Transparent combination package for cleaning, spin drying, displaying and storing a paint roller

A device which serves as an apparatus for cleaning and spin drying various types of paint rollers in common use without removing a paint roller from a handle, and which also serves as a container for displaying and storing said device with a paint roller and handle comprising:

• a wand means for delivering a jet of solvent at 90 degrees to said wand axis for deep cleaning and for inducing roller spin, wherein said wand consists of an elongated tubular element with connecting means to a standard hand control valve for an operator to hold, control, and deliver solvent under pressure into said elongated tubular element, wherein a terminal end of said tubular element is sealed off and perforated a short distance from said terminal end with a spray orifice penetrating perpendicularly to form a fluid communication between a hollow center of said tubular element and an outer surface;
• a container means for displaying and storing both said spray wand and a paint roller, and for containing a cleaning and spin drying process to protect an operator and a cleaning area from solvent and paint residue splatters, wherein said container means is formed as a single unit from clear plastic material, with front and back sides which are hinged, book like, in such a fashion as to constitute said container when closed, said container possessing four major features:
• transparency, handle indexing channels, a roller chamber, and a spray wand channel;
• said container being constructed of sturdy, light, transparent plastic, permitting its contents to be fully visible whether being displayed for sale or being subject to a cleaning/drying process;
• said handle indexing channels serving to affix a paint roller handle firmly so that its attached roller is held inside said roller chamber in such a fashion that a roller is free to spin without its fibers touching an inside surface of said roller chamber;
• said spray wand channel being aligned alongside said roller chamber with a range of open radial communication along the full length of said roller chamber sufficient to allow the direction of a high velocity jet of solvent by means of said spray wand into said roller chamber along the full length of the roller chamber and at angles ranging from directly into the roller pile for deep penetration and minimum rotation of the roller to angles incident to the roller surface such as to achieve the high spin velocity required for the spin drying process.
