A system for a tool container including a container assembly and a mounting system assembly is disclosed. The container assembly includes a container that includes a magnetic band along an interior perimeter for attaching tools thereto. The container further includes a handle for ease of transporting the container. Importantly, mounted to the container is the mounting system assembly which includes a hook attached to the handle of the container at one end. The opposite end of the hook is attached to the user, preferably, to a belt of the user. Further, the mounting system assembly includes a strap that is mounted around the leg of the user. The strap is secured with hook and loop fasteners to adjust the strap around the user tightly. The user can carry all materials with the container and keep it secured in place with the mounting system assembly.

A paint brush having a handle with an integrated hanger that is pivotably movable between a retracted position for stowing the hanger within a groove of the handle, and an extended position for extending the hanger outwardly from the groove to hang the paint brush on an object. When stowed in the retracted position the hanger may be flush with an outer surface of the handle to enhance the ergonomic design. The hanger and groove may be configured to enable ease of deployment of the hanger from the retracted to extended position simply with a one-handed operation. The portion of the handle having the groove may be made of a flexible material which may better secure the hanger in the groove when stowed and/or may facilitate installation of the hanger. The handle may include a grip portion having the flexible material which is over-molded onto a rigid head portion.

A stackable magnetized bucket with integral handle and grate comprises a generally cylindrical container that has a rounded sidewall. The sidewall extends upwardly from a floor wall to a rim that forms an open top. A portion of the sidewall forms a flat side that is sloped inwardly from the rim to the floor wall to enable stacking multiple containers. A grate that rests on the inner surface of the flat side to enable scraping paint from a paint brush or roller. The grate can have multiple textured configurations and openings that enhance the squeezing of paint. The container also comprises an integrated handle that forms at a peripheral flange beneath the rim. The integrated handle is sized to enable gripping the top end of the container. A magnet that positions proximal to the rim, on the outer surface of the sidewall to detachably attach with a magnetized mounting surface.

A paintbrush holding apparatus for a paint tray that includes a trough. A brush holding body is attached to the trough. The brush holding body includes an inner portion separated from an outer portion. The inner portion includes a magnetic portion formed thereon. The magnetic portion is structured to hold a ferrule of a brush and maintain the paintbrush above or within the tray. The outer portion includes a magnetic portion formed thereon. The magnetic portion is structured to hold a ferrule of a brush and maintain the paintbrush above or within the trough. An attachment structure is attached to the brush holding body. The attachment structure grasps a wall of the paint tray. The brush holding body is positioned within a volume of the paint tray and the trough is positioned outboard of the volume of the paint tray.

A paint brush having a handle with an integrated hanger that is pivotably movable between a retracted position for stowing the hanger within a groove of the handle, and an extended position for extending the hanger outwardly from the groove to hang the paint brush on an object.

A device for holding a paintbrush from a lip or edge of a paint container such that the paintbrush bristles are allowed to be submerged at a controllable depth in the paint of the paint container.

A support clip includes a container engagement section for mounting the support clip to an upper interior portion of a paint container, and a brush holder support section. A brush holder carries a vertically suspended paint brush. Edge surfaces of the container engagement section include a first segment, a second segment, and an intermediate segment, which engage inner and lower surfaces of the container rim and an inner sidewall surface. A brush keeper kit for a paint brush employs used paint containers as brush keeper parts. The brush keeper kit includes a paint container adapter and a brush holder. The paint container adapter has an outer rim and an inner ledge, which define upper and lower sections for coupling upper and lower paint containers. The brush holder is mounted to an upper interior portion of the lower paint container and supports the paint brush within an interior space.

A tool holder includes a body having a posterior arm with a first longitudinal axis extending from a posterior arm proximal portion to a posterior arm distal end. The body includes an anterior arm having a second longitudinal axis extending from an anterior arm proximal portion to an anterior arm distal end. The anterior arm proximal portion includes an anterior arm offset portion having a third longitudinal axis that intersects the first longitudinal axis at or below a midpoint of the posterior arm. The body also includes a u-shaped portion joining the posterior arm distal end and the anterior arm distal end. At least one magnet is positioned on the anterior arm to connect to a paintbrush or other tool.

A tool is disclosed having an integral safety hanger. The tool has a handle including a gripping portion and a neck portion, and a channel within the handle which passes completely through the handle. A hanger assembly is provided which is mounted at a first end thereof within the channel and which includes one or more arm elements adapted to move between a position completely within the channel to positions on either a first side of the handle outside of the channel and/or a second side of the handle outside of the channel, the one or more arm elements are adapted to securely hold the tool on a lip of a container when the one or more arm elements are moved to the first position and/or to the second position.
