Apparatuses for cleaning paint rollers through plural sprays which turn and clean supported rollers

摘要

An apparatus for cleaning paint rollers through plural sprays which turn and clean supported rollers comprising a container in a cylindrical configuration extending vertically from the bottom wall to the top. The container also includes a lid positionable over the top. The bottom wall is of a conical configuration to allow the flow of fluid from the container. The container also includes legs to support the container in its vertical orientation. A support mechanism is vertically positioned in the center of the container and is adapted to receive the interior surface of a paint roller to be cleaned. A manifold assembly includes a vertically extending first manifold and support mechanisms with radially extending apertures therethrough. A pair of exterior vertically extending manifolds are provided. They are located parallel with the first manifold and adjacent to the interior faces of the side walls to define the space between the exterior manifolds for the receipt of the roller to be cleaned. The exterior manifolds have radially extending apertures to effect the spray of water to the exterior surface of the roller to be cleaned offset from its center. A horizontal coupling manifold is connected to the lower ends of the vertical manifolds with a region thereof extending through the container for selective coupling to a hose.
