ABSTRACT:
A stackable, double-walled paint pail having a liquid tight receptacle formed by a generally U-shaped wall and a pair of nearly vertical side walls. The two side walls are spaced from each other by a distance greater than the length of a conventional paint roller. The branches of the U-shaped wall diverge upwardly from each other as do the paired side walls, allowing the pails to be stacked in a compact fashion. Except for the uppermost pail in a stack, each pail is partially disposed within a double-walled structure of the pail immediately above it. Surfaces of the pail across which a roller can be worked include a cylindrically-rounded section at the bottom of the U-shaped wall and a plurality of ridges. The ridges extend horizontally across the inner surface of the upper portion of each branch of the U-shaped wall, forming a pair of washboard-type faces over which a paint-laden roller can be rubbed to coat it evenly with paint. Further, the paint pail has slots for mounting a height adjustable, paint splatter shield and provisions for adding casters to the pail base. The shield includes a flat plate which extends horizontally both rearwardly and laterally from the pail. The height of the plate can be adjusted so that it rides atop any baseboard present and protects both it and the floor from being splattered when the wall above them is being painted.
