I Application filed January 23', 192 8. Serial No; 248,628.
This invention relates to a paint can holder which may be readily secured to and removed from a paint can. I I i I,
In painting it is customary to hold the paint can in one hand while the paint brush" is held in the other hand, and the paint brush is commonly wiped upon the upper edge of the can to remove the excess paint. As a result of this practice of wiping the excess.
paint from the brush upon the upper edge of the can, the outside of the can is likely to become smeared with paint which soils the fingers of the hand grasping the paint can.
The larger paint cans are usually provided with supporting bails but these bails when not in use rest agalnst the side of the can where they are likely to become smeared with paint, furthermore it is not practical to provide the smaller cans with these bails as they would be in the way when the paint brush is dipped into the can.
Having in mind the foregoing, the present. invention relates to, a detachable paint can holder which can be readily" attached to a paint can to provide the same with a supporting handle which is disposed at one side of way of the paint brush.
One of the features of the present invention resides in the simplicity of the construction of the paint can holder whereby it may be manufactured at low cost. Another feature resides in the construction whereby the parts vofthe holder may be shipped flat to economize in the cost of shippingand storage. Another feature resides in the construction whereby the holder is extremely easy to attach to and remove from cans, while the handle, due to its-downwardlyextending brace,
forms a stable support for the can. Still another feature of theinvention resides in the construction and arrangement of the handle of theholder so that the paint brush when not in use may be positioned across the can so that the paint may drip from the brush into the can. This is a ccomplished by resting v the handle of the brush upon the handle of the support;
I of the-holder; and
canholder shown as applied to a paint can,
the latter being indicated in dotted lines;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of one of the elements Fig; 3. is a of theholder.
In the embodiment ofthe invention illustrated the entire holder is formed, of wire but it will be apparent that'other materials may be used.
plan view of, the other element The portion of the holder which embraces y the upper part of the can 10 and provides the handle is formed, in the construction shown,- by bending the wireto form'the can embracing loop ll having the handle 12 which is formed by placing the strands that extend} outwardly from the loop-side by side, and
these strands are preferably twisted about each other as shown to increase the stiffness of the handle.
The loop 11- should be large enough to per:
and in order to prevent the handle 11 from" canting or moving downwardly toward the side of the can while supporting the latter,
the handle is provided with the downwardly 1 extending brace 13 which is conveniently formed by bending a portion of the handle ,foriningstrands downwardly so that the lower end of the brace thus formed will rest against a side wall of the can 10. The lower end of] this brace is preferably given the forked construction indicated by 14 so that it will rest firmly against the curved wall of the can The twists imparted to the wires. forming the handle 12 and brace 13 may be omitted at the bend 1,5 to indicate the place at which the bend should be formed and'also to facilitate the bending of the wires at this point.
The can 10 is supported within the loop 11 of the handle by a bar 16 that is suspended from the loop 11 by the upwardly extending mit it tobe placed easily about theean 10, a
legs 17- the construction. being suchthat the bottom of the can 10 rests uponv the bar 16.
The upper ends ofthe legs17 are provided with the hooks 18which are shown opened a lOO sufficient amount to permit them to be freely engaged over the wire forming the loop 11.-
' It will be seen from the foregoing that the entire caniholdcr may be formed from two paint can the enter portion 13 of the wires 'and support the" can 10 may be bent downwardly by hand'to form the brace 13 shown Fig.1 and the 110013.18
may be placed over the Wire of the loop l l, whereupon the holder is ready to receiye Should it be desired to rest the lc an and holder upon a supporting surfaceduring av suspension of the painting operation,
'I claim:-- I detaehahle paint tan: holder constructed to embrace and support a paint'can, com prising; a. frame having a looped portion adiiptedwol slid'abiliy" emismce the upper part of paint can, an outwardly extending por-. tionfbrming a handle at one side of the can andlm'ying a brace that extends downwardly from the handle in'to engagen'ient with vat side of; the can, and, a bar sllspended' from; said looped; portion. and' constructed to form seat for the bottom oftheean.
