A universal paint brush holder for paint buckets has a paint brush handle bracket extending perpendicularly from a slide fit speed clip which is removably attachable to the rim of an open paint bucket. The device accommodates paint brushes and paint buckets of a wide variety of sizes. The paint brush handle bracket has two arms that extend from a base outward and define a nook in which a paint brush handle is retained. The slide fit speed clip is formed from a front guide extending down from the front of the base and a back panel extending downward from the back of the base. The paint brush holder has no moving parts and is therefore durable, long-lasting and inexpensive to manufacture.

A paint palette system for holding and dispersing paint wherein the a painter can pour paint into a low profile receptacle for later removal with a paintbrush or like tool, wherein a disposed and removable paint retaining fabric retains the paint in a drip-less and mess free fashion wherein paint can be transported and stored in an improved manner allowing for a faster and more efficient painting effort.

An apparatus includes a paint holder configured for utilization with a paint applicator, in which the paint applicator has an applicator-engagement feature. The paint holder has a paint-receiving zone configured to receive paint therein. The paint holder has a vertically-extending side wall, in which the vertically-extending side wall surrounds, at least in part, the paint-receiving zone. The paint holder has a holder-engagement feature configured to selectively engage with, and selectively disengage from, the applicator-engagement feature of the paint applicator.

Provided herein is a caddy device for attachment to an external surface of a bucket. The device permits holding items relative to the external surface of the bucket while permitting continued use of the interior of the bucket (e.g., to hold liquids) and/or allow attachment of a lid to the bucket. In an embodiment, the caddy device includes a semi-annular body that may be disposed about a portion of an outside peripheral surface of a bucket. In this arrangement, an interior periphery of the semi-annular body may be sized for disposition around a portion of an external periphery of the bucket. A tensile element, e.g., strap, extends around the remainder of the outside periphery of the bucket and attaches to first and second ends of the semi-annular body. A brim extends (e.g., cantilevers) outwardly from the semi-annular body. A plurality of apertures are disposed through the brim.

A set of molded silicone rubber devices is used for cleaning a variety of paint brushes in a variety of containers. A circular basic paint puck is molded silicone rubber with paint-cleaning teeth and a diameter matching the bottom of a standard coffee cup or else a standard disposable paint mixing cup of 8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz or 64 oz. A bucket puck has a diameter fitting a 1-gallon or 5-gallon paint bucket and is suitable for large, heavy brushes. An expansible paint puck doubles in size when submerged in turpenoid paint solvent and has a silicone rubber purity and hardness ensuring uniform expansion and contraction. A paint puck set includes solvent container, stable footing and ultimate rinse cup topper with brush holders, flexible cup grip, brush scraping surfaces and drip tray.

A caddy for the paint container when viewed from the top is comprised of a chord segment and a corresponding arc segment, the chord segment and arc segment being the front wall and rear wall respectively of the caddy with a bottom that joins the walls forming an open-top reservoir. The outer surface of the front wall comprises a matrix of cones so as to form an irregular surface that a paint roller may utilize to distribute paint about the paint roller. The caddy contains a magnet within the reservoir to secure a paintbrush and a deck where openings or recesses may secure one or more tools. Other disclosed embodiments include a caddy where the deck has been replaced by a handle or by a secondary paint reservoir.

A paint brush and roller handle coupler is provided, comprising a horizontal tubular upper section, a cylindrical section extending downward at an angle from the upper section, a first mechanism configured to secure a paint brush handle in the tubular upper section, and a second mechanism configured to secure a paint roller handle in the tubular upper section. The horizontal tubular upper section comprises an open front section, comprising a front edge having a first pair of notches spaced 180 degrees apart, and an open rear section.

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 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 storage assembly for storing one or more paint application devices includes a lid having a central axis and that is configured to couple with an open end of a bucket, wherein the lid includes an interior side defined by an interior surface of the lid and an exterior side that is opposite the interior side and is defined by an exterior surface of the lid, and a cylindrical first device holder extending axially from the interior side of the lid, wherein the first device holder is configured to couple with a central tube of a paint roller.
