Abstract: Holder devices for bulk paint cans comprising planar ergonomic handles having a C-shaped “jaw” that engages only the conventional upper, lip rim of a paint can so that the can may be held at a conveniently inclined angle in one hand during brush painting to permit unobstructed access to the paint. The jaw is common for all sizes of paint cans, as the ring-type can lip is common in its radial dimension and thickness. A slot with optional keeper is provided to retain bails. Three embodiments are shown: a Universal type and two dedicated types, for Quart and Gallon cans, respectively. A magnet provided on the holder retains a paint brush oriented over the paint contents to catch drips. The transition section of the holder is flat to provide a surface on which the holder can be stood upright, and as a hammer to reseal the paint can lid.

Abstract: This invention is an improved liquid distribution device and more particulary an elongated shower pipe which uses a reinforced, enclosed, curved vane and a plurality of uniquely designed spray outlets to evenly dispense a controlled, continuous thin sheet of liquid spray, having a substantially equal rate of application, velocity, pressure, consistency, and thickness, across a width of a rotary drum, the spray having a uniform, somewhat staggered and overlapping spray pattern. The enclosed curved vane significantly resists breakage when impacted against a pulp buildup and prevents debris from disrupting the spray pattern.
