  • Patent number: 5123565
    Abstract: Attachment for a paint can substantially eliminates accumulation of paint within the groove encircling the rim of the paint can. A rigid plate having planar top and bottom surfaces includes a central opening. A first set of spiked pegs are mounted to and extend normal from the bottom surface of the plate. The pegs are equally, annularly spaced such that they may be aligned within the groove of the can. The plate may then be forced down upon the can whereupon the pegs pierce the bottom of the groove to form holes therein. The plate thus lies in tight, covering relation over the rim of the can preventing paint from entering the groove. When the plate is removed from the can, the holes formed in the groove allow paint which thereafter collects in the groove to pass therethrough and back into the can. A second set of pegs are provided to alternately accomodate a different size paint can.
