Inventor(s)Buck; Donald C. (2261 Woodward Ave., Lakewood, OH 44107)
AbstractAn attachment is disclosed for use on paint cans and the like. An annular rim guard having an outer wall connected to sloping an annular ring fits on an open can. The annular ring covers a lid receiving groove in a can rim. Integral securing members with C-shaped openings removably secure the rim guard to bail bearings of the can. Sealing flanges are integrally fixed to the bottom of the annular ring portion to provide a sealing contact surface. A paintbrush holder receptacle with a brush receiving opening and a drain opening is fixed to the rim guard for maintaining a paintbrush in a substantially upright position. The drain opening at the bottom of the brush holder is positioned over the can opening to allow excess paint from a brush in the holder to drain into the can interior. A permanent grid feature is located across the drain opening to prohibit small width brushes from entering the can interior. A pouring spout is located in an outer wall of the brush holder. Paint guards prevent paint from spilling out during pouring and to add reenforcement between the rim guard and the brush holder. Handle retaining parts integral with the annular rim guard hold a can handle in an upright position or in annular lock-back position toward the brush holder.
