  • Paintbrush support apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7118078
    Abstract: A paintbrush support apparatus for use in a container and a method of controlling the depth bristles of the brush may be dipped into paint in the container, as the paint level falls in the container. The brush support apparatus includes a rotatable disk that is adapted to accommodate the bristles of a brush resting thereon. The disk is physically configured to have an annular, helical thread configuration that cooperates with a mating helical thread structure that is adapted for inclusion in the container. Rotation of the disk causes the disk to move to varying levels in the container from a top of the mating helical thread structure to a bottom of the mating thread structure adjacent the bottom of the container.
