Abstract: An apparatus (10, 300, 400) for cleaning spray guns (18, 418) has a closed vessel (14) having an inlet (24, 424), a drain (22, 422) and a port (29) for receiving a nozzle (30) of a spray gun. A spray impeller (36, 136, 236, 336, 436) is rotatably mounted within the vessel (14) and in fluid communication with the inlet (24, 424). The spray impeller (36, 136, 236, 336, 436) has an offset cleaning nozzle (42, 44, 144, 141, 142, 282, 244, 442, 444) for projecting a cleaning spray towards the port (29) and a rotational nozzle (46, 48, 148, 246, 248, 446, 448) for projecting a rotational spray to effect rotation of the spray impeller (36, 136, 236, 336, 436). The port (29) has a seal (76, 78, 80) for sealing receiving the spray gun (18, 418) and positioning the nozzle (30) of the spray gun in the cleaning spray.

Abstract: A writing implement such as a ballpoint pen combines a mechanism for selectively advancing and retracting a writing tip with a built-in roll of paper which can be dispensed and torn off. The paper roll can be mounted in a disposable cartridge which lessens the curl of the paper, facilitates removal and replacement of the paper roll, and aligns the free end of the paper with the corresponding slot in the barrel of the writing implement so that the free end of the paper need not be threaded through a narrow slot by hand.
