ABSTRACT:
A brush holder includes a generally cylindrical container with an inner annular flange close to its open end and a raised brush support which defines a lower liquid reservoir. The annular flange is preferably inclined toward the bottom of the container or, alternatively, is perforated. The dimensions of the annular flange are chosen such that when a brush is inserted into the container and removed from the container, the flange squeezes the brush. As the brush is squeezed, liquid is removed from the brush and drips into the liquid reservoir. The brush support is preferably a raised central portion of the container floor which defines an annular reservoir or, alternatively, the brush support may be formed as a perforated disk which is spaced above the floor of the container. The brush support keeps the brush out of the reservoir so that the brush will remain dry. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the cylindrical container is provided with a step so that the container will fit into and be supported by a maid's caddy.
