The bottom, furthermore, has a front bottom section and a rear bottom section as well as a middle section connecting the two.

The rear bottom section is also provided with ribs and is an additional surface for rolling paint off a roller.

Abstract: A gripping device for use on a paint tin has a U-shaped grip with a middle section and two flexible arms. Free outer ends of the flexible arms are provided with hook-shaped parts which are used to couple to a paint tin. Within the grip is a U-shaped handle, free outer ends of which are provided with sleeves that can slide along the anus of the grip. There are stops on the arms of the grip which limit sliding of the free outer ends of the handle in a direction towards the middle section of the grip. By pulling the middle section of the handle towards the middle section of the grip, the arms bend as a result of which the free outer ends of the arms come towards each other.
