A portable wet paint brush holder which is formed by a substantially rectangular bottom panel, vertical front and rear walls, and substantially rectangular side walls forming an enclosure with a top opening for receiving the brush portion of a conventional paint brush having the handle extending in an upward direction. One of the side walls of the holder is substantially vertical, but the other is outwardly inclined from the vertical at the bottom by an acute angle of the order of thirty degrees so that the enclosure top opening is larger than the bottom portion. A flexible clip is attached to the rear wall adjacent to the angled side wall and the top of the rear wall for holding the paint brush handle and a flexible hinged gripper extends from the rear wall at the top for securing the holder to an external object such as the painter's belt or to a ladder strut or the lip of a paint can.
An angled-cut paint brush holder that is attached to the outer portion of a paint container is disclosed. The holder comprises a brush vessel having an angle shape opening formed by a tall inside wall and three short exterior walls toward the bottom cover. The inside wall of the brush vessel has a guide to secure the brush handle, envelops over the open top rim of the paint container, so that the vessel is placed vertically along side the paint container, extending to the bottom edge of the container.
A paint brush caddy adapted to hold a paint brush in association with a paint bucket and to prevent dripping from such brush onto the floor comprising in its basic elements a container into which the paint brush is inserted and which is enclosed to prevent leakage therefrom, and means to affix such container in a removable fashion to the lip of a paint bucket to hold the container in fixed position on said bucket.
A spackle pall holder for holding a spackle pan having a closed bottom end, an open top end, and inclined peripheral walls. The holder is an open top holder having inclined peripheral walls, a bottom wall, and a clip assembly located on one of the inclined peripheral walls of the holder adjacent to the open top. The clip assembly enables the holder to be detachably attached to the belt of a person. The clip should be large enough and of suitable construction to ensure that the weight of the holder, the pan, and the spackle compound contained within the pan are adequately secured to the belt. The holder has a shape approximating that of the spackle pan to provide a frictional engagement therebetween. Alteratively, the inclination of the peripheral walls of the spackle pan is greater than that of the side walls of the holder to substantially eliminate friction therebetween. Preferably, the peripheral walls of the holder are provided with openings to ensure that a spackle pan is used in combination with the holder and that the holder is not used in substitution of a spackle pan. The pan, upon engagement with the holder, extends approximately one inch above the top of the holder to enable the user to easily grasp and remove the pan therefrom.
A painter's belt-mounted paint and brush holder especially adapted for stability relative to the painter. It includes an open topped bucket with a rim that drains into the bucket cavity, and a stabilizer integral with the wall of the bucket that rises above the bucket with a substantial area that is drawn against the body of the painter.
A holster for supporting an elongated hand-held instrument, when the instrument is not in use, comprises at least one clip, and a frame, for securing a contamination barrier around the instrument and for allowing the instrument to be inserted into, and withdrawn from, the interior of the barrier; and a support for the frame. The holster is of use for intake nozzles of medical and dental operating room suction equipment.
