A tap and solvent container assembly includes a container having an upper wall, a bottom wall and a side wall connecting the upper wall and said bottom wall. A bung hole is formed in the side wall and a threaded bung assembly is mounted within the bung hole. The threaded bung assembly has a threaded member and a tap assembly is threadedly mounted to the threaded member. The container has an inner reservoir for containing liquids such as solvents, paint, thinners, reducers, etc. The top assembly is used to dispense the liquids from the container.

A container includes a container body and a lid, which has an outer lid wall portion surrounding a central portion. The outer lid wall portion provides a lid-side sealing surface, which engage with body-side sealing surface, when the lid is applied to the container body to close the container. The container further includes a securing ring inserted within the outer lid wall portion. The securing ring having a lower portion and an upper flange portion extending from the lower portion at an acute angle (α) of less than 80° from vertical.

A covered paint tray assembly for storing paint and a paint roller includes a pan that has a sloped floor for containing a fluid paint. The pan has a first groove therein to accommodate a rod of a paint roller. A lid is provided and the lid can be positioned on the pan. The lid releasably engages the pan when the lid is positioned thereon to inhibit the fluid paint from spilling out of the pan. The lid has a second groove therein to accommodate the rod of the paint roller.

A multi function painter's tool box apparatus enabling a user to protect, store and transport various painting tools; clean and spin dry various paint roller covers from water soluble paints and/or stains by using free a hand method with a garden hose or other flexible hose and household water pressure, by generating a jet spray with a nozzle or restricting the flow otherwise, through the rectangular washing slot and generating a high speed whirling motion to the roller; clean paintbrushes from water soluble paints and/or stains, using this single apparatus. The apparatus includes a vertically oriented box with door, a universal paint roller holder assembly, a paintbrush cleaning surface and various holders for the painting tools. It also has a rectangular washing slot on top with a splashguard and drain holes on the bottom. It has a carrying handle on the top and legs on the bottom.

A ladder tray assembly includes a case that has a recess integrated therein. A lid is hingedly coupled to the case for opening and closing the case. A pole is extendable through the case and the pole is inserted into a rung of a ladder thereby mounting the case to the ladder. A case member is coupled to and extends away from the case and a grip is coupled to the case member. The grip extends around the pole when the pole is extended through the case and the grip extends around the rung through which the pole is extended. A pair of storage units is each attachable to the lid when the lid is in an open position to facilitate tools stored in the storage units to be accessible to a user.

A clip capable of magnetic attachment to a paintbrush or to a steel paint roller mesh tray. It has a multi toothed hook arm extending from the body of the clip that enables a hanging attachment to a plethora of different sized paint cans and at different vertical angles. The clip may be used with continued attachment to the paintbrush where the paintbrush is hung on the paint can when necessary by the hook arm. It may also be used with continued attachment to a steel paint roller mesh tray and the paintbrush is magnetically affixed on the tray when necessary. A ferromagnetic backing cup may be used to direct the bulk of the magnetic flux to either side of the clip body.

A paint container lid assembly for a standard paint container includes an opening with a threaded adapter ring and a removable threaded cap. A pour spout/funnel includes a tubular lower portion having an internally threaded end to removably engage the adapter ring. The upper portion of the spout/funnel comprises a coffer-like body having an elongated opening. A spout/funnel cap is slidably secured to the spout/funnel to close the entire spout/funnel upper opening or partially unblock the opening to meter and control the rate of outflow of paint.

An apparatus for wetting a roller (e.g. with paint) includes a liquid containment area having a first side wall, a second side wall, a first end wall and a second end wall, and a sloping bottom section connected to form a rectangular container capable of holding a liquid. The sloping bottom section slopes such that a first end of the rectangular container is deeper than a distal opposing end such that the liquid tends to drain and pool in the first end. A lip extends inwardly continuously around the top edges of the side walls. The lip reduces spilling of paint, adds stiffness to the tray, and provides a base for the attachment of a roller cleaning mesh. In some embodiments, a roller cleaning mesh is mounted to the lip above the first end for rolling a roller over to remove debris from the roller.

An improved protective covering for paint brushes, paint rollers, and other paint applicators, consisting of a sheath of flexible, impermeable material. In one embodiment, a protector for a paint brush, roller or other paint applicator comprising a sheath of impermeable flexible material. Said sheath is comprised of two membranes. The inner membrane is polyethylene vinyl acetate, or ethylene vinyl acetate. This provides intrinsic adhesiveness thereby improving performance. The surface of said membrane has a frosted or translucent appearance. This membrane adheres to the paint on the tools for an improved barrier between the paint and oxygen. When the wet surface of the tool makes contact with the frosted membrane, the wet or paint shows through more clearly, while the dry areas maintain a frosted appearance, thereby indicating the product is working. The outer membrane is polyethylene plastic. The outer layer provides an extra barrier against moisture and air and, due to its ductility and impact strength, will act as an extra layer of protection against any punctures. All sides of the covering are sealed except one. The width of the protector may narrow from the open end to the closed end. A casing is at the open end. An elastic cord is threaded through a small hole in the outer side of the casing, through the casing, and out of the hole. A lock is attached to the exposed portion of the elastic cord. The elastic cord and lock allow the user to adjust the seal that fits, or works, best for each painting tool. The improved protector is convenient to use, secure, and inexpensive. The cover is reusable or disposable, at the option of the user. Other embodiments are described and shown.

The present invention is a paint tool holder that can be attached to any extension ladder with the main objective to hold a variety and multitude of tools, such as: (1) paint roller frames, (2) 1 to 5 gallon paint buckets, containers and pails; (3) paint spray guns; (4) tape masking machines; (6) caulking guns; (7) tape rolls and more. The paint tool holder includes a rod attached to the bucket holder and stabilizer to hold the bucket firm and steady so that a user is able to easily paint. The paint tool holder can be attached to either side of the extension ladder thus making it very comfortable to work for either a left or right-handed user.
