A container lid and brush assembly includes a lid having a body portion including an aperture passing from a topside of the body portion to an underneath side of the body portion. The lid is configured to seal an open top of a paint can and the aperture is configured to receive and secure a handle of a paint brush. The container lid assembly keeps the bristles of the paint brushed wetted during storage.

In one aspect, a vessel system includes a vessel and a strap. The vessel has an outside surface and includes a bottom wall; a sidewall extending from the bottom wall; and an inner wall connected to the sidewall inward of the outside surface, wherein a recess is defined between the sidewall and inner wall. The strap has opposed first and second ends, wherein the first end is received in the recess, and wherein the second end is configured for selective attachment to the outside surface.

A paint brush holder includes a rigid sheet with a first surface and a second surface. The holder has a ledge surrounding an aperture that accommodates a mouth of a regular mouth mason jar, recessed with respect to the first surface. Grooves extend across a portion of the first surface on a first side of the aperture. Holes extend through the rigid sheet on a second side of the aperture opposite the grooves. The holes have a diameter larger than a smallest diameter of a paint brush handle and smaller than a largest diameter of the paint brush handle.

The present invention relates to a tool, such as paint brush storage or holding device. The device is designed to hold a tool or paint brush in an upright position within a can. The storage device is in the shape of an inverted “J” or “L” and is coated with a protective material. The storage device is supported by the rim of a can and attaches to the handle of a paint brush by use of movable gripping arms. The storage device may further comprise one or more additional attachment points to store additional paint brushes or painting accessories on the exterior of a paint can.

Provided is a container having a container body, a bail attached to the container body, and a flexible band attached to a rear of the container body. The flexible band has a first end attached to the rear of the container proximate a top of the rear and a second end attached to the rear of the container body proximate a bottom of the rear. The flexible band is movable between a first position spaced a first distance from the rear, a second position spaced a second distance from the rear less than the first distance to allow the container body and the bail to be grasped at the rear without interference by the flexible band, and a third position spaced a third distance from the rear greater than the first distance to provide space for a user's hand between the rear of the container body and the flexible band.

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 airtight fashion to maintain paint freshness. Securement features are usable to secure the flap in both closed and open positions.

A paint package lid (14, 114) includes a base wall (54) having a lid base wall upper surface (56) and a lid base wall lower surface (58), a container coupling rim (60) disposed radially outwardly with respect to the base wall and having a rim upper surface (62), and a closure well (64, 164) disposed radially inwardly with respect to the base wall. The closure well includes a radially outer wall (82) extending downwardly with respect to the base wall, a lower wall (84) extending radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and establishing a lowermost surface (85) of the lid, and a neck (86, 186) disposed radially inwardly with respect to the radially outer wall and extending upwardly from the lower wall and having a closure coupling (95). Also disclosed is a lid and closure assembly and a paint package (10, 110, 210) including the lid.

A paint brush holder that can provide easier and more effective use of a paint brush is described herein. The holder includes one or more bores that can admit insertion of a paint brush handle, and can include further features that add functionality. With a paint brush inserted into the holder, a user can paint with better control and for longer periods with less fatigue as compared to painting with a brush alone.

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.

The present invention relates to a temporary paint brush storage device. The device is designed to hold a paint brush in an upright position within a paint can. The storage device is in the shape of inverted “J” and is coated with a protective material. The storage device is supported by the rim of a paint can and magnetically attaches to a metal ferrule of a paint brush. The storage device may further comprise one or more additional attachment points to store additional paint brushes or painting accessories on the exterior of a paint can.
