Abstract
It is common practice to clean paint roller pads by submerging the pads in a solvent bath.
Sludge build up in the bath, however, renders this method less than desirable. In addition contact with the solvent can lead to irritating skin rashes. A method and device to alleviate these prob-lems is comprised of a raised grill like base upon which is mounted a plurality of upright posts, each post of a diameter sufficient to form a sliding fit to the bore of a typical roller pad. The base and posts are immersed in a solvent bath and the roller pads transferred to the upright posts and left to soak. Solids particles are dissolved of the pad, fall through the grill structure of the base and accumulate as sludge in the bottom of the bath. Removal of the cleansed pads is accomplished by inserting the working end of a convention pad spinner into the pad bore and pulling the pad off of the upright post. No skin contact with the solvent is necessary.

Description
212097~
-- This invention relates to the field of painting equipment cleaning devices and more particu-larly to a device for cleaning paint roller pads.
The average do-it-yourselfer generally will purchase paint rollers which are low in price and typically considered disposable; but such rollers seldom find much use with the professinn~l painter 05 who oftenwill purchase better quality and higher priced equipment. Thus the professional painter will usually attempt to clean the roller pad after each use.
Current methods of cleaning include immersing the roller pad in a solvent bath, allowing enough time for dissolution of the paint in the solvent, and removal and spin drying of the pad using a conventional pad spinner.
Not ~ul~lisillgly, much inventive ingenuity has been applied to the development of a variety of devices to accomplish pad cleaning and examples of such devices may be found in the patent literature.
For instance, United States patent number 4,263,055 which issued to Permar in April, 1981 discloses a method for cleaning a paint roller pad comprising an elongated exp~ncling coil which 15 fits inside the bore of a roller pad and may be connected at one end to an electric drill. The pad is then rotated in solvent to accomplish cleaning.
United States patent number 4,708,152 which issued to Hibberd in November, 1987 dis-closes a paint roller cleaning apparatus which comprises a "dummy" paint roller mounted verti-cally in a container. The roller pad to be cleaned is inserted over the dummy roller and a plurality 20 of water jets directed tangentially against the surface of the pad, thus rotating the pad and clean-ing the pad at the same time.
The current method of cleaning by simply submerging a batch of roller pads in a solvent 212097~
b~th is undesirable in that sludge and other waste products accumulate in the bottom of the bath over time, and cont~min~te the pads to be cleaned. In addition, the solvents utilized often prove an irritant to the human skin.
The device disclosed in the Permar patent merely provides a means of spinning the roller 05 pad and does little to actually accomplish cleaning of the pad while the Hibberd patent shows a device which is relatively complex and intended for use only with water soluble paints.
All of the cleaning devices heretobefore known suffer, then, from one or more of the follow-ing shortcomings:
a) they are restricted to use with water soluble paints only;
lo b) they are relatively complex, requiring setup time and therefore unlikely to find wide accept-ance within the painting industry;
c) they expose the painters' skin to contact with irritating solvents;
d) they do little to overcome sludge build up problems.
e) they contain moving parts subject to functional failure due to sludge build up.
Several objects of the present invention are:
a) to provide a paint roller pad cleaning apparatus which removes the need for skin contact with solvents;
b~ to provide a paint roller padçle~ning apparatus which requires little or no set up and is simple to use;
c) to provide a paint roller pad cleaning apparatus which is inexpensive to produce and distribute;
and 05 d) to provide a paint roller pad cle~ning apparatus which is free of moving parts and thus delivers a substantially unlimited useful lifespan.
According to one aspect the present invention is an apparatus to facilitate the cleaning of paint roller pads comprising:
means for removably securing a plurality of roller pads in a vertical position upon a horizontal 10 base;
means for maintaining the horizontal base above an arbitrarily determined sludge level within a container; and means for removably inserting the horizontal base, pad securing means and sludge stand off means within a solvent bath so that skin contact with the solvent is avoided.
According to another aspect the present invention is a paint roller pad cleaning device com-prising:
a grill like expanded metal support base having an outer perimeter rigid frame, the frame extend-ing from the base so that the surface of the base is raised slightly above ground level;
212097~
plurality of elongated circular posts permanently affixed to the base in a vertical position and spaced at sllbstzlntially equal intervals in a circular manner upon the upper surface of the base, the posts having an outside diameter sufficient to provide a sliding fit to the inside diameter of a conventional paint roller pad bore and each post of a length appr.-xi~ tely equal to one half the os length of the bore of a conventional paint roller pad; and a generally '~" shaped vertical handle permanently and substantially centrally affixed to the up-per surface of the base, the handle of a length which exceeds the length of a collvenlional paint roller pad.
According to another aspect the present invention is a method of cleaning paint roller pads 10 colll,ulisillg the steps of:
submerging the apparatus defined above in a solvent bath;
transrellillg a plurality of soiled paint roller pads to the upright posts of the apparatus defined above;
providing an appro~liate soaking time of the roller pads within the solvent bath sufficient to 5 accomplish cleaning of the pads; and transrel l ing each roller pad to the working end of a conventional paint roller pad spinner device.
A detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention is provided herein having reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cleaning apparatus inserted into a solvent bath;
~gure 2 is a perspective view of the cleaning apparatus showing the mounting position of a plu-rality of paint roller pads; and Figure 3 is a perspective view of the cleaning apparatus showing the removal of a cleaned roller pad by transference to a conventional pad spinner.
05 Refer to Figures 1. 2 and 3.
The paint roller pad cleaning apparatus of the present invention is comprised of a circular grill like, rigid base structure 10 formed from wire mesh or expanded metal and permanently bounded by an outer annulus 12 of rigid material having uniform wall thickness and extending dowllw~rd from the base 10 such that the annulus 12 forms a pedestal which serves to raise the lo base 10 slightly above ground level.
The overall diameter of the combination of base 10 and annulus 12 is such as to enable the base 10 and annulus 12 to be easily accommodated within the confines of a conventional five gallon pail 18.
A plurality (in practice it has been found that six is the op~ lulll number) of rigid upright 15 circular posts 16 are permanently affixed at regular intervals in a circular pattern and by conven-tional means, such as welding, to the upper surface of the base 10 material. Each post 16 has an outside diameter sufficient to provide a sliding fit to the inside diameter of a typical paint roller pad 20 bore 22 and is of a length appll)xi~ tely equal to half the length of a typical paint roller pad 20 bore 22 such that when a roller pad 20 is transferred to a post 16 by insertion of the roller 20 pad 20 bore æ over the post 16 the pad 20 stands about twice the height of the post 16 above the base 10.
A generally "T" shaped handle 14 is substantially centrally and permanently affixed to the 21~0974 ~per surface of the base 10 by conventional means such as welding and is of a length such as to extend above the height of a roller pad 20 mounted upon a post 16.
In practice the apparatus is placed within a conventional five gallon pail 18 and the pail 18 filled with an appropriate paint solvent to a level above the height of a mounted pad 20 but below 05 the height of the handle 14.
A soiled pad 20 is transferred onto a post 16 by ~ligning the pad 20 bore 22 with the post 16 and pushing the pad 20 onto the post 16 with any applo,~liate and available tool such as a painter's knife.
The apparatus, complete with a plurality of soiled pads 20 is left to soak in the solvent bath 10 18 until such times as the pads 20 are cleaned. Cont~min~nts dissolved in the bath 18 fall through the mesh of the base 10 and settle in the bottom of the bath 18 where they accumulate as sludge.
The base 10 is maintained above the sludge level by virtue of the annulus 12, thus any pads 20 within the bath 18 are above the sludge level and thus exposed only to the cle~n~ing action of the solvent.
lS When clean, the pads 20 are removed from the posts 16 by inserting the gripping end of a conventional paint roller pad spinner 24 into the upper bore 22 opening of the pad 20 and withdrawing the pad 20 from the post 16.
It will be seen that at no time during insertion or removal of a pad 20 is it necessary for the painter's skin to come into contact with the solvent.
As the sludge builds to unacceptable levels, the apparatus is removed from the solvent bath 18 by means of the handle 14 and the bath 18 emptied, cleaned and refilled. Again skin contact with the solvent can easily be avoided.
212~974 From the foregoing description the reader will see that the apparatus and method of the present invention provides significant advantages over the known art in that it more effectively cleans roller pads by eliminzlting contact of the pad with bottom sludge. It addition it is readily apparent that skin contact with irritating solvents may be avoided and that the apparatus is simple os yet effective since there are no moving parts to foul.
The above description should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but rather as merely descriptive of a presently preferred embodiment. Many aspects of the present invention may be changed without departure from the spirit of the invention and thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
