to hold a paint roller around the sleeve. In the second embodiment, the outer end of the sleeve is provided with slits defining deflectable lugs therebetween, which are deflected radially outwardly upon further insertion of the jaw heads within the sleeve, so as to provide additional clamping of the paint brush roller.
