A paint brush suspension lid for a paint can which incorporates a resilient brush holder insert designed to hold a paint brush handle at a desired static vertical position, enabling the bristles to be immersed in the paint without touching the bottom or sides of the paint can, thereby protected from the ambient air when not in use, without damaging the paint brush by immersing the brush ferrule. The lid is a bright coloured, high visibility material evocative of a caution cone, and is shaped to permit unobstructed use of a paint can handle while the lid is in place atop the can.

A carrying assembly including a support member integrally molded with sealing covers that have a base connected via a bridge to a lid. The base is engaged with can top end and the lid is rotatable to seal the can. A four-pack of cans is secured together by a sealing member having an annular ring defining an aperture and four radial arms. Each base is engaged with two adjacent arms. A six-pack of can is secured together by a sealing member having a central strip with an annular ring at each end and a plurality of tabs extending between adjacent bases. Each annular ring defines an aperture therein. The annular rings are rotated relative to the strip to bring the apertures into alignment. A user will insert one or more fingers into the aperture in the four-pack or the aligned apertures in the six-pack to lift and carry the same.

A transportation collar that includes a ring having a central longitudinal axis and including: a base wall extending transversely and radially inwardly with respect to the axis, and an annular skirt extending in a first axial direction axially away from the base wall; and a peripheral impact barrier extending radially outwardly from the ring adapted to position both the transportation collar and a container carried by the collar relative to one or more additional adjacent transportation collars and one or more additional corresponding containers, wherein the peripheral impact barrier comprises a flange wall extending transversely with respect to the axis.

A combination cap and work support system includes a lower section configured to connect to a container and an upper section configured to provide a desired support to an object. The combination cap and work support system may be utilized alone or in multiples to support an object above a work surface during a project. Configurations of the upper section generally include multiple apices separated by areas having a reduced height, and configured to support an object directly on the apices, or between the apices, to provide a desired combination of support and stability. The combination cap and work support system may be included as part of a kit in conjunction with a compatible container, such as a can of sprayable surface coating.

A paint storage and usage system including a container and a cap. The container has at least one internal ledge for removing excess paint. The cap includes a handle and a paint brush. The cap is affixed to the container by a threaded ring which engages threads on the container and compresses the cap against the top of the container.

A portable paint system and method of using same is described. The system comprises a container defined by front, back, side and bottom walls. The container has a paint reservoir section and a sloped tray section allowing paint to drain to the reservoir section. The system also includes a lid having two parts coupled to each other or to the container by hinges. The lid is configured to cover the container and can be in a closed or open configuration. When in closed configuration, the lid forms a hermetic seal with the container for storage of paint therein. Wheels are coupled to the bottom wall of the container for portability. A user maneuvers the system without lifting it by using a paint roller, positioning the roller head and neck in dedicated groove/indentation and using the roller handle to move the system with the lid in the open or closed configuration.

A combined lid and strainer device for a paint container features an outer mounting rim configured for mated fitting onto a rim of the paint container. Within a central circular area surrounded by the rim, there is a perforated a straining area through which paint is pourable. A movable cover is selectively movable between a closed position overlying the perforated straining area, and open positions withdrawn therefrom to allow strained pouring of the paint therethrough. Raised features on the cover are used to secure the cover closed when the lidded container is placed in a paint shaker. A sealing membrane is used, at least initially, seal the perforated area in air-tight fashion to maintain paint freshness. Securement features are usable to secure the flap in both closed and open positions.

A device for use in paint touch ups comprises a container, holding paint, its lid having a channel there through to securably accommodate a brush handle (and in the absence of a handle, being otherwise plugged shut) and a flexibly placed accessories box.

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 hand-held vessel has a bottom wall, a sidewall and a supportive strap attached to the bottom wall and the sidewall. The bottom wall and sidewall have an inner and outer surface. The sidewall extends from the bottom wall, whereby the inner surfaces of the bottom wall and sidewall define a cavity for holding fluids or loose materials therein. The strap has a first end and a second end, whereby the first end is fixedly attached to the sidewall and the second end is selectively secured to the bottom wall. The strap is adaptable to accept a user's hand disposed between the strap and the outer surface of the sidewall. The strap urges the hand against the outer surface of the sidewall to secure the vessel to the hand and stabilize the vessel with respect to movement relative to the hand.
