Benefits of technology

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a means for cleaning excess paint from a brush prior to painting without getting paint in the rim.
[0008] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a modified can which is inexpensive to manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem that exists with the present can in that when paint is poured out of the can paint always ends up in the rim and when the lid is reapplied to the can great care must be taken to prevent paint from spattering when the lid is forced into the rim.
One other problem encountered with cans having the normal rim is that when the brush is wiped on the rim to remove excess paint, paint generally gets into the rim and it becomes difficult to keep the brush clean.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is closely related to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 531,669 filed Dec. 22, 2003.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates, in general, to an aid for painting and, more, particularly, the present invention relates to a paint can modification which makes pouring easier along with an insert for keeping the paint in the container when a brush is wiped to remove excess paint. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Paint cans have been used for years with hardly any modification to the can. Invariably paint cans have a rim around the circumference of the can wherein a lid is inserted to seal the can and prevent spillage. However, there is a problem that exists with the present can in that when paint is poured out of the can paint always ends up in the rim and when the lid is reapplied to the can great care must be taken to prevent paint from spattering when the lid is forced in...
