  • Paint Brush Cleaning Method
    Publication number: 20150143649
    Abstract: A method and device for cleaning paint from a paintbrush is provided. The method comprises compressing the bristles of a paintbrush between a first row of V-shaped teeth and a second row of V-shaped teeth, and pulling the paintbrush brush outwardly from between the rows of V-shaped teeth. The teeth in the first row of V-shaped teeth are interlockable with the teeth in the second row of V-shaped teeth. The interlocking teeth are affixed to two tooth plates rotatably connected together. The tooth plates “sandwich” the bristles of the paintbrush and pull paint from the brush.
