Abstract

A device for scraping paint of paint rollers comprises a 'U' shaped member with the 'U' defined by a pair of prongs which unite at the head of the 'U' to extend away and form a stem and handle. The device comprises a unitary moulding of e.g. plastics material. The handle is hollow and contoured on one side and is provided with ribs on the other. The handle stem and prong arms are of I beam section and strengthening ribs are provided running diagonally each side running diagonally from the inner to the outer edge of the 'U' notch, either side of its centre. The inner, cleaning edge of the 'U' is chamfered to a 'V' section. The stem widens just before it blends into the handle.
