ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning the bristles of a brush and for pointing the bristles includes a reservoir for a cleaning liquid for the bristles. A top for the reservoir includes a guide aperture through which the brush can be inserted to enable the bristles to be inserted into the liquid in the reservoir. A point forming aperture for the bristles communicates with the guide aperture. The point forming aperture includes a pair of resilient, normally contacting lips that are formed as a slit in a sponge. The lips are urged apart as the brush is withdrawn from the reservoir and surround and contact the bristles to control the shape of the bristles. The sponge includes a foot that is inserted into the liquid to draw the liquid by capillary action to the lips so that they are maintained moist. To form a fine tip on the brush, the brush is rotated about its longitudinal axis while the bristles are drawn through the lips. To provide a chisel tip, the brush is drawn through the lips without turning it about its longitudinal axis.
