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.

A paint tray with brackets is provided. The paint tray with brackets includes a base, a pair of lateral sidewalls and a pair of longitudinal sidewalls extending from the base defining interior volume. A pair of brackets are disposed on opposing first and second corners, both of which are formed by the intersection of one of the longitudinal sidewalls and one of the lateral sidewalls. Each of the first bracket and second bracket includes a pair of opposing tabs surrounding an open slot, such that the first bracket and second bracket each maintain a u-shape. The open slot is configured to releasably engage the upper edge of an open container such as a paint can in order to easily pour the contents of the paint tray into another container.

A nesting paint bucket and tray system includes a paint bucket and a paint tray. The paint bucket has an open upper end with an upper edge defined around the open upper end and a receptacle for holding paint. The paint tray has a depth that is less than the depth of the paint bucket and has an upper edge that is shaped and sized to seat on the upper edge of the paint bucket to permit the paint tray to nest inside the paint bucket. The upper edge of the paint tray supports the weight of the paint tray and any paint inside the tray. The paint tray provides an elevated work surface relative to a paint level in the paint bucket. A tool storage receptacle and a gripping portion for a paint tray is also disclosed.

A Silicone based paint tray or liner of which will be responsible to containing paint for household and commercial projects. The silicone paint tray and liner will be standard in size to be utilized by various painting accessories on the market. The composition of the paint tray and liner will allow more productive work as cleanup will be minimal. The silicone paint tray and liner will have a low impact on the environment.

The disclosure describes a novel method and apparatus for improving silicon interposers to include test circuitry for testing stacked die mounted on the interposer. The improvement allows for the stacked die to be selectively tested by an external tester or by the test circuitry included in the interposer.

A wiping device for removing fluid material from a mixing paddle. The wiping device includes a contact portion and an accumulation portion that downwardly extends from a lower end of the contact portion. A passage extends through the contact portion and the accumulation portion and is adapted for receiving the mixing paddle therethrough. An upper portion of the passage is located within the contact portion and is sized and shaped to contact opposed sides of the mixing paddle to wipe the fluid material off of the opposed sides of the mixing paddle when the contact portion is moved along the opposed sides of the mixing paddle. A lower portion of the passage located within the accumulation portion forms a cavity in fluid flow communication with the upper portion of the passage in the contact portion.

A fluid tray is disclosed, the fluid tray comprising a base, a rim, a plurality of sidewalls arranged between an edge of the base and the rim and extending in an upward direction from the base, a reservoir defined by the base and the sidewalls, at least one container securing mechanism integrated or coupled to the rim or at least one sidewall, and at least one drainage spout, and wherein the at least container securing mechanism and the drainage spout operate to drain a fluid from a container into the reservoir when the container is in a substantially vertical position above the reservoir and the container is coupled to the fluid tray using one of the at least one container securing mechanism.

A flexible paint tray assembly includes a housing that is comprised of a resiliently bendable and stretchable material. The housing comprises a bottom wall that has a top side and a bottom side. A perimeter wall is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The perimeter wall includes a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. The perimeter wall has an upper edge. The bottom wall includes a front portion adjacent to the front wall and a rear portion to the rear wall. The front portion is angled downwardly from the front wall to the rear portion such that the rear portion defines a receiving pool. The bottom side of the front portion is angled upwardly from the bottom side of the rear portion. The bottom side of the rear portion is planar and lies in a horizontal plane.

A paint workstation includes several integral structures characteristics that provide convenient resources for painting projects, with such structures supported by adjustable legs and configured to hold several necessary tools. A main body of the workstation has compartments specifically configured to contain paint cans, paint brushes, tape, plastic wrap, etc. Further an integral paint roller tray is formed as part of the main body, and a removable paint roller holder is configured to be attached to the main body at a position adjacent the roller tray. The roller holder is configured to hold a paint roller in a position that is partially within the paint roller tray, but not to sit in a bottom reservoir portion of the tray. Additional accessories include attachable trays and components that allow the workstation to be configured in a manner that is very flexible and tailored to the painter's needs.

Embodiments herein are directed to a handle assembly for releasable coupling to an exterior surface of a tray that is configured to retain a fluid is provided. The handle assembly includes a base member and a quick-release attachment assembly. The base member includes an elongated member that has a distal end, an opposite proximal end and a planar portion having an outer surface. The planar portion is positioned to extend from the proximal end and above the proximal end of the elongated member in a vertical direction. The quick-release attachment assembly has an interior surface and an opposite exterior surface. The interior surface is coupled to and extending from the outer surface of the planar portion of the elongated member. The exterior surface of the quick-release attachment assembly is adapted to releasable couple the elongated member to the exterior surface of the tray.
