  • Patent number: 4641673
    Abstract: Both paint rollers and paint brushes may be cleaned of water base paints within this apparatus which comprises an open ended tubular housing which contains a water manifold which produces a series of water jets which are aligned with the elongated axis of the housing and which impact either the paint roller or the paintbrush in a slightly offset fashion so as to impart a spin thereto. An adjustable clamping means is located on the outside of the housing on the side opposite the location of the water manifold which adapts to a variety of different configurations of paint roller holder rods in order that the paint roller itself may be properly disposed within the interior of the housing such that the axis of the roller aligns with the axis of the housing. The water jets then impact off-center on the pile of the paint roller, washing out the paint, and imparting a spin to the roller which throws off the diluted paint and the wash water.
