Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially in a plane at right angles to the plane of the section of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, a conventional paint can designated generally I 0 comprises a cylindrical body ll formed at its upper end with an inturned flange l2, the inner periphery of which terminates in an annular trough 13 forming an annular channel M in which the conventional peripheral flange of a can top (not shown) is received for sealing the contents within the can.

These ears 26 cooperate with the foot 23 in forming a hook by which the grip [6 may be detachably engaged with the paint can 16 so that the latter may be lifted by the handle 15. Formed at the edge of the head 25 remote from its junction with the arm 24 is an upwardly extending flange or blade 21, the, upper edge of which is provided with an outturned lip 28 forming a scraper against which the bristles of a paint brush may be wiped to remove excess paint therefrom. The upper side of this lip also serves as a rest for the bristles of the brush while the handle of the latter may the handle l5 are discharged into the can In.
In use, the device is attached to the can as illustrated in the drawings, with the ears 26 engaging the bottom edge of the channel or trough l3 and the foot 23 engaging the outer side of the can In. The weight of the handle l5 will retain the device in positionon the can and obviously when liiting efiort is exerted on the hand grip IS, the device will fulcrum about the upper edge of the can so that thefoot 23 will bear with considerable pressure against the side or the can while the littingmoment on theihead 25 will be transmitted to the under side of the trough l3, thus forming a convenient handle by which the can may be readily transported. With the painting in'progress,;the user, in dipping the brush in the paint, merely-extracts the brush in such a manner as'to cause the bristles thereof to wipe against the outturned lip 28, so'that excess paint clinging to the brush will be drained back into the can. During periods of interruption'in the painting operation; the user may rest the brush as suggested in the broken lines in Figure 3 across the upper edge of the lip 28 and in the 'trough ll.
While in the foregoing therehas been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combinatlonand arrangementoi-parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of'the' inventionas claimed: r
