Abstract: An accessory removably snaps onto the upstanding edge of a roller tray or the bail of a can holding paint and the like. It has a hook to hold a brush by a hole in the brush handle when the brush is not in use. A wide scraping or wiping blade at the lower end causes excess fluid removed from the brush to drain into the can or tray. The accessory is equipped with a carrying handle for lifting the can by its bail.

Abstract: A paintbrush holder and scraper fits onto the rim of an open paint can. A vartical member extends up from the rim and supports a projecting pin for engaging the hole in a paintbrush handle. When held by the pin, the paintbrush rests with the bristles draining into the can and resting against teh scraper. The scraper has a flat edge that also drains into the can for wiping excess paint off the bristles. The vertical member is removably joined to a rim cover member that covers the rim of the can to prevent paint from contaminating the rim. A snap lock arrangement secures the cover member to the rim of the can. The scraper is integral with the rim cover. A single vertical member may be used with many cover members of different sizes.
