ABSTRACT:
A container for temporarily holding and storing a wet paintbrush will maintain the paintbrush in a useful condition for a limited period of time up to several days. The container has the shape of a hollow, substantially rectangular box. The container is formed from two shallow, rectangular members that are hingedly attached to each other along respective longitudinal edges of the rectangular members. The two shallow members open so as to allow positioning a paintbrush therein, and the shallow members can be closed upon each in clam shell fashion to close the container. An opening is provided in the top wall of the container to allow the handle of a paintbrush to extend from the container. Each shallow member has a layer of closed cell foam material positioned along the inside of the upper wall of the shallow member. The layers of closed cell foam material seal around the handle of a paintbrush when the shallow members move to their closed position with the handle of the paintbrush extending from the opening in the top wall of the container. A layer of open cell foam material is provided along the inside surface of the lower wall of each shallow member. The layers of open cell foam material absorb paint drippings from the paintbrush. The layers of open cell foam material can also contain a small amount of solvent for the paint.
