Description
- This application claims the benefit of the filing date of and priority to: U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/375,022 entitled “Storage Apparatus for Paint Roller” and filed Aug. 18, 2010, Confirmation No. 7554; said provisional application being incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes.
- Not Applicable.
- The present invention relates generally to a storage apparatus for paint rollers.
- When utilizing a roller to apply paint, it has been necessary to clean the roller cover when the painting operation is to be interrupted for a substantial period of time, e.g., from the end of one working day to the start of the next working day. If the roller cover is not cleaned, paint on the roller cover will harden which often necessitates the disposal of the roller cover when the painting operation is to resume. Even though a roller cover is cleaned after use, it is often very difficult to remove all the paint from the roller cover, and that remaining paint will harden and make the roller cover difficult to use when the painting operation resumes. Therefore, there exists a need for a paint roller storage system that will permit storage of the paint roller while wet paint is still on the roller.
- In one embodiment of the present disclosure there is described a paint roller storage system comprising: a receptacle for receiving a paint roller cover having a roller diameter, the receptacle comprising a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, an internal cylindrical space having sidewalls defining a cylindrical inner diameter between the top end and bottom end, the inner diameter being at least the same or greater than the roller diameter, a floor at the bottom end enclosing the cylindrical sidewalls, and an open mouth at the top end; and a cap capable of attaching over the mouth end of the cylinder when the paint roller is received within the receptacle. The mouth of the cylindrical space may further comprise a flared section, the flared section having a narrow end that joins with the cylinder upper end and has substantially the same diameter as the cylinder diameter, and a wider section extending axially above the narrow section to create a flared mouth opening having a larger diameter than the cylinder diameter; and wherein the cap is capable of attaching over the flared mouth opening. The mouth of the cylindrical space may further comprise a paint collection reservoir. In one embodiment, the outside surface of the receptacle is substantially cylindrical.
- Another embodiment pertains to a paint roller storage system comprising: a receptacle for receiving a paint roller cover having a roller diameter, the receptacle comprising: a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, an internal cylindrical space having sidewalls defining a cylindrical inner diameter between the top end and bottom end, the inner diameter being at least the same or greater than the roller diameter, a floor at the bottom end enclosing the cylindrical sidewalls, an open mouth at the top end; and a flared section having a narrow end that joins with the cylinder upper end and has substantially the same diameter as the cylinder diameter, and a wider section extending axially above the narrow section to create a flared mouth opening having a larger diameter than the cylinder diameter. This embodiment may further comprise a cap having an outer diameter capable of attaching over the flared mouth opening when the paint roller is received within the receptacle.
- The cap may further comprise a slot extending from the cap outer diameter to the center of the cap, the slot being of a width to accommodate the width of a paint roller handle that may be attached to the paint roller cover to permit storage of the paint roller cover while still attached to the paint roller handle. In another embodiment, the cap may also further comprise a slit or fenestration extending from the cap outer diameter to the center of the cap, the slit or fenestration capable of being spread apart to accommodate the width of a paint roller handle that may be attached to the paint roller cover to permit storage of the paint roller cover while still attached to the paint roller handle.

- The above general description and the following detailed description are merely illustrative of the subject invention and additional modes, advantages and particulars of this invention will be readily suggested to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
- In accordance with the present invention,
storage apparatus 10 is provided in which theroller cover 21 ofpaint roller 20 may be stored while wet paint (not shown) is still on the roller cover and without removing the roller cover from the remainder of the roller apparatus (rollercover mount frame 25, handle 22). With reference toFIGS. 1A , 1B and 3,storage apparatus 10 in accordance with the present invention comprises acylindrical receptacle 11 section which may be fabricated from plastic or metal and which is flared at its top as illustrated inFIGS. 1A , 1B and 3. Theroller cover 21 may be received in theflared top portion 12 of thecylindrical receptacle 11, since thediameter 12 c of theflared top portion 12 at its mouth or opening 12 a is greater than theoutside diameter 21 g ofroller cover 21. Thediameter 11 c ofcylindrical receptacle 11 below theflared top portion 12 is slightly less than theoutside diameter 21 g ofroller cover 21, which causes the paint (not shown) onroller cover 21 to be directed toward the top ofcylindrical receptacle 11, when theroller cover 21 is pushed into and fully inserted into thecylindrical receptacle 11. That paint may then be poured back into the paint can of origin. - As will be understood, a
typical paint roller 20 comprises ahandle section 22 rotatably attached to a rollercover mount frame 25. A paint roller cover 21 (typically of a cylindrical structure), is typically mounted on the rollercover mount frame 25 by inserting themount frame 25 into the internal diameter of theroller cover 21. Atypical roller cover 21 thereby comprises the following basic structure: acylindrical tube section 21 having a rollercover top edge 21 a, rollercover bottom edge 21 b, and alength 21 h defined as the distance between the roller cover top andbottom edges surface 21 c (defining roller coverouter diameter 21 g) and aninner edge 21 d (defining roller coverinner diameter 21 f). The distance between the roller cover inner and outer edges is generally defined as thenap 21 e of the roller—the soft part of the roller that receives paint on its outer edge/surface 21 c and then contacts the surface to be painted to spread out the paint onto the surface. - The
storage apparatus 10 is generally cylindrical in one embodiment, comprising acylindrical receptacle section 11 for receiving the roller cover. The outer surface of thestorage apparatus 10 is preferably cylindrical, but can be other shapes as well, such as, for example, square or rectangular. The cylindrical receptacle section hascylinder side walls 11 a (definingcylinder diameter 11 c), acylinder floor 11 b and an overallcylinder section height 11 d. In a preferred embodiment, thecylinder diameter 11 c is slightly larger than the roller inner diameter to permit compression of thenap 21 e when theroller 21 is received into thecylinder section 11. In another embodiment, the cylinder diameter is approximately the same as the roller coverouter diameter 21 g. - At the top of the cylinder receptacle section is preferably a flared
section 12. At thelower edge 12 b of the flaredsection 12, the diameter of the flared section is about equal with thediameter 11 c of thecylinder section 11. At the top end ormouth 12 a of the flaredsection 12, theflare diameter 12 c is greater than thecylinder diameter 11 c. The overall height of the flaredsection 12 defines aheadspace 14 or paint collection reservoir. In one embodiment, theheadspace 14 is sized to permit collection of paint that is extruded or squeezed off of theroller cover 21 as theroller cover 21 enters thecylinder section 11. Although the flared section is shown as a generally frusto-conical shape, which can help guide the roller cover into thereceptacle section 11, other configurations could be employed at the top end of thecylindrical section 11, such as another ring-shaped cylindrical section (not shown) with larger diameter than thecylindrical section 11 thereby creating a paint collection reservoir. - The top edge of the flared
section 12 may also comprise alip 13. Thelip 13 may be configured to mate withcaps - The
storage apparatus 10 has anoverall height 10 a. Theheight 10 a is designed to accommodate the desiredroller length 21 h. In one embodiment, the apparatus height is equal to theroller length 21 h. In another embodiment, the apparatus height is equal to or greater than theroller length 21 h. In yet another embodiment, thecylinder section height 11 d is equal to thelength 21 h of theroller cover 21. In another embodiment, thecylinder section height 11 d is greater than or equal to thelength 21 h of theroller 21. - With reference to
