Abstract: An easy-to-use paint roller cleaning device with multiple cleaning members sized for interfacing with rollers and naps of various sizes while the user holds onto the device along a handle. The cleaning members have an opening encircled by a roller interface wall which squeezes tightly over the nap while its paint-scraping rim removes the paint or other liquid from the roller nap and the paint-guiding wall urges the liquid downward to exit the nap. The paint roll cleaner tool will scrape the entire length of the nap before clearing the tip of the nap farthest from the painting handle. The cleaning structures come in sizes suited for standard and mini rollers with a variety of naps including ¼ inch, ? inch, and ½ inch.

Abstract: A dispensing lid and piston pump for a paint pail is provided. A manually actuatable piston pump is connected to a lid which can then be connected to a conventional paint pail. The pump can be operated to dispense paint or similar viscous products from a manufacturer-supplied container into another container, tray or the like. The base of the intake tube of the piston pump is positioned in close proximity to the interior bottom surface of the pail when the lid is installed on the pail. The lid includes an opening with a removable cover that can be used to return excess paint back to the pail without removing the lid. A paint stirring device rod is inserted through an accessory hole and a blade extending outwardly from the rod at a first end is operatively connected to the lid while the rod's second end extends above the lid.
