Abstract

The roller cleaning apparatus consists of a cylindrical housing with a flat floor which supports a clamp that grips the spindle of the roller. The handle of the roller projects radially out of the cylindrical housing. An electric motor is mounted on the cover with projecting lugs which grip the roller circumference. Water is supplied through the tap to the spray tube which sprays it onto the surface of the roller which is made to rotate by the motor. When all the paint has been removed the water is turned off and the motor speed increased to remove the water by the centrifugal force.

Description

Device for cleaning and drying of paint rollers

The invention relates to provisions for cleaning and drying dirty paint rollers that are used in painting businesses

In a known device of this type, a container is provided, over which the paint roller is held by hand, with Water is sprayed by means of a hose. Here the role of color is set, but cannot be used again immediately, because it is not dry

The object of the invention is therefore, based on the known device, a device for cleaning and drying paint rollers to create, in which the cleaning is done with several jets of water and the role of a motor in a rotary motion is moved, (even with difficult rolls; and the dissolved paint is thrown out.

When drying, it is the task of the roll, (after closing the Faucet), with a motor running at high speed to dry slut.

The invention is illustrated below on the basis of visual drawings an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of the device with the handle a paint roller.

Fi.jur Z shows the top view with the handle of a paint roller.

Figure 3 shows a section through the device with a paint roller.

Figure '- * shows a section with the relief device

To the device Fi whored according _fc -ur 1 and 2, a case (i), which "serves as a splash guard and as Basia for the further development in the lower part of the housing check is the bottom (" 2 ") of a receiving device - (. 3) carries for a paint roller. In this pick-up device (3), a paint roller (k) is placed upright, as shown in FIG. J tjeaeijt. The handle of the roller is surrounded by elastic sealing strips (5) «Now the cover (6) with the motor (?) Located on it» on which a driver wing (8) is bafestijt / »is lowered from above until the roller has centered itself in the driver wing (8). Since the weight of the cover with motor is too high and would damage the paint roller, a relief device is attached, as shown in FIG. 4. Dia; .- e relief device consists of a guide tube (9) »An axle tube (io) and a compression spring (11) · The release mechanism creates the equilibrium when the driver wing (8) touches the paint roller (4) ·

With light pressure by hand on a handle (12), the lid with the motor is pressed down onto the paint roller, the motor becomes switched on and thus set the roller in a rotating motion. Now he tfasser shut-off valve (13) is opened and the water emerges from a flushing pipe (i4) and sprays onto the rotating one Paint roller. The adhering paint liquefies and is thrown out by the rotating movement. Then will the faucet is closed and the roll - * is turned on at high speed troeken «-esehleudert.

Thus, the color roller can be used again after a few seconds, or is the time required to complete these roles many times over less cleaning by hand and makes for one Painting company a high economic rationing effect
