Abstract

"In a tool for removing liquid from paint brushes and rollers, it is known to have a plunger with a tight fitting spring at one end and a cylindrcal cone shape groove in the other end.The plunger and spring are mounted as a floating self -centering device within a tube, which at one end has a stopper shoulder and a drill attachment and at the opposite end is open with threads on the nutter side of the tube, this tube section of the inventions is known as the arbour.
Mounted inside the threaded end of the arbour tube is a collet, into which a paint brush would be placed, the collet is used to secure a paint brush into place within the invention. Mounted externally round the arbour tube is another tube which is held in position at the bottom by the shoulder of the arbour tube and at the opposit end with a pinching washer which is positioned below the threads at the top of the arbour tube. Mounted onto the threaded end of the arbour tube is a nut. The nut is open at both ends and is shaped to allow the collet to fit snuggly within the nut so as, when tightened, to lock the collet into position inside the threaded end of the arbour tube."

Description

SPECIFICATION
"This invention relates to a drill operated apparatus for removing liquid from paint brushes and rollers"
"It is common in brush spinners to cause tremendous frustration and pain while attempting to lock a paint brush into the jaws of a conventional paintbrush spinner. This is because, while the conventional paintbrush spinners do hold the brush into place, the tension in the clamping jaws is far too high causing the user to try and force the brush into the clamping jaws with all of their strength. This forcing action tends to put the spinner into an awkward position causing the user to brace the spinner against their hip, leg or up against some other supporting structure which tends to position the spinner o~ balance and thus darting into an unpredictable direction. This ussually results in the user scraping, cutting, getting their fingers cut in clamping jaws or doing damage to a floor or wall. They are, moreover, unsatisfactory for general and in many cases proffesional use because of the high tension within the clamping jaws."
"We have found that these disadvantages may be overcome by using a new type of clamping device which uses a cylinder with threading on one end and on the other end a shoulder edge with a drill mountable shaft which seals the bottom end of the cylinder.
Within this cylinder is a free floating spring with a small plastic plunger mounted into one end of the spring. The plunger has a concave cone shaped groove in the top end and a short solid cylindrical end mounted into the spring. The spring and plunger act as a self centering device 'Kith cushioning action so that the paint brush handle will stay stable within the tube. In the threaded end of the tube is placed a collet, which is a small plastic four fingered tubular gripping device with the larger top end being a peakless cone shape with two perpendicular bisecting cuta through the cone shape and the lower end being a short tubular extention which, when inserted into the threaded end of the tube, and the fingers are compressed together, grip the handle of the paint brush tightly without damaging the paint brush handle. Free floating round the first tube is a second tube, which is used as a hand-held stabilizing tube for the invention and is held into place with a pinching washer at the top end and the shoulder edge of the first tube. Ma~unted onto the threaded end of the tube is a tightening nut, used to compress the fingers of the collet round the handle of a paint brush".
"This device, because of the ease in which a paint brush is no~v mounted and fastened and that it is mechanically operated by any household drill, is now more efficient, less dangerous and superior to its predecessor."
"In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention, Figure 1 is a cross sectiorE of the complete assembly of the invention. Figure 2 is the internal arbour tube, which is a tube with a shoulder edge with internal threading at one end and external threading at the other end. Figure 3 is the self centering portion of the invention known as the plunger and spring. These parts when placed within the internal tube of the arbour tube keep the handle of the paint brush centered and balanced within said tube. Figure 4 shows the external tube of the arbour bearing,which: is a free floating tube that is placed over the internal arbour tube and is held into position by the shoulder edge of the internal arbour tube at one end and by a pinching washer at the other end. The combination of the two arbour tubes acts as a rotational stabalizing bearing for the invention.
Figure S shows the eollet which when compressed near the top, by the locking nut, is used as the lacking device in the invention. The collet is mounted inside the threaded end of the arbour tube.
Figure 6 is the locking nut which compresses the callet and secures the paint brush han<~le into place. Figure '7 is the drive shaft which is mounted into the shoulder edge end of the arbour tube.
This shaft is the section of the invention which plugs the bottom end of the tube and mounts the invention to its source of momentum, a power drill, This invention, when a paint roller is pushed onto the end of the locking nut, can be used as a roller spinner, affording the same stability and ease of use as when used as a paint brush spinner.

Claims (5)

1. A hand drill operable tool for removing liquids from paint brushes and rollers, comprising of a arbour bearing with an internal self centering device, an external drive shaft and an external locking mechanism for securing a paint brush handle or paint rollers.
2. A tool as defined in claim 1, in which an arbour bearing is a tube positioned around another tube and which rests upon the shoulder edge of said internal tube.
3. A tool as defined in claim 1 or claim 2, in which the internal tube of the arbour bearing is closed at one end by an external drive shaft and is open at the other end with external threading around the top section the tube.
4. A tool as defined in claim 1, in which the arbour bearing assembly contains a free floating internal self centering device.
5. A tool as defined in claim 1, in which an external locking mechanism, comprising of a collet and a locking nut, where the collet is inserted into the threaded section of the arbour bearing and the locking nut is placed over top of the collet and tightened onto the threads of the arbour bearing which, when tightened will secure the handle of the paint brush into position within the internal tube of the arbour bearing.
