Abstract: A connector for a multiple element blind assembly, including: a first coupling element (1) for association with a first blind element, said first coupling element having a body (3) and a projection (11) extending therefrom, said projectio including a keying portion (13); a second coupling element (23) for association with a second blind element, said second coupling element having a body (25) defining a bore (31) therein, which includes a keyway portion (35); wherein said keying portion (13) is insertable into and keys with said keyway to a torque transferring position such that torque applied to one of said coupling elements is transferred to the other coupling element, and wherein said keying portion is only insertable into said keyway to said torque transferring portion when said first and second coupling elements are aligned within a single relative rotational range.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a paint roller having a handle, connecting arm (17) and roller cover (18), the apparatus consisting of a hollow cylindrical housing (1), a water outlet member (10), and a locating clip (6) with three pairs of fingers for resiliently holding the connecting arm (17) of the paint roller in a predetermined position while water under pressure from the water outlet member (10) is directed so as to strike the roller cover (18) such that the roller cover (18) rotates thereby cleaning the paint roller.
