ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting and sealed storage of paint utensils such as rollers and paint brushes inside conventionally used paint containers. The device features a containment cylinder having an end wall with an attached mount for the handle end of a painting utensil such as a brush or roller thereon and an open end configured to removably mount to the orifice communicating through the lid of a conventional paint container. The containment cylinder may be of fixed, telescopic, or a collapsible configuration and may be varied in dimension and mounting configuration to accommodate the mounting in a sealed environment of a variety of sized and configured painting utensils. The device allows for storage of painting utensils inside the sealed receptacle formed by the paint container and communicating containment cylinder when the lid is attached to the container. The containment of the utensils in the closed container eliminates escaping vapors from paint and varnish like liquids escaping into the atmosphere and keeps the utensil useable while preventing drying of the paint thereon. The painting utensils may be quickly mounted or dismounted for storage during short or long periods of non use eliminating unneeded cleaning of the utensil or the need to store it in a separate sealed container to prevent vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.
