  • Patent number: 5005598
    Abstract: An elongated tubular housing enclosed on both open ends with housing end walls, and lengthwise horizontally disposed in use. Each housing end wall contains a small fluid discharge opening for elimination of fluid and paint residue. A living hinge attached door over an opening is provided in the housing to allow installation of a paint roller brush. A pressurized fluid receiving and fluid distribution system within the housing is affixed with a plurality aimed fluid emission nozzles which can be manually repositioned to rotate a roller brush first in one direction then another direction for improved cleaning. A removable rigid member extending perpendicular to the housing serves as a support brace which prevents rolling of the housing during use. The surface of the rigid member is affixed with a spring clip for securing the handle portion of a paint roller.
