Abstract:
A device for storing at least one tube with a spray can, the can having an exterior surface, the exterior surface of the can having a cross-section, the device comprising:a sleeve, the sleeve havinga surface with material removed to define at least one cavity, the cavity adapted to receive the at least one tube, the sleeve further having a thickness, wherein the cavity extends through a first portion of the thickness and does not extend through a second portion of the thickness, where the second portion of the thickness has material removed to define a drainage hole extending through said second portion, the drainage hole having a diameter that restricts the tube from extending there through, and the sleeve further having at least one triangular protrusion projecting radially outwards from the sleeve, the protrusion adapted to aid in applying and removing the sleeve from the can, andresilient wings having opposing inner faces, the opposing inner faces definingan interior surface having a cross-section that conforms to, and is smaller than the cross-section of the exterior surface of the can,each resilient wing further having a free end wherein the free ends define a slot there between, wherein the slot has a width, the width being smaller than the exterior cross-section of the can such thatengaging the can against the free ends of the wings causes the wings to deform apart, thereby enlarging the slot to permit the can to pass there between and engage the interior surface of the wings as the slot width returns towards the original width of the slot.
