The present invention provides a means for separating free flowing paint from lumps in the paint. Towards this end the embodiment of the present invention is a paint strainer screen preferably circular in configuration. The strainer in question, in its simplest form is manufactured from a circular disk of an ordinary wire screen, reinforced at its outer edge with a circular rim. The screen is somewhat smaller in diameter than the opening in the paint can so that it can be readily inserted into the can proper. By means of a stick the screen strainer is forced into the paint which prior to this has been thoroughly mixed with the stick. As the screen moves towards the bottom while being pushed by the stick, the free flowing paint passes through the wire mesh in the screen and collects above it, while the lumps in the paint collect on the bottom of the can under the screen.
A strainer mountable upon a 55 gallon drum or the like, for thawing frozen edibles comprising a vessel having side walls, preferably a pair of sloping bases extending out from a central opening, which opening is covered by a removable perforated lid. The central opening is surrounded by an upstanding wall to aid in confinement and delivery of the thawed fluid to the drum or barrel.
A cooking grease collection pot includes inner and outer cylindrical containers. The inner container is made of a heat resistant plastic material and it includes an overlapping portion on which the lid is screwed so that the outer periphery of the lid can be grasped by hand in order to lift and remove the inner container. The inner container includes a screw-on lid and it is provided with a notch in its base for receiving a wedge that projects upwardly from the base of the outer container. The engagement between the notch and wedge prevents relative rotation of the containers to permit the lid for the inner container to be screwed on and off. The inner container may be removed for disposal and includes a strainer.
A strainer device for use in straining a liquid such as paint from a container into an open receptacle, said strainer device having a side wall with a top end and a bottom end, an outwardly and circumferentially extending lip that is integral with the side wall at said top end and is adapted to be engageable with the top end of an open top container so as to support the strainer device in the open top of the container and a screen mesh member fixed to a flange on the bottom end of said side wall.

A selected portion of the side wall is indented from top to bottom so as to provide a channel along its length to permit introduction of an intake hose or other implement to a container in which the strainer device is suspended without having to first remove the strainer from the container.
A strainer for paint, or other liquid products, used for treating or finishing a surface. The strainer including a screen which is secured to a body having an open top, an open bottom and a sidewall. The screen being secured across the open bottom of the body to separate lumps and foreign matter from the paint. The body independently suspends the screen within the paint creating a reservoir of strained paint.
