A paint multi-tool assembly includes a shaft that has a hooked end that is insertable into a power tool thereby facilitating the shaft to be rotated when the power tool is turned on. A first cylinder insertably receives the shaft thereby facilitating the first cylinder to be inserted into an open end of a paint roller. Thus, the power tool can rotate the paint roller for cleaning paint off of the paint roller. A plurality of fins is each coupled to and extends away from the first cylinder for stirring paint in the paint container. A second cylinder is coupled to each of the fins such that the second cylinder is spaced from the first cylinder. In this way the second cylinder can be inserted into the paint container or be inserted into the open end of the paint roller.

The ‘Paint Pot Pro’ is a paint-pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15), and a manually detachable/attachable multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-15). The paint-pot/kettle component of the ‘Paint Pot Pro’ holds substances, such as paint, for the use of brush and/or mini-roller, and comprises of recommended 1,000 ml volume-capacity. The paint-pot/kettle component of the ‘Paint Pot Pro’ includes: angled/magnetised brush-rest (Lables-1,2; FIG.- 15); wiping-blade (Lable-3); mini-roller-glide (Lable-5); mini-roller-holder (Lable-6); belt-clip/loops (Lables-7,8; FIG.-15); removable/replaceable plastic pot-liners to line the internal of the paint-pot/kettle (Lable-9); ergonomically-designed plastic handle (referred to as the multi-use tool-handle) (Label-4; FIGS.-13-15); and male component of the manual-locking system (Lable-10) to attach/detach the multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-14) from the paint-pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15). The multi-use tool-handle has multi-use functions including: mallet to close paint tins (Lable-14), paint tin openers (Lables-11,12), mini-roller cleaning-aid (Lable-13), shark-tooth brush cleaning-aid (Lable-17), scraping blade (Lable-15), beer bottle opener (Lable-18), female component of the female-to-male locking-system (Lable-16) designed to attach the multi-use tool-handle (FIGS.-5,12-15) to pot/kettle (FIGS.-1,6-9,15).

The invention provides a scraping device for a paint brush, the scraping device comprising a peripheral wall that extends between an upper end and a lower end, and enclosing a scraping space between said upper end and said lower end. On an inner side turned towards the scraping space, the peripheral wall is provided with a scraping relief that extends along a complete inner perimeter of the peripheral wall. The scraping device is provided with a bottom and/or one or more engaging elements for resting on, preferably for coupling to, an upper edge of a holder, for example a tin. The scraping space is dimensioned for receiving the tip of a brush, and the scraping relief is configured for providing a scraping direction substantially parallel to the upper edge of the peripheral wall.

A tool is provided that includes unitary plate that includes a blade portion and a tang portion. The blade portion can include an edge. The tang portion can include a positioning hole, a first hole, a slot, a second hole, a rivet hole, and one or more teeth (also referred to as one or more barbs) on a side of the tang portion. The tool can further include a hilt member which includes a through passage, a tab, and a notch. The tool includes an overlay on a body to create a handle for gripping the tool. The tool further includes a hammerhead cap on an end of the body, the hammerhead cap is coupled to the handle with a rivet through the rivet hole.

A paint roller cleaning system including an elongated cylindrical member configured to receive a paint roller, a first-end-cap, and a second-end-cap. The first-end-cap for attachment at a first-end of the elongated cylindrical member and the second-end-cap for attachment at a second-end of the elongated cylindrical member. The first-end-cap includes a threaded-member and may couple to a water supply and direct water through a receiving-aperture. The second-end-cap includes an exit-aperture and a positioning-member for positioning the paint roller above the exit-aperture allowing for water to drain therethrough. The paint roller cleaning system may be used for cleaning a paint roller when inserted into the elongated cylindrical member and the water supply is activated.

A wiping device for removing fluid material from a mixing paddle. The wiping device includes a contact portion and an accumulation portion that downwardly extends from a lower end of the contact portion. A passage extends through the contact portion and the accumulation portion and is adapted for receiving the mixing paddle therethrough. An upper portion of the passage is located within the contact portion and is sized and shaped to contact opposed sides of the mixing paddle to wipe the fluid material off of the opposed sides of the mixing paddle when the contact portion is moved along the opposed sides of the mixing paddle. A lower portion of the passage located within the accumulation portion forms a cavity in fluid flow communication with the upper portion of the passage in the contact portion.

A cleaning apparatus for paintbrushes comprises a rotatable nozzle assembly has a plurality of nozzles as well as several paintbrush holders. In the paintbrush holders, paintbrushes can be held such that the nozzles are moved through their tuft during operation. A good cleaning effect can be achieved in this manner.

An apparatus and method for cleaning a paint roller. The apparatus includes a handle configured to communicate a cleaning solvent to a cleaning casement. The solvent is tangentially directed at a surface of a roller brush contained within the cleaning casement to impart a rotation of the paint roller to dissolve and release the paint or other coating composition from the paint roller. The cleaning casement may include a top casement segment and a bottom casement segment hingedly connected to enclose the roller brush. In use the roller brush may be inserted into the cleaning casement while attached to the roller handle assembly. Removed paint and solvent are collected through an exhaust.

A paint roller washing device provides a containment chamber adapted to removably secure therein the roller portion of a paint roller. The roller washing device also provides fluid channel adapted to direct a supply of pressurized fluid tangentially along a circumference of the roller portion, causing the roller portion to spin at a high rate of speed, thereby spinning the paint off the roller due to the centrifugal force, while also spraying paint off the tangentially struck circumference. The supply of pressurized water may be an external garden hose that fluidly connects to the fluid channel by way of a fluid jacket along an outer surface of the containment chamber, which also provides a slot for securing the frame portion of the paint roller while the roller portion is subject to a blade of pressured fluid.

A paint multi-tool assembly includes a shaft that has a hooked end that is insertable into a power tool thereby facilitating the shaft to be rotated when the power tool is turned on. A first cylinder insertably receives the shaft thereby facilitating the first cylinder to be inserted into an open end of a paint roller. Thus, the power tool can rotate the paint roller for cleaning paint off of the paint roller. A plurality of fins is each coupled to and extends away from the first cylinder for stirring paint in the paint container. A second cylinder is coupled to each of the fins such that the second cylinder is spaced from the first cylinder. In this way the second cylinder can be inserted into the paint container or be inserted into the open end of the paint roller.
