  • Patent number: 5487399
    Abstract: A hollow tubular housing is provided having a freely rotatable support frame for holding a paint roller pad while cleaning. The housing is closed at one end and includes a series of openings down one side. A movable spray-tube is provided on the outside of the housing and includes a series of spray jets which correspond to the openings to spray water into the housing. The movability of the spray tube allows the user to change the direction of the water spray before or during cleaning in order to vary the speed and/or direction of the rotating roller pad inside. A second spray tube having a series of spray-openings therein is fixedly provided as the center shaft of the rotating internal support frame. A closable valve on the outside spray tube allows the user to adjust the flow of water to the sprayers. A specially formed gapped end piece is provided in the support frame to allow water from the inside spray tube to escape.
