In at least one embodiment, the wall of the device includes a conical portion extending from the base up to a cylindrical portion that fits around the container.

Abstract: A paint roller paint saving pan for a tubular roller pad is provided. The paint roller paint saving pan includes a paint can attachment portion configured to removably axially support the paint roller paint saving pan relative to an open end of an open paint can. A roller pad support portion is configured to radially support an end of the roller pad. A paint catching portion is positioned adjacent and vertically below the roller pad support portion and includes a through passage permitting fluid communication into the paint can when the paint can attachment portion is vertically supported on the paint can such that paint scraped from the roller pad supported by the roller pad support portion can return back to the paint can. The paint roller paint saving pan is configured to provide access to the roller pad by a rigid tool to scrape excess paint therefrom.

Abstract: A wringer has a support surface and a first wringer surface depending from the support surface to a second wringer surface having perforations and curving to a free edge substantially below the support surface. The second wringer surface may be curved in an approximately 180 degree arc. The first wringer surface may be flat and also perforated. The support surface may be formed as an inverted channel structure with a closed upper surface and an angled surface extending away from the first wringer surface. The angled surface may extend at an angle approximately 45 degrees. The wringer may be used with one or more buckets, where the wringer is supported from the rim of one bucket or from the adjacent rims of two buckets. A flat first wringer surface may be used to ring a flat mop, and the curved second wringer surface may be used to wring a round mop.

Abstract: Container device for an environmental humidity absorber with an anti-spill system which comprises A lower receptable to collect saline liquid with a recessed rib that fits into a peripheral flange in an outer part of a wall of a tray for hygroscopic material, disposed over the upper edge of the receptable; A drainage tube that extends vertically inserted in a central drainage hole of the receptable embedded into the base of the tray An upper lid with ventilation holes, a lateral peripheral flap over the tray wall and with a lower peripheral flange Recessed projections that fit into the complementary openings of respective horizontal recessed tongues that emerge from opposite sides of the lid, emerge from at least two respective opposing segments of the wall of the tray.

Abstract: A paint can and paint brush holder in the form of a tray having means for securing the can to the tray, means to facilitate holding the tray and paint can with one hand as the other hand applies paint from an open can with a brush, the tray having place for setting down one or more wet brushes, and for holding a wipe-up rag.

The wringer may be used with one or more buckets, where the wringer is supported from the rim of one bucket or from the adjacent rims of two buckets. A flat first wringer surface may be used to ring a flat mop, and the curved second wringer surface may be used to bring a round mop.

Abstract: A paint trim tray and can cover includes a container with an open top end and a closed bottom end. The bottom end is smaller in diameter than the opening in a paint can so that the container can be placed in the can. The top end of the container is larger in diameter than the can opening, but smaller than the diameter of the can cover, whereby, when the tray is placed in the can, the cover can be placed on the tray to protect the contents thereof from the atmosphere.

Abstract: A flexible, resilient molded elastomer pour spout device attachable to the rim of a bowl, can, pot, pan or other vessel, eliminates drips and spills by directing poured liquid over a protruding spout rather than over the vessel rim. A second version provides an integral strainer separating the poured liquid from solids to be kept in the vessel and not poured out.

Abstract: A paint mat, removably attachable to the base of a paint can, for collecting spills and drips from the paint can during use. The paint mat includes an attachment means, such as a magnet, in the central portion thereof, for attachment to the base of the paint can. When attached, the paint mat extends beyond the perimeter of the paint can. The paint mat may include an aperture distal to the central portion but not extending past the perimeter of the base. The semi-rigid board also includes an advertisement on at least one side thereof and an extension therefrom so as to allow a brush to rest.

Abstract: A cutting and fillet board with drain is adapted for removable attachment to a conventional IGLOO® ice chest cooler and other similar ice chest coolers. The cutting and fillet board has a planar, generally rectangular board member fabricated of a high-density polymer and includes a raised peripheral wall. The board member has a generally smooth filleting surface designed for use during cutting, cleaning, and filleting fish. An attachment means facilitates removable attachment of the board member to an upper surface of an ice chest cooler top. A pair of drainage portals facilitate drainage from the filleting surface, while drain plugs serve to prevent drainage onto the ice chest cooler top. A cutting instrument retention means provides for temporary storage of a desired cutting instrument.

Abstract: A rag bucket having a lid received against a tub's rim that allows bleached rags with residual odors of bleach contained therein to breathe with the outside air. The rag bucket lid has an aperture covered by a screen which allows the rags, when sealed therein, to breathe. The lid is recessed into the tub so that after the bleached rags have been removed, the lid may act as a strainer, for example, for paint to allow “good” paint to pass through the screen into the tub, and “bad” paint or impurities to be trapped on top of the screen to be discarded so as not to spoil a painter's work.
