Abstract: A paint roller pan includes a relatively deep distal paint reservoir and a relatively shallow inclined roller ramp. The proximal end of the roller ramp is provided with a downward extending flared support with distally extending feet for engaging a step ladder. The reservoir and the ramp are separated by a dam having a central notch through which paint drains from the ramp into the reservoir. An inner side wall of the pan is provided with a vertical V-shaped notch on the proximal side of the dam for engaging the arm of a paint roller with an extended handle and holding it in a vertically fixed position. Two outer side walls of the pan have notched handle receiving slots. A handle with hooked ends engages the notched slots and is movable to engage appropriate notches so that the pan is balanced when lifted with one hand regardless of how much paint it is holding.

Abstract: A towel is attached along one of its edges to a hollow, insulating tube. The towel may be rolled up or wound around the tube. Articles such as cold beverage cans may be placed in the tube. Two removable endcaps may be used to close the ends of the tube and thus retain the articles. In the rolled-up position, two or more snaps near the free end of the towel may be used to secure the towel around the circumference of the tube. A strap connecting the endcaps facilitates transportation of the tube and rolled-up towel.
