Abstract:
An adapter for cleaning paint rollers comprising:a substantially longitudinal handle with a first end and a second end;a first rod extending from said first end of said substantially longitudinal handle, the first rod being of a smaller girth than said handle;an annular taper intermediate to the first end of said handle and said first rod, thus creating a ramped portion between same;a second rod extending from said second end of said substantially longitudinal handle, the second rod being of a smaller girth than said handle; andan annular step taper intermediate to said second end of said handle and said second rod, thus creating a gradual increase in diameter along the taper from said second rod toward said handle, the taper at said second end of said handle being of a smaller diameter than the girth of said second end of said handle, whereby the first rod is inserted into a paint roller spinner, the annular taper providing transition of contact with the spinner from the first rod to the handle, thereby securing the handle in the spinner with the second rod extending there from, the second rod receiving a mini-roller with the step taper providing releasable attachment thereto.
