ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a support for a paintbrush. The support may advantageously be used both when you want to lay down the paintbrush on a flat surface and when you want to hang the brush on a bucket. The support consists of an integrated part of the paintbrush, projecting at the head of the paintbrush.
STATE OF THE ART
It is known in the prior art to provide bucket holders for paintbrushes. Such holders are generally in the form of tabs or tinplates projecting from the handle or the head of the paintbrush. The projecting tabs are often rounded in order to follow the shape of a bucket or a paint jar.
When you want lay down a paintbrush equipped with such a bucket holder, however, you are not helped by it, as the holder will not provide adequate support and the paintbrush will tip or roll over, causing the bristle of the paintbrush to contact the surface. This is of course undesirable.
The present invention remedies the above problem by providing a support having two points of support that, together with a further point of support at the handle, provides sufficient support to allow the paintbrush to be laid down onto a surface without tipping or rolling over.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Thus, the present invention provides a support for a paintbrush in the form of projections from the paintbrush body. According to the invention, the projection provides at least two points of support, allowing the paintbrush to rest against those points of support, together with a point of support provided by the paintbrush somewhere along the handle. Preferably, the support is located at the head of the paintbrush, at the shoulder of the head close to the handle.
Still more preferably, the support furthermore comprises an arched flange, directed along the handle, which may function as a bucket holder.
