A tool support assembly for supporting paint, spackle, and other tools on a user's body includes a tray with a belt attached so that a user may support the tray by wearing the belt around the user's torso. A tube is coupled to the tray and shaped to hold a paint cup in the tube. Several other holding structures are provided for holding other tools.

A hands-free, belt-worn paint container support apparatus including a receptacle for holding a paint container, a handle rotatably connected to the receptacle, one or more spacers rotatably connected to the handle, a belt tab connected to the spacers, and first and second spaced panels operationally connected to the spacers, where each panel is connected to the spacers, where the handle is rotatably connected to the first side panel, and where the belt tab is connected to the second side panel. In additional embodiments, the belt may be configured to accommodate paint trays as well as paint holders.

A belt mounted paint and applicator holder apparatus adapted for stability and convenience comprising of a bucket portion, a top portion being nestable on the bucket portion upper open end, a pair of opposing toggle latches to cooperate with corresponding toggle latches on the bucket outer surface to form a clasped position wherein the bucket and top portion are nestled together, a buckle belt coupler having a pair of first vertical slots for insertion of a belt therethrough, and a quick-connect self-leveling coupling mechanism between the top and bucket portion, when in the clasped position, to maintain stability and self-leveling.

A manual paint system comprises a holster with cooperatively formed paint reservoir that fixates to the painter's person. The holster is in fluid communication via a valve with a reservoir that holds fresh clean paint. The holster receives a regulated flow of paint when the valve is open. The holster includes a fixator for securing the applicator so that the handle is available for easy grasp while the brush bristles or roller remain wet in paint within the holster. Scrapers within the holster remove excess paint from the applicator and are configured to return the excess paint to the holster for later use. The fixator may be attached to a gate that slideably opens and closes the valve, thereby allowing the painter to load the holster with paint by simply pulling out the applicator and shut off the flow by pushing the applicator back into the holster.

A paint brush cleaning system includes a housing and a paint brush cleaner attached to the housing. The housing contains solvent that helps clean a paint brush. The paint brush cleaner rotates a wire brush against the bristles of the paint brush and actuates a pump to eject solvent drawn from the housing as the paint brush is moved in translation. The wire brush is coupled to a retractable cord, which rotates the wire brush. A holder is simultaneously coupled to the retractable cord and the pump. When force is exerted on the holder, the retractable cord rotates the wire brush and the pump ejects solvent. A user can insert a paint brush handle through the holder, thus actuating the pump and rotating the wire brush by applying force to the handle. The housing attaches to a user's belt, providing easy access to the paint brush cleaning system.
