ABSTRACT:
A convenient, easily transportable holder for a large number of artists' paintbrushes of various sizes and diameters arranged for ready-access by the artists. The holder has a base of sheet metal with a top and sides which provides support for a spiral band along the top. The sides may be so dimensioned or angularly oriented with respect to the top so that the top is canted at an acute angle to the surface of a support of table on which the edges of the sides rest. The paintbrushes are held by friction fit because of the spring-like characteristics of the band between the turns of the spiral, notwithstanding that the brushes may be of different diameter. The artists may readily insert or remove one or more of the multiplicity of brushes for use while the others remain between the spiral turns of the band. The holder may have one side which defines with the top, a clip so that the holder is receivable over the edge of an artist's palette. A retaining rod holds the spring between the inside of the top and turns of the spring which project through angled slots cut into the top alignment with the spiral turns of the band.
