Benefits of technology

[0008]Longitudinal ribs, preferably but not limited to four, extend inwardly from the inner walls of the tubular structure help to center the sleeve within the container and keep the sleeve, regardless of thickness of its nap from rattling around in the container. The ribs are rounded off at proximate with the opening in each component near the end where joining of the two components is so as to help guide the sleeve into the container. The ribs span the length of each portion.

Problems solved by technology

Further, in many jobs more than one coat of paint is required.
Moreover, if the job is not finished prior to a lunch break or at the end of the workday, the sleeve must be cleaned or discarded.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to the drawings, in FIG. 1 a storage container for a paint roller sleeve 10 includes two portions 10a and 10b that are joined together at the middle 10c of the entire container 10. The container 10 is designed to house large sized paint rollers 50 (see FIG. 16 in dashed lines) therein such as but not limited to 18 inch paint rollers 50.

[0020]The container 10 is formed of two portions 10a and 10b that connect together so as to form a larger sized container 10 for housing herein a large sized paint roller 50 where the point of connection for the two portions is the middle portion 10c of the thus formed larger sized container 10. The portions 10a and 10b can be connected to each other either by having both portions flare out and one portion be slightly wider at the point of joining and have a cut out portion and the second portion fitting within the flared out end of the larger portion with a latch or pin 12 that engages the cut out section to removably lock and engage ...

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is a continuation in part of nonprovisional application Ser. No. 12 / 456,454 filed Jun. 17, 2009, under 35 U.S.C. 120. This is also a nonprovisional application of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 284,790 filed Dec. 24, 2009 by Mowe, et al. for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. 119(e).BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]During a standard workday a painter may use one or more paint roller sleeves. Further, in many jobs more than one coat of paint is required. Moreover, if the job is not finished prior to a lunch break or at the end of the workday, the sleeve must be cleaned or discarded. There is a need for a device in which a freshly used, yet to be cleaned, paint roller sleeve can be stored overnight, ready for reuse the next day.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The object of this invention is to provide a container for a just used paint roller sleeve in which it can be stored and kept in such a condition that it can be used again immediately, for...
