ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes in one form an attachment for a conventional spray paint container comprised of an arcuately shaped receptacle having inner and outer walls and a bottom wall defining an arcuate chamber. An elastic band is secured to opposite ends of the receptacle to releasably secure the latter about the neck of the spray paint container with the inner wall of the receptacle in close fitting relation about the neck. The open upper end of the receptacle lies at an elevation flush with or below the upper edge of the container for collecting paint leaked between the container and its lid and/or from the vent hole in the lid. In one form, the receptacle extends about the neck for less than 180.degree. and slots are provided in the elastic band for receiving the diametrically opposed outwardly projecting pins carried by the neck of the conventional paint container. In another form, the receptacle extends circumferentially a distance greater than 180.degree. and slots are formed in the inner wall of the receptacle for receiving the pins. In a still further form, the receptacle is formed integral with the paint container. A cap is also provided in the vent hole through the lid of the container to deflect paint leaking from or blown out of the container through the vent hole onto the outer face of the lid for collection in the receptacle. In another form, an annular receptacle is carried on the underside of the lid. An aperture is formed through its inner wall and lies in communication through the annular chamber defined thereby with a pair of vent holes opening through the lid thereby isolating such openings and precluding paint leakage through the vent.
