Disclosed is an improved paintbrush with an integrated clip. The integrated clip rotates, and when not in use does not hinder the user. The design allows for a user to use the paintbrush unfettered until the user desires to hang the paintbrush for storage or drying. When the user desires to use the clip, it is rotated from within the paint brush handle to the position of use. When the user desires to utilized the paintbrush for painting, the clip can be stored within the paintbrush handle in a manner where is does not interfere.

An applicator for a container, the container for storing a substance to be applied and including an outlet through which the substance is to be discharged, wherein the applicator includes a brush head adapted to be located at the outlet; and a removable nozzle adapted to be optionally mounted over the brush head.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a tool configured to attach to a handle, the tool being multifunctional. The tool may include a housing having a closed end and an open end, the open end defining a cavity sized to accommodate a handle; and a tool end extending from the closed end of the housing, wherein the tool end includes at least one scraper, a nail puller, and a screwdriver.

A multi function painter's tool box apparatus enabling a user to protect, store and transport various painting tools; clean and spin dry various paint roller covers from water soluble paints and/or stains by using free a hand method with a garden hose or other flexible hose and household water pressure, by generating a jet spray with a nozzle or restricting the flow otherwise, through the rectangular washing slot and generating a high speed whirling motion to the roller; clean paintbrushes from water soluble paints and/or stains, using this single apparatus. The apparatus includes a vertically oriented box with door, a universal paint roller holder assembly, a paintbrush cleaning surface and various holders for the painting tools. It also has a rectangular washing slot on top with a splashguard and drain holes on the bottom. It has a carrying handle on the top and legs on the bottom.

An adjustable tool holder is configured for interchangeable use with a variety of tools provided with different connection elements. The connection elements include at least a first connection element configured for a first manner of connection with the tool holder and a second connection element configured for a second manner of connection with the tool holder. The tool holder includes a distally extending tool support operable to detachably support each of the tools. The tool support includes a first tool connector configured to releasably connect with the first connection element in the first manner of connection. The tool support includes a second tool connector configured to releasably connect with the second connection element in the second manner of connection.

An extension adapter assembly includes a cylinder that has a first well extending therein and a second well extending therein. The first well insertably receives an end of an extension pole and the second well insertably receives a handle of a paint brush for attaching the paint brush to the extension pole. A nut is threadably coupled to the cylinder and the paint brush extends through the second nut. A compression fitting is positioned in the nut and the compression fitting compresses against the handle of the paint brush when the nut is tightened. In this way the handle of the paint brush is inhibited from being removed from the second well.

Reconfigurable paint brush containers provide both display packaging and an edging tool. The container has a painting edge aligned with bristles of the paint brush and a fulcrum on which the paint brush rests. The fulcrum initially spaces the bristles of the paint brush away from the painting edge in a resting state. The painting edge is aligned with a wall corner, where paint is to be applied and a force is applied to the paint brush in the direction of the fulcrum. The force overcomes the spacing effect and brings the bristles into contact with the painting edge such that paint on the bristles is applied in a straight line to a portion of the wall exposed to the bristles at the painting edge.

An improved protective covering for paint brushes, paint rollers, and other paint applicators, consisting of a sheath of flexible, impermeable material. In one embodiment, a protector for a paint brush, roller or other paint applicator comprising a sheath of impermeable flexible material. Said sheath is comprised of two membranes. The inner membrane is polyethylene vinyl acetate, or ethylene vinyl acetate. This provides intrinsic adhesiveness thereby improving performance. The surface of said membrane has a frosted or translucent appearance. This membrane adheres to the paint on the tools for an improved barrier between the paint and oxygen. When the wet surface of the tool makes contact with the frosted membrane, the wet or paint shows through more clearly, while the dry areas maintain a frosted appearance, thereby indicating the product is working. The outer membrane is polyethylene plastic. The outer layer provides an extra barrier against moisture and air and, due to its ductility and impact strength, will act as an extra layer of protection against any punctures. All sides of the covering are sealed except one. The width of the protector may narrow from the open end to the closed end. A casing is at the open end. An elastic cord is threaded through a small hole in the outer side of the casing, through the casing, and out of the hole. A lock is attached to the exposed portion of the elastic cord. The elastic cord and lock allow the user to adjust the seal that fits, or works, best for each painting tool. The improved protector is convenient to use, secure, and inexpensive. The cover is reusable or disposable, at the option of the user. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A paint brush includes a handle including a base generally defining a solid cylinder, the base further including a proximal region, the handle having an axial hollow channel, the channel having a spiral threaded interior beginning at a proximal end of the channel and ending at a distal end of the handle, the spiral threading proportioned for engagement of a threaded paint pole extension. Beginning at a distal end of the base is a paint brush neck having an integral hollow segment of a flexible accordion-like corrugated material, and the axial channel extending into the neck without threading on it. Disposed distally of the corrugated material and integral with it is an integral bristle support region having a bristle securing recess proportioned for securement of bases of paint brush bristles, the recess including an upper and a lower region, the lower region proportioned for selectable receipt of paint bristles, the bristle-securing recess including an upper and a lower region, the upper region defining mutually slanted planes each in a range of about 20 to about 40 degrees relative to the axial channel, the upper and lower regions defining a funnel for directing excess or splashed paint toward the bristle securing recess.

A paint brush cleaning system includes a housing and a paint brush cleaner attached to the housing. The housing contains solvent that helps clean a paint brush. The paint brush cleaner rotates a wire brush against the bristles of the paint brush and actuates a pump to eject solvent drawn from the housing as the paint brush is moved in translation. The wire brush is coupled to a retractable cord, which rotates the wire brush. A holder is simultaneously coupled to the retractable cord and the pump. When force is exerted on the holder, the retractable cord rotates the wire brush and the pump ejects solvent. A user can insert a paint brush handle through the holder, thus actuating the pump and rotating the wire brush by applying force to the handle. The housing attaches to a user's belt, providing easy access to the paint brush cleaning system.
