This invention has two components, a side delivery spray wand and a transparent plastic package with two compartments. One compartment serves for storage and display of the spray wand, and for guiding and limiting the wand's use in delivering the spray to the paint roller surface. The other compartment serves for storage and display of a paint roller, and is the protective chamber within which a roller is cleaned and spin-dried. The enclosure possesses a small top opening for insertion of the spray wand, and a bottom opening for rapid exhaust of paint-laden solvent. Its two halves are hinged, book-like. When open multiple units nest conveniently. When closed, the compartments are completed, a segment of a paint roller handle is captured, and the seam seals to force all of the paint laden solvent to vent at the exit port.

I claim: 1. A container for cleaning, spin drying, displaying, and storing a paint roller, said container is formed from a single sheet of transparent plastic, nesting uniformly with other like sheets of formed transparent plastic; said container folds along a hinge in the form of parallel crease lines to close said container and complete its primary features, half of each feature having been impressed into each half of said formed plastic sheet; said container when closed possesses a roller chamber, of a length and diameter as are required to enclose a roller segment of a paint roller, and a wand chamber, of a length and diameter as are required to enclose a spray wand; said roller chamber and said wand chamber possess in common an open channel connecting adjacent sides of said two chambers, said open channel serves as straight guides and rotational limits for a spray end of a side delivery spray wand to deliver a spray from said wand chamber into said roller chamber for the purposes of cleaning and spin drying a paint roller; said container possesses a fluid seal which mates when said container is closed to prevent liquid passage, and fastening means to hold said container closed; said container has a top or upper side and a bottom or a lower side with said channels oriented vertically, said container possesses an opening located directly above said wand channel, said opening being in open communication with said wand channel, said opening is shaped appropriately for insertion of a spray end of a spray wand and to prevent inadvertent removal of a spray end during spray activation, said opening is shaped to retain a spray wand installed for display or storage; said container also possesses an opening herein termed the exhaust, said exhaust being located directly below said wand channel, said exhaust being shaped for rapid elimination of liquids from said wand chamber and said roller chamber; said roller chamber being cylindrically shaped possesses both an upper end and a lower end; said upper end of said roller chamber is sealed with aforementioned fluid seal with the exception of a centrally located opening in said upper end for a shaft of a paint roller; said lower end of said roller chamber is completely enclosed, said lower end of said roller chamber is sealed with aforementioned fluid seal, said lower end of said roller chamber is formed to slope uniformly toward said exhaust so as to rapidly channel all accumulating liquids from said container out through said exhaust; said container also possesses means to capture and hold a handle of a paint roller in such a fashion that a paint roller is suspended within said roller chamber retaining an ability to rotate freely on its own shaft with no other attachments or means of support than that afforded by shapes formed in the plastic material. 2. A container according to claim 1, designed to contain wholly or in part a paint roller handle with a paint applicator sleeve installed, said container is shaped and molded to possess features and compartments wherein said compartments are capable of receiving marketing devices. 3. A container according to claims 1 or 2, possessing a shaped opening for insertion of a spray wand nozzle, said shaped opening of said container is formed in such a fashion as to require a nozzle of a spray wand to be rotated to one of two certain positions to permit either insertion or withdrawal of a spray wand nozzle. 4. A container according to any of claims 1, 2, or 3 wherein certain features impressed on each half of the of the single transparent sheet, divided by the hinge, are formed to possess the kind of symmetry required to foster use either handedly. 5. A container according to any of claims 1, 2, 3, or 4, wherein said nozzle features a protruding spray orifice, wherein said protruding spray orifice corresponds to said shaped opening and is a physical means to require rotation to a certain position for insertion or withdrawal of said nozzle through a shaped opening, and is a physical means to limit an angle of delivery for an activated spray. 6. A container according to any of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein one or more holes for hanging are provided, said holes being shaped and arranged to support and foster displaying the package and its contents in a variety of orientations.
