Abstract: A paint brush cleaning funnel, and combination including the same, wherein such funnel comprises a threaded liquid-inlet end, and outwardly flared hollow funnel portion, and a brush-tip-receiving hollow intermediate portion adjoining the inlet end with the funnel portion. The cross-section of the interior of the flared funnel portion, relative to its traverse dimension, resembles a slot or rectangle in the sense of the transverse length of the slot being longer than the width-wise dimension thereof. A paint brush is easily inserted in the funnel portion with the bristles thereof facing the liquid inlet end of the device. Water or other liquid coming through the inlet end operates to clean the bristles. The intermediate portion uniquely receives the bristles and allows these to expand moderately in the presence of the onrush of liquid. The funnel is large enough at its trailing end so that water or other liquid can be conveniently discharge without interference from the brush handle.
