20080237245 | CONTAINER HAVING A RELEASABLE HANDLE - A container is disclosed for carrying items via a releasable handle. According to one aspect, the container is formed as an assembly including a set of interconnected structural walls defining an enclosure, a through-hole formed in the enclosure, and a handle having a fixed end and a free end for coupling with the enclosure to form a looped handle. The enclosure has a first side, an opposed second side and an interior region, where the through-hole is formed in the first side of the enclosure. The proximal end of the handle is fixed with the second side of the enclosure and the distal end of the handle is configured for releasable coupling with the first side of the enclosure via the through-hole to form the handle into the looped configuration spanning between the first side and the second side for carrying the container assembly. | 10-02-2008 |
20150298496 | "The Paint Can-dle".TM. detachable, adjustable utility handle for quart size paint cans - The “Paint Can-dle™” is a unique, reusable, adjustable and versatile handle for quart size paint cans and more. Conventional pint and quart paint cans are typically sold without handles and while the pint size is easy enough for most people to handle, the quart size is larger and heavier which, when held for extended periods, often causes hand cramps and fatigue for many users. This inventive tool is comprised of a rigid handle, sized for quart paint cans, which attaches to a container with Velcro® like straps without need for bottom support. The handle includes a magnet for holding brushes etc. and the design allows can lids to be opened and closed while it is so attached, making the can easier and safer for everyone to handle, especially those with small hands or limited gripping ability. | 10-22-2015 |

20090065516 | Stay wet brush holder - A device for suspending a paint brush of different sizes into a paint can containing different levels of paint as the painting project progresses. This immersion enables the brush bristles to stay wet if the painting project is stopped for a period of time. This technique is usable for a gallon or quart size can, taking into consideration design changes for the appropriate size can. The use of this device will save time, cleaning materials and the costs related to them. The ability to move from one color to another on the same job is a plus factor as two or more holders are utilized on the same job, therefore eliminating clean-up procedures during the day. This device is easily used and maintained for all painting procedures using a brush. | 03-12-2009 |
