Abstract:
1. An apparatus for delivering paint to a paint roller directly from a paint can with a compartment for holding a paint brush which comprises; a) a housing; b) means for securing said housing to an exterior surface of a cylindrical side wall of the paint can; c) a roller wiper component; d) means for mounting said roller wiper component on said housing to extend over the paint can so that after a roller cover of the paint roller is charged with paint contained in the paint can, excessive paint on the roller cover of the paint roller will be removed therefrom by said roller wiper component to safely drip back into the paint can, wherein said housing comprise; e) a stanchion having a curved rear to bear against the exterior surface of the cylindrical side wall of the paint can; f) a pair of upper curved arms, in which each said upper curved arm is integral with and extends from one opposite side wall near a top end of said stanchion to bear against the exterior surface of cylindrical side wall of the paint can; g) a pair of upper curved arms, in which each said lower curved arm is integral with and extends from one opposite side wall a lower end of said stanchion to bear against the exterior surface of the cylindrical side wall of the paint can, wherein said pair of upper curved arms and said lower curved arms will stabilize said stanchion against the exterior surface of the cylindrical side wall of the paint can, wherein said securing means comprises: h) said stanchion of said housing having a transverse aperture extending through said opposite side walls approximately midway on said stanchion; i) a strap sized to fit through said transverse aperture said stanchion and wrap about the exterior surface of the cylindrical side wall of the paint can; and j) a fastener on said strap for binding said strap about the paint can, further comprising a projection extending from said curved rear wall and near said top end of said stanchion, so that said projection will sit upon a rim of the paint can to prevent said stanchion from sliding down on the exterior surface of the cylindrical side wall of the paint can.
