ABSTRACT:
A one piece brush keeper or container for protecting and maintaining the shape of the bristles of a brush before and after use includes a main panel which covers a front face of the bristles and bristle holding portion of a brush, lateral panels which wrap around sides of the bristles and bristle holding portion and overlap a back face of the brush, a lower end panel having a radially cornered and tapered locking tab receiving slit which folds around the brush tip and overlaps the lateral panels, and an upper end panel which folds over a top of the bristle holding portion and overlaps the lateral panels and the lower end panel and interlocks with the lower end panel by insertion of a narrow neck radially rounded and tapered locking tab at a distal end of the upper end panel into the locking tab receiving slit. The locking mechanism of the narrow neck radially rounded and tapered locking tab with the radially cornered and tapered locking tab receiving slit allows for repeated opening and closing of the keeper without damaging the locking mechanism. Indentations in the edges of the upper end panel assist in the engagement and disengagement of the locking tab in the locking tab receiving slit. The bottom of the keeper may be straight or angled to accommodate either straight or angle tipped brushes.
