A paint bucket insert. The paint bucket insert includes a base dimensioned to removably secure within a bucket, wherein an annular sidewall extends orthogonally away from the base along a perimeter thereof. The base is further concave defining an apex. A well is disposed within the base at the apex, wherein the well extends from a lower side of the base. The well can receive a paint sprayer hose or alternatively a paint roller therein.

A holder assembly for holding a painting tool within a paint container is provided. The holder assembly includes an inner tube including an attachment mechanism for receiving the painting tool, an outer tube that receives the inner tube, wherein the outer tube includes a securement means for attaching to the paint container, and a tightener to secure a position of the inner tube within the outer tube.

A painting tool holder includes a body defining an upper platform and a lower platform, wherein the upper platform and the lower platform are connected via a front support. A rear support extends from the upper platform. The front support and the rear support define a channel therebetween for receiving a rim of a paint can therein. A pair of support rings are disposed on opposing lateral sides of the lower platform. A fastener is disposed on a first side of the upper platform. An upper support ring is disposed on a second side of the upper platform.

A holding receptacle for effectively storing contents in a reduced air environment to retard oxidation, drying, and other issues related to air exposure. The holding receptacle comprises a body with a flexible liner integrated to the body such that the flexible liner sits within an interior portion of the body to define an interior body to act as a conduit for a content of the holding receptacle. The holding receptable also comprises of an air valve which adjusts the air within the interior portion of the body by compressing the flexible liner toward an upper end of the body. This expels excess air from an interior portion before a lid is placed over the upper end of the body to allow the contents within to be stored in an air-free environment and improving the shelf life of the contents.

A cover assembly includes a first portion and a second portion.

An implement scraper provides a scraper bar for scraping debris into a bucket, such as a five-gallon bucket, and is detachably attachable to the bucket by a bucket coupler. The bucket coupler is configured with a latch that rotates to secure the implement scraper to the rim of the bucket. The latch may be pivotably coupled between a latch pivot aperture. A rim extension is configured to extend along a rim of the bucket and the scraper bar is coupled to the rim extension and may extend across an extension angle of the bucket. A debris aperture is formed between the scraper bar and the rim extension to allow debris to fall therethrough into the bucket. A magnetic coupler is configured to retain a metallic implement to the implement scraper by one or more magnets.

A combined lid and strainer device for a paint container features an outer mounting rim configured for mated fitting onto a rim of the paint container. Within a central circular area surrounded by the rim, there is a perforated a straining area through which paint is pourable. A movable cover is selectively movable between a closed position overlying the perforated straining area, and open positions withdrawn therefrom to allow strained pouring of the paint therethrough. Raised features on the cover are used to secure the cover closed when the lidded container is placed in a paint shaker. A sealing membrane is used, at least initially, seal the perforated area in air-tight fashion to maintain paint freshness. Securement features are usable to secure the flap in both closed and open positions.

The current disclosure relates to containers. More specifically, the current disclosure relates to containers with access to both the top and the bottom of the container, particularly for contents of the container that are thick and/or viscous.

A painting system for removing excess paint from a paint applicator and reducing paint waste is disclosed. The painting system includes a paint device comprising a bar and a magnet assembly. The bar includes a first portion engaged with a second portion via a first bend, a third portion engaged with the second portion via a second bend, and opposing ends. The first portion and the first bend allow a user to press a paint applicator thereagainst to remove excess paint. The magnet assembly is configured to securely hold the paint applicator thereto via the paint applicator's metallic ferrule.
