Abstract: A paint roller cover cleaner for cleaning a paint roller cover. The paint roller cover cleaner has one or more nozzles that spray the cover and that may each produce a fan-shaped jet in a plane that is at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the roller cover. The paint roller cover cleaner may also have a clamp for clamping a handle of the paint roller, another nozzle for cleaning an enclosure of the paint roller cover cleaner, a lid for the enclosure that drips within the mouth of the enclosure and does not move laterally across the roller cover to open. A system including a paint roller cover cleaner and a fluid supply that can contain the paint roller cover cleaner is also provided.

Abstract: A paint roller cover cleaner including an enclosure for a roller cover, a high pressure pump and a nozzle supplied with pressurised fluid which directs a jet of fluid at the nap of the roller cover to rotate the roller cover and facilitate cleaning. In one embodiment a carriage moves the nozzle along the length of the roller cover to effect cleaning along the length of the roller cover. In another embodiment a plurality of controllable nozzles are provided at intervals along the length of the roller cover. In another embodiment the nozzle includes an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve which relatively rotate to align apertures in the respective sleeves to produce jets sequentially along the nozzle.
