ABSTRACT:
A box for artist brushes is integrally molded of plastic and includes two elongated panels hingedly interconnected for movement between open and closed conditions, each panel having one end wall, one side wall and one latch flange arranged complementary with those members on the other panel for cooperation therewith to form a closed container in the closed configuration of the panels, while facilitating insertion of brushes when opened. Each panel includes a transverse support bridge and two transverse rails longitudinally spaced apart adjacent to one end of the panel. Each bridge includes two inclined upwardly converging walls interconnected by a top wall which slopes downwardly from one side of the panel to the other, each inclined wall being provided with a row of holes therethrough decreasing in size from the high end to the low end of the bridge. Each hole is aligned with a like-sized hole in the other inclined wall for receiving a brush handle therethrough and is shaped and dimensioned resiliently to grip the brush handle. The rails serve to tilt long, thin handles to engage them in oversized holes.
The support bridges and rails are arranged on the panels to facilitate nesting thereof and the brushes held thereby when the box is closed.
