Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a device to clean painting rollers from a paint.
  • Such rollers are a piece of equipment used to paint different surfaces.
  • the roller is used to pick up a suitable quantity of a paint from a container and next to cover with this paint - by means of the roller rotation - surfaces intended to be painted. After painting, not to let the paint to dry out, the rollers are directly cleaned in manual way by means of squeezing and twisting off the outer, paint absorbing coating under a stream of warm water. Due to a direct contact of a person with a paint and frequent application of cold water, the cleaning is unpleasant and toilsome process.
  • Different kinds of open-work or solid plates with convexities are known, e.g. according to the patent application no PL-A-311 199, the plates are assigned to scrap an excessive amount of paint to uniformly distribute a suitable quantity of a paint on the roller before painting process of an intended surface.
  • a device for cleaning paint rollers comprising a blade member which is secured to a handle such that it lies in a central plane of the handle is known from DE-U-9 300 198, GB-A-2 270 464 , FR-A-2 147 406 and US-A-5 546 625.
  • the aim of the invention is to design a device which could facilitate the cleaning of the painting rollers from a paint to reach high efficiency of cleaning with limited water waste.
  • fig. 1 represents the device in a partial, vertical section
  • fig. 2 magnified lower part of the device in separated position, in a partial vertical section
  • fig. 3 lower part of the device in top view
  • fig. 4 scraping segment of the device in top view
  • fig. 5 the device with the painting roller and the cleaning device in working position, in a perspective top view.
  • the device consists of exchangeable scraping segments 2 and brush 3 fixed to the handle 1 .
  • the handle 1 is produced of steel rod of oval cross-section.
  • a grip 4 In the upper part of the handle, on its straight or bent part there is placed a grip 4 .
  • the bent tip is ended with quadrangular pivot 5 , in which, on the side there is a seat 6 for the screw 7 which fix the segment.
  • a threaded hole 8 for screw 9 used to fix the brush 3 on the other side of the segment near to the bent area in the handle.
  • the segments 2 have on the inner side arc-shaped surfaces 10 , adjusted to a diameter of the painting roller.
  • the recess 11 is assigned to clean the handle rod, and recess 12 to clean a small roller, frequently used by professional painters.
  • the arc-shaped inner surfaces have on both sides chamfers 13 of the front edges, facilitating guiding of the device and removing of a paint during the roller cleaning process due to decreasing of the friction.
  • the front edges of the recesses 11 and 12 also have the chamfers 14 and 15 .
  • the segment 2 has a seat 16 of quadrangular cross-section, adjusted to shape of a handle pivot. The best vertical bending angle for the seat is from 10° to 20°. It assures proper position of the handle 1 with relation to the segment and facilitates manipulation of the device during the roller cleaning process. From the side, in the middle of the seat 16 , there is a threaded hole 17 connected to the seat, for the screw 7 , which fix the segment to the handle.
  • the segment 2 is an art of a ring, or profitably semi-ring and it is made of plastic or metal.
  • the segment can be fixed to the handle in separable way by means of a simple screw connection, or other known connection solutions.
  • the handle and the segment are connected in separable way.
  • Several exchangeable segments, adjusted to the diameters of painting rollers frequently used by professional painters are included into the set of the device.
  • the scraping segment with inner diameter should be more or less equal to the outer diameter of the stiff part of the roller, where in most cases there is a coating made of textile fibres material which absorbs liquids.
  • a precise cleaning of the roller is performed by a fast, hand made and back-and-forward movements along the roller, as it is shown in fig. 5. It can be done for example in a wash-bowl, under the stream of cold water.
  • the side surfaces of the roller are cleaned by means of the brush 3 , placed on the opposite side of the scraping segment, the handle rod is cleaned by means of putting it in smaller recess 11 of the segment.
  • a brush is used to clean the elements of painters equipment which are hard to reach.
  • the device eliminates usage of warm water during the cleaning process and simultaneously decreases usage of cold water with comparison to the traditional method which is based on manual cleaning by means of squeezing and twisting off the outer, paint absorbing coating under a stream of warm and/or cold water.
