  • Patent number: 5641007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device which can support a plurality of paint brushes and/or paint rollers and enable them to drain in an efficient manner. In its broadest context, the present invention includes a housing having rear wall component and a container component. The container includes a bottom surface which is tapered inwardly toward a draining aperture. This draining aperture can be connected to a receptacle by way of a length of tubing. Thus, the user of the device can support it upon a wall or upon the edge of a bath tub. A number of brushes and/or paint rollers can then be supported within the container portion of the device and have any paint dripping therefrom run off into the bottom surface of the container through the tube and into a receptacle for disposal or reuse. The various components of the present invention, and the manner in which they interrelate, will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
