ABSTRACT:
Storage devices for paint rollers, paint roller covers, and paint brushes. The storage devices for the paint rollers and paint roller covers are cylindrical containers, having a lid, which are flared outwardly at their upper portions and have a foam insert at the bottom for forming a spongy seal with the painting implement. The container for the cover has a core in it around which the roller cover fits. The lid, which can be either a screw down or a friction fit lid, has a foam insert on its underside to form a spongy seal with the upper part of the roller cover. The container for the roller and the lid, which must be a friction fit lid, each have a semicircular opening lined with a gasket. The mating of the container and the lid result in the formation of a circular opening through which the handle of a roller frame can extend. The paint brush holder is a rectangular-shaped container having a foam insert fitted to its upper portion. The exterior of the insert is sized to fit the container. The insert has an opening for holding a paint brush collar to allow the bristles to be in the container without touching the bottom. The insert keeps the brush wet and from drying out. The insert can be replaced with an insert having the same exterior size, which will fit the container, and a different sized interior surface, to hold another size of paint brush.
