Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cleaning apparatus for paint brushes.
  • a cleaning apparatus for paint brushes is characterised by a container in which at least one cleaning brush or roller is mounted, an opening for inserting a paint brush to be cleaned, and means for rotating the cleaning brush or roller so as to clean a paint brush when inserted through the opening to contact the cleaning brush or roller.
  • an integral electric drive motor is provided for rotating the cleaning brush or roller.
  • a handle may be provided to enable the cleaning brush or roller to be driven by hand and/or a coupling may be provided to enable the brush to be driven by an electric motor.
  • the container is provided with a cover having a slot in it through which a paint brush to be cleaned may be inserted.
  • a cleaning liquid such as turpentine, white spirit or thinners would be present in the container to a level sufficient to immerse the cleaning brush or roller at least partly.
  • the container is provided with a drain point through which contaminated cleaning liquid can be drained when desired.
  • the paint brush is inserted into the nip between these.
  • the container includes a separate compartment, also for holding cleaning liquid, in which paint brushes can soak.
  • FIGURE 1 is a view of a paint brush cleaning apparatus having an integral electric drive motor
  • FIGURE 2 is an exploded view of a modified cleaning apparatus showing its component parts.
  • a paint brush cleaning apparatus which comprises a container 10 having a removable lid 12 which is formed with a transverse slot 14 normally closed by two downwardly inclined flexible shields 16, 17.
  • the container 10 is divided into a main compartment 18 and a smaller compartment 20 by an internal wall 22.
  • a pair of rotary brusires 24, 25 are mounted side by side within the main compartment 18, each brush having its elongate shaft 25, 27 journalled in the opposite side walls of the container 10.
  • Each brush has an array of bristles projecting radially outwards from its shaft 26, 27 and the two brushes co-operate to define a nip between them which is directly below the slot 14 in the lid.
  • a gear wheel 34 is also mounted to the side of the container to mesh with the gear wheel 29 and its drive stem 36 is either directly connected to integral electric motor inside cover 31b ( Figure 1) or it projects through the cover plate 31 to allow the chuck of an electric drill to be connected.
  • a bracket 38 projects from the container and includes a collar 40 for closing around the body of the electric drill when the chuck of this is tightened onto the drive stem 36.
  • cleaning liquid is introduced into the main compartment 18 of the container 10 to a level at least partially immersing the brushes 24, 25.
  • This cleaning liquid may be poured through the slot 14 in the lid 12.
  • a paint brush 48 to be cleaned is inserted through the slot 14 and into the nip between the two cleaning brushes 24, 25. These two brushes are then rotated by the integral electric motor of the apparatus shown in Figure 1 or by hand 32 or by an electric drill in the cases of the apparatus in Figure 2.
  • the cleaning brushes are rotated in opposite directions, the bristles of the two cleaning brushes moving down to the paint brush from its handle towards the free end of its bristles.
  • the container 10 is provided with a drain plug 42 in one of its end walls for draining contaminated cleaning liquid from the main compartment 18.
  • the smaller compartment 20 serves for soaking brushes and in use holds cleaning liquid, the brushes to be soaked being introduced through an aperture 44 in the lid, which aperture is provided with a hinged cover 46.
  • a reaction member is urged e.g. spring loaded towards the single cleaning brush or roller: the paint brush is inserted between the brush or roller and the reaction member and is removed, turned round and re-inserted after one side is cleaned.
