22 Container Attachment Abstract An attachment is disclosed for use on paint cans and the like. An annular rim guard having an outer wall connected to a sloping annular ring portion fits on the top of an open can. The annular ring portion covers a lid receiving groove at the top of the can. Integral securing members with downwardly directed C- shaped openings removably secure the rim guard to cylin- drically extending bail bearings of the can. Sealing flanges are integrally fixed to the bottom of the annu- lar ring portion to provide a sealing contact surface. Handle retaining parts integral with the annular rim guard hold a handle of the can in an upright position. A paintbrush holder comprising a receptacle with a brush receiving opening and a drain opening is fixed to the rim guard. A paintbrush is maintained in a substan- tially upright position in the brush holder. The drain opening is at the bottom brush holder receptacle and is positioned over the can opening to allow excess paint from a brush in the holder to drain into the interior of the can. A pouring spout is located in an outer wall of the brush holder from which paint can be poured. Paint guards are provided to help prevent paint from spilling out during paint pouring and to add reenforce- ment between the rim guard and the brush holder. An attachment is further disclosed which includes handle holding parts that maintain a paint can handle in an angular lock-back position toward the brush hold- ing member, and allow easier brush access to the inter- ior of the can while painting. A permanent grid feature is located across the drain opening at the bottom of the brush holding receptacle to prohibit small width brushes from entering the interior of the container.
