ABSTRACT:
A device is described for holding a paint brush or roller in wet storage in the sealed chamber of a container. The chamber is designed to hold a paint dissolving solvent which creates an atmosphere in which a paint ladened brush or roller remains soft and pliable until it can be thoroughly cleaned, or until it is reused. The device includes an open top container which is provided with a cover for sealing the chamber, within the container, from the ambient atmosphere. The cover, in turn, is provided with a relatively small opening from which a number of slits, cut through the cover, extend in radial directions. The slits form a plurality of flexible, pie-shaped segments which coact with the opening to readily adapt to receiving various size handles of the paint brush or roller. A unique, flexible seal is tightly wrapped in conical relation around the handle in covering relation with the opening and surrounding segments to seal the chamber and provide a support for the handle to maintain the paint brush or roller in a desired position within the chamber where the bristles of the paint brush and the roller of the paint roller are held in spaced relation from the bottom of the container free of any paint sludge which might settle on the bottom of the chamber. The seal, like the cover, is removably mounted on the container.
