Abstract
A storage container for a paint roller sleeve which includes a flexible, resilient tubular housing and a cap which can be snap-fitted thereon for removably storing the sleeve therein. Sealed on one end, the housing defines a reservoir for holding excess paint. Distal from the sealed end, the housing terminates in a built-in funnel for ease of insertion of the sleeve. The sides of the tubular housing include at least one section that is easily collapsible inwardly and can be pressed against the stored sleeve when the user grasps the housing. This collapsible section in the sidewalls of the housing has teeth-like projections, which allow the user to engage and hold the sleeve in such a way that it can be pulled free from the roller without hand contact. When a painter is taking a break or through for the day, he can place the sleeve in the housing and close the cap. He can then come back and finish the work the following hour, day or year without any need to clean the sleeve. A sandblasted area on the exterior wall of the housing can be used to indicate the color and type of paint.
Description
- During a standard workday a painter may use one or more paint roller sleeves. Further, in many jobs more than one coat of paint is required. Moreover, if the job is not finished prior to a lunch break or at the end of the workday, the sleeve must be cleaned or discarded. There is a need for a device in which a freshly used, yet to be cleaned paint roller sleeve can be stored overnight, ready for reuse the next day.
- The object of this invention is to provide a container for a just used paint roller sleeve in which it can be stored and kept in such a condition that be used again immediately, for the same color paint, without first being cleaned. An additional object of this invention is to provide means for removing a wet paint sleeve from the roller without the painter's hand, whether gloved or otherwise, coming into direct contact with the sleeve.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an improved storage container which comprises a generally cylindrical tubular structure having a thin wall made of a flexible, resilient plastic and at least one pleated wall section joined thereto. Formed of a hinged-type plastic, the pleated wall section can be pressed inwardly by hand. When the pleated wall section is so pressed, teeth-like projections on its inside surface are brought into contact with any paint roller sleeve housed temporarily within the storage container and can be used to grip the sleeve firmly.
- Means for keeping the paint roller sleeve from resting on the bottom surface of the container preferably includes a standoff. The height of the standoff determines the depth of the reservoir defined by the container for receiving excess paint, which drains from the sleeve during storage.
- The upper portion of the tubular structure terminates upwardly in an opening for receiving the sleeve and preferably tapers outwardly, forming a funnel to facilitate insertion of the sleeve into the container and to capture any paint dripping from the sleeve which might otherwise drip outside the container during the insertion process.
- Longitudinal ribs which extend inwardly from the inner walls of the tubular structure help to center the sleeve within the container and keep the sleeve, regardless of thickness of its nap, from rattling around in the container The ribs are rounded off at proximate with the opening in the tubular structure so as to help guide the sleeve into the container.
- In a typical use, the just used sleeve while still on the roller is inserted into the storage container. Next the user grasps the sides of the container and presses the pleated wall section inwardly, in such a way that its teeth-like projections engage the roller with sufficient force to hold it while the roller is being slipped out of the sleeve. The container is then closed with a snap-on cap or the like, forming an airtight closure, which keeps the paint from drying on the sleeve, even after a long storage. To reuse the sleeve, the cap is removed; and the roller is inserted into the sleeve. The user is ready to proceed with the paint work.
- The cap is preferably attached to the outer walls of the container by a strap which has sufficient length that when the cap is in the closed position, a loop is formed in the strap that can be used for hanging the storage container.
- Further, there is provided a section on the outer walls of the container for identification of the paint residual on the sleeve stored therewithin.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken along lines 5-5 ofFIG. 4B showing the teeth-like projections of the opposing collapsible wall which when squeezed together, press the teeth-like projections against the sleeve, gripping it; the sleeve being shown in dashed lines and forming no part of the claimed invention. - Referring to the drawings, a
storage container 10 for apaint roller sleeve 50 includes a flexible, resilient, generallycylindrical housing 11 for removably storing thesleeve 50 therein. Sealed on itslower end 12, thehousing 11 defines an upper opening 13, which is surrounded by arim 16atop sidewall 14. Terminating with therim 16, thesidewall 14 tapers outwardly to form a funnel that aids in the insertion of thesleeve 50 while it is mounted on thepaint roller 51 and keeps paint from dripping outside thecontainer 10. - In the preferred embodiment, a
cap 15 snap-fits on therim 16 to provide an airtight seal. Attached to thecap 15 and to thehousing 11 is astrap 23. When thecontainer 10 is closed, the cap-retainingstrap 23 is long enough to form a loop that can be used for hanging thecontainer 10 on a pegboard or equivalent for display (FIGS. 2and 3). - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thecontainer 10 preferably includes astandoff 18 disposed within thehousing 11 proximate with itslower end 12. Formed in the shape of a star or similar structure, thestandoff 18 keeps thesleeve 50 from resting on thebottom 12 of thecontainer 10 and defines at least onepocket 28. Thepocket 28 fluidly communicates with a reservoir defined by thelower end 12 for capturing any excess paint which drains from thesleeve 50 during storage. - Near the mid-section of the
housing 11, at least onepleated wall section 19 made from a hinge-type plastic includes an array of ridges andgrooves 20. In the preferred embodiment, two pleatedwall sections 19 are disposed on opposing sides of the housing 11 (FIGS. 1-3 ). The ridges andgrooves 20 move inwardly when theopposing wall sections 19 are gripped by the user and squeezed together firmly. Together the ridges andgrooves 20 form a series of teeth-like projections 21 which hold thesleeve 50 in place while the sleeve is being stripped off of theroller 51. In use, a painter simply holds the handle of theroller 51 with one hand and while gripping thewall sections 19 so as to press them against the sleeve as it is being held within thecontainer 10, pulls the sleeve off of the roller. Thus thesleeve 50, once inserted into thecontainer 10, can be removed from theroller 51 without soiling the painter's hands. - Means for centering the
sleeve 50 in thehousing 11 includes a plurality oflongitudinal ribs 26, which protrude inwardly from the inner surface of sidewall 17 (FIGS. 2 and 3 ). Theribs 26 also facilitate the extraction of thesleeve 50 from theroller 51 when thepleated wall section 19 is pressed. - In the preferred embodiment, an
identification patch 31 made by sandblasting a portion of the outer surface of thesidewall 17 is provided for the painter's convenience. - So that the
open cap 15 can be held out of the way; thestrap 23 defines a pair of notches (not shown); and a latch (not shown) is attached to thesidewall 17. When a portion of thestrap 23 defining the notches is snap-fitted into the latch, thecap 15 is held againstsurface 17. - The
container 10 measures, by way of example, about 9¾ inches in length and has inner diameters of about 2⅞ inches and 3 7/16 inches proximate with the closedend 12 andrim 16, respectively. A suitable wall thickness for thesidewalls pleated wall section 19 preferably is about 2 inch wide and 4½ inches long. The cap-retainingstrap 23 is preferably 2½ inches long so that a loop of about ½ inch is formed when thecap 15 is closed. The loop so formed can be used to hang thecontainer 10 from a pegboard. - While the above describes the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is possible that other embodiments thereof may be made by those skilled in the art that fall within the scope of the following claims.
