An apparatus includes a bottom wall, a plurality of connected walls attached to the bottom wall to define a cavity having a top rim, and a flange extending laterally outward from the top rim. At least a portion of the flange extends downwardly from the top rim. The portion of the flange includes an aperture configured to accept a user's thumb, and the portion of the flange is substantially symmetrical about a center line of the apparatus.

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 paint tray includes front and rear walls, first and second side walls, a bottom wall and an inclined ramp. The inclined ramp includes first and second raised runners protruding from the inclined ramp so as to be raised relative to a central portion of the inclined ramp. A recessed space is defined between the first and second raised runners and the central portion of the inclined ramp. The paint tray further includes a well and first and second recessed gutters for directing paint into the well. The paint tray is configured such that when a paint roller cover is rolled along the inclined ramp, the first and second raised runners, together with the recessed space of the inclined ramp, increase the amount of paint distributed onto a center portion of the paint roller cover and decrease the amount of paint distributed onto ends of the paint roller cover.

A liquid management system to manage liquid in a can includes a pump coupled to the can, a paint tray coupled to an output of the pump, and an organizer having recesses to receive the can, pump and paint tray.

A painting system having a paint applicator holder, a paint applicator and a paint tray. The paint applicator holder has a handle portion and an applicator portion that extends from the handle portion. The paint applicator has an applicator base and an applicator pad. The applicator base is capable of engaging the applicator portion. The applicator pad is capable of receiving paint. The paint tray has a lower surface and a side wall extending therefrom to define a recess that is adapted to receive paint. The paint tray further also has at least one ridge extending from the lower surface into the recess to longitudinally and latitudinally support the paint applicator above the lower surface.

A paint-pot/kettle includes a manually detachable/attachable multi-use tool-handle. The paint-pot/kettle holds substances, such as paint, for the use with a brush and/or mini-roller. The paint-pot/kettle includes: angled/magnetized brush-rest, wiping-blade, mini-roller-glide, mini-roller-holder, belt-clip/loops, removable/replaceable plastic pot-liners to line the internal of the paint-pot/kettle, ergonomically-designed plastic handle (referred to as the multi-use tool-handle), and male component of the manual-locking system to attach/detach the multi-use tool-handle from the paint-pot/kettle. The multi-use tool-handle has multi-use functions including: mallet to close paint tins, paint tin openers, mini-roller cleaning-aid, shark-tooth brush cleaning-aid, scraping blade, beer bottle opener, female component of the female-to-male locking-system designed to attach the multi-use tool-handle to pot/kettle.

A container system for holding paint for use by a person while painting a surface with a paint roller or a paint brush includes a container comprised of five panels that fold from a relatively flat collapsed configuration into a container configuration that includes four side walls and a bottom wall. The top end of the container is open and exposes an internal volume that is sized to allow the paint brush and the paint roller through the open top end to access the internal volume. A flexible, liquid-impervious bag is open at one end thereof and adapted to fit within the internal volume of the container when the container is in the container configuration. The flexible bag may include a drain aperture in a bottom side thereof that is selectively sealable by an adhesive tape closure. A support brace and a detachable hand-carried mini-pail may be further included.

An accessory holder is used with a paint tray assembly including a paint tray and a tray carrier releasably attached to the paint tray which includes a post extending upwardly from a base that is releasably clipped onto one end of the paint tray. The accessory holder has a first clip portion adapted to be releasably clamped resiliently and frictionally onto the post of the carrier, and a second clip portion adapted to releasably clamp a painting extension pole therein resiliently and frictionally therein.

A fluid medium holding device may include a holder body having a plurality of side walls, a bottom wall and an opening defined by the side walls that allows access to an interior space of the holder body. The holding device may also include a first handle attached to the first wall of the holder body and pivotable about a first pivot axis; and a second handle attached to the second wall of the holder body and pivotable about a second pivot axis. The first and second handles can be folded on an upper edge of the holder body with the first and second handles positioned generally parallel to each other.

The moveable paint tray preferably includes a base ring, a peripheral wall, a sloped ramp, an engagement platform, a handle and a hood. The peripheral wall extends upward from an outer perimeter of the base ring. A liquid support surface is formed in a portion of an inner perimeter of the base ring. The sloped ramp extends upward from an end of the liquid support surface. The engagement platform extends from an end of the sloped ramp. A ramp wall extends inward and upward from an inner perimeter of the base ring to the sloped ramp and the engagement platform. The handle extends from an outer perimeter of the peripheral wall, adjacent the engagement platform. A drain spout is formed through the peripheral wall on an end opposite the handle. A second embodiment of the moveable paint tray does not include a hood for nesting multiple units together.
