Abstract: A brush caddy made up of four pieces of wire welded together. The longest piece termed a "spine" has a hook at the top from which a paint brush may be hung. Centrally a cross piece is welded to the spine to form a pair of arms ending in claws which grip the rim of a paint can. The spine is tilted away from the can so that the brush is more easily grasped and more easily placed on the hook. A third piece of wire forms a "yoke" which cooperates with the hook and the spine to support the brush in the desired slanting position with the dripping edge over the mouth of the can. The fourth piece of wire is welded across the spine at its base to embrace the can at that end. An elastic member fits over the ends of this fourth piece of wire and around the can, for added stability.
