Abstract

Provided is a paintbrush cleaning device having: a container arranged to hold a cleaning liquid; a first twisted-in-wire brush rotatably arranged in the container; a second twisted-in-wire brush rotatably arranged in the container; and a drivetrain arranged to rotate the brushes in contra-rotational sync. Each of the first and second brushes comprises: twisted stem wires defining a central longitudinal axis of rotation of the brush, and a plurality of bristles of equal length held by the twisted stem wires. The first and second brushes are arranged such that the axes of rotation are fixed in relation to the container and parallel to each other such that a paintbrush can be moved through an opening at a top of the container and in between the axes of rotation to be cleaned by the brushes when rotating.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a paintbrush cleaning device (10), comprising: a container (1) arranged to hold a cleaning liquid; a first twisted-in-wire brush (2a), rotatably arranged in the container; a second twisted-in-wire brush (2b), rotatably arranged in the container; and a drivetrain (3) arranged to rotate the brushes (2) in contra-rotational sync. Each of the first and second brushes comprises: twisted stem wires (4) defining a central longitudinal axis (L) of rotation of the brush, and a plurality of bristles of equal length held by the twisted stem wires. The first and second brushes are arranged such that the axes of rotation are fixed in relation to the container and parallel to each other such that a paintbrush can be moved through an opening (6) at a top (7) of the container and in between the axes of rotation to be cleaned by the brushes when rotating.
