PAINT BRUSH HOLDER Filed May 18, 1955 Oct. 8, 1957 Fig.

United States Patent 9 PAINT BRUSH HOLDER Herbert C. Wilson, Marion, Ohio Application May 18, 1955, Serial No. 509,195 4 Claims. Cl. 220-85) This invention relates to a paint brush holder, and more specifically. provides improved vand novel construction in a paint brush holder adapted to be attached to a paint bucket or container for retaining the paint brush in a readily accessible position.
An object of the present invention is to provide a paint brush holder for attachment to a paint container for supporting the brush in a readily accessible position thereby eliminating paint dripping on the sides of the container, on the floor, scafiold, thereby saving the paint and eliminating unsightly paint splattering.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a paint brush holder in accordance with the preceding object which may be attached to various paint buckets and which includes a removable and disposable paper receptacle for holding the brush.
A further important feature of the present invention is to provide a paint brush holder including a removable receptacle for receiving the paint brush which is preferably constructed of paper material wherein the receptacle may be replaced for using a paint brush and paint of another color and maybe replaced at a minimum of cost.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the paint brush holder of the present invention attached to a paint container;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal, vertical sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passing along section line 2-2 of Figure 1 illustrating the construction of the paint. brush holder and its relationship to the paint container;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the paint brush holder showing the skeletonized or open framework of the lower end thereof;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the paper receptacle positionable in the open framework forming a receptacle for the paint brush; and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of the invention.
Referring now specifically to the drawings, it will be seen that the numeral generally designates the paint brush holder of the present invention for attachment to a paint container generally designated by the numeral 12 and including a cylindrical peripheral wall 14, a bottom 16, an open top having an inwardly extending peripheral lip 18 and a pair of projections 20 for pivotally receiving a U-shaped wire bail 22, all of which represents conventional paint can construction and forms no part of the present invention, being illustrated and described for purposes of clarifying the construction of the paint brush holder 10.
Patented Oct. 8, 1957 The paint brush holder 10 generally includes an elongated vertically disposed wire member 24 having a laterally extending doubled U-shaped bend 26 adjacent its upper end which lies in the same plane as the elongated member 24 for positioning over the projection 20 which supports the bail 22. Projecting upwardly coextensively with the elongated member 24 is a downwardly opening U-shaped hook member 28 which is disposed in a plane in perpendicular relation to the U-shaped hook 26 for projecting inwardly of the container 12 and positioning over the peripheral lip or rim 18 at the upper end of the container 12, thereby positioning the holder 10 alongside the container 12.
The lower end of the elongated wire member 24 is provided'with a U-shaped portion 30 which opens'upwardly and is provided with a pair of generally horizontal but inclined bottom rails 32 having substantially vertical rails or wire members 34 at one end together with arcuately curved rails or wire members 36 connecting the other end of the horizontal rails or wires 32 and the upper ends of the vertical wires or rails 34. The upper end of the free end of the U-shaped portion 30 is connected to one of the arcuate rails or wires 36 and the other of the arcuate rails or wires 36 is connected to the elongated member 24 by suitable welding 38 or other similar fastening means. Positioned in the open framework defined by the wire members or rails is a generally triangular-shaped receptacle 40 having a peripheral outwardly and downwardly flared edge 42 around the open end 44 thereof together with a recess 46 in the peripheral edge 42 for engaging the vertical member 24. The outwardly flared lip 42 is positioned over the arcuate members 36 and the ends are positioned over interconnecting rails 48 thereby forming a holder for a paint brush 50. The paper receptacle 40 is removable from the wire framework to permit the use of a different receptacle 40 for different colors of paint and also permitting disposal thereof and replacement thereof, and reduces the cost of the entire holder 10.
Attached to one of the wire bottom rails 32 adjacent the interconnecting members 48 is an upstanding wire member 52 terminating in a laterally extending wire member 54 forming a rest for the handle of the paint brush 50.
Referring specifically to Figure 5, it will be noted that a sheet metal right angular member 56 extends between and is secured to the interconnecting rails 48 thereby forming a support for the paper receptacle 40.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and changes may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. The combination with a container having an open top and a bail supporting projection adjacent the open top, of a paint brush holder comprising a vertically disposed rod adapted to be positioned alongside the container, a doubled U-shaped, laterally extending and downwardly open bend integral in said rod near its upper end and lying in the same plane as said rod for positioning over the bail supporting projection, a downwardly opening U-shaped hook member projecting upwardly coextensively with the rod at the upper end thereof, said hook member being disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to said doubled bend, for projecting inwardly of a container and positioning over the open top thereof, an upwardly open U-shaped bend integrally formed at the lower end of said rod and lying in substantially the same plane as said U-shaped hook member, a pair of generally horizontal but inclined bottom rails connected to the opposite ends of the central portion of said upwardly open U-shaped bend portion at right angles thereto, substantially vertical rails at one end of said horizontal rails ex tending upwardly therefrom at right angles thereto, a pair of arcuately curved rails connected to the other ends of said horizontal rails at one end and to the upper ends of said vertical rails at the other end forming an open framework, the upper end of the free end of the upwardly open U-shaped portion being connected to one of said arcuate rails, the other of the arcuate rails being connected to said rod, an upstanding wire member connected to the end of one of said horizontal rails remote from said vertical rails and terminating at its upper end in a laterally extending member forming a rest for the handle of the paint brush, and a generally triangular shaped disposable receptacle fitting within said frame work.
2. The combination according to claim 1, said dis- 4 posable receptacle having a peripheral outwardly and downwardly flared open edge adapted to rest on said arcuate rails, said periphery having a cutout portion receiving therewithin said vertical rod.
3. The combination according to claim 2, including interconnecting rails connecting the upper ends of said vertical rails and the other ends of said horizontal rails, said flared edge fitting downwardly over said interconnecting rails.
4. The combination according to claim 3, including a sheet metal right angular member extending between and secured at its ends to said interconnecting rails whereby to form a support for the disposable receptacle.
