Patent number: 6575295Abstract: A paint brush protecting cover using a series of folding flaps. The flaps are connected in such a way that, when folded, they force the bristles into the desired tapered configuration.

The elastic nature of the closure method also allows the device to accommodate a wide variety of brushes.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Inventor: Marlon E. Mayfield
