Abstract
Abstract In a tool for cleaning paint brushes and rollers, manual work is applied in order to spin the paint brush or roller, allowing centrifugal force to clean and dry them. In this invention the spiral spindle and handle assembly used for manual operation is replaced by a shaft which can be inserted into an electrical hand drill. This improvement allows the drill to power the cleaning tool, which in turn cleans the brushes and rollers faster and better.
Description
Abstract In a tool ~or cleanillg paint bru~hes and rollers, manual work is applied in order to spin the paint brush or roller, allowing centrifu~al force to clean and dry them. In this invention, the spiral spindle and handle assembly used for manual operation is replace~ by a shaft which can be inserted into an electrical hand drill. This improvement allows the drill to power the cleaning tool, which in turn cleans the brushes and rollers fastex and better, Speci~ication This invention relates to an electrical hand drill operable tool used for cleaning paint hrushes and rollers.
It is common in paint brush and roller cleaning tools to use manual power to spin the cleaning tool. Spinning of the cleaniny tool is obtained through a pumping action of the handle along the spiral spindle. This means of propulsion has two setbacks:
1. ~he tool has a limited life span due to the wear on the bearings within the handle.
It is common in paint brush and roller cleaning tools to use manual power to spin the cleaning tool. Spinning of the cleaniny tool is obtained through a pumping action of the handle along the spiral spindle. This means of propulsion has two setbacks:
1. ~he tool has a limited life span due to the wear on the bearings within the handle.
2. Manual power offers low angulax velocity of the cleaning tool, therefore lowering the quality of cleanliness of the paint brush and roller acted upon.
This invention overcomes the above disadvantages by replacing the spiral spindle and handle assemly with a shaft, This shaft allows the tool ~o he inse~ted into an electrical hand drill, This insertion eliminates the complexity o~ the spiral ~pindle and handle assem~ly, and obtains a ~leaner paint brush and roller due to the increase in angular velocity o~ the cleaning tool which is induced by ~he electrical hand drill.
: -~æ~ 3 Speci~ication (con'k) In drawings which illustrate emhodiment3 of the lnven~ion, Figure 1 is a pro~i].e o~ the cleaning tool, Figure 2 is a cross-section of the cleaning tool, Figure 3 is a top view of the embodiment, Figure ~ i5 an illustration of the flexible, plastic, brush handle holder, Figure 5 is a section of the line I-I' of Figure 1, Figure 6 depicts the attachement of the paint roller onto the clean-in~ tool, while Figure 7 demonstrates the insertion o the paint brush into the tool. Figure 6 and Figure 7 illu~trate how the roller A, and brush B
are attached to the cleaning tool during a cleaning process.
The tool illustrated consists of a cylindrical holder 1, which is a plastic cast. This cylindrical holder is the basic body of the 40 tool, and consists o an interior cross section that is suitable for the entrapmen~ of a paint brush handle. The outside of the cylindri-cal holder consists of a circular cross section, with two opposingly protruding sunners 2. The runners 2, allow a tight fit between the tool and a paint roller, pre~enting seperation between the two while the tool is spinning during a cleaning process. The cap 3, is glued onto t:he he cylindrical holder 1, and i~s fun~tion is t~ retain the brush handle holder S in place. The shaf~ 4, is molded into the cylindrical holder 1. The flexible, plastic, brush handle holder 5, consist~ of a star shaped hole, creating a tight it when the bxush 50 is inserted into the tool during a cleanlng process~
