Abstract

A protector for protecting paint brushes and paint rollers having paint thereon comprises a main body made from a flexible material and having a hollow interior for receiving the head portion of a paint brush or the roller portion of a paint roller therein. A first opening permits a paint brush or paint roller to pass therethrough. A self-sealing plastic strip seals the first opening to preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior of the main body through the first opening. A second opening is disposed in opposed relation to the first opening, for permitting the handle of a paint brush or paint roller to be received therein. Tape is used to selectively seal the second opening when the handle of a paint brush or paint roller is received therein, to preclude paint from escaping from the substantially hollow interior of the main body through the second opening.

Indeed, it is actually quite a time consuming and onerous task to thoroughly and properly clean a paint roller or paint brush. [0003] Further, during the use of a paint roller, and especially a paint brush, it is common for a person, especially an occasional painter, to have paint run down the handle of the brush and onto the person's hand, which is highly undesirable.
