Paint roller cleaner and dryer

摘要

A paint roller structure is provided comprising an elongated handle including first and second ends. A roller support frame is supported from one end of the handle and projects outwardly therefrom. An outer portion of the frame is laterally offset to one side of the handle and terminates outwardly in an end portion projecting toward and extending outwardly beyond the other side of the handle. The end portion of the frame has a paint roller journaled thereon and the handle includes water conduit structure extending therealong having a first end remote from the end of the handle from which the frame is supported adapted for communication with a source of water under pressure and a second end opening outwardly of the end of the handle from which the frame is supported and along a path extending along a chord of the roller. The second end of the water conduit structure tapers in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation of the roller and flares in a direction generally paralleling the roller axis whereby a fan-shaped stream of water may be discharged from the second end of the water conduit structure in a plane paralleling the axis of rotation of the roller and with the fan-shaped discharge of water contacting the roller throughout its entire length.
