AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a container for holding paint that can be used for home improvement or construction painting activities. The container allows the paint to remain upright without spilling, even when the painter bends their body. It also allows the painter to use their hands for other tasks while using the container. Overall, the container provides more efficiency and mobility for painters and handymen.

Problems solved by technology

Holding and carrying a paint can while painting presents a painter with certain problems not solved by the prior art currently available.
The paint bucket or can bale (handle) turns, interfering with the user dipping his or her brush into the paint container.
Holding the paint can by the pivoting can bale can be awkward and difficult, given its thin, metal wire construction.
However, the typical arrangement in the prior art does not allows for spillage or awkward use.
As well, some devices attach to a user's belt without the benefit of a pivot clip, carabineer or other clip; requiring prior, careful removal of the receptacle to avoid dumping the paint.
However, Bajuyo and other prior art paint can holder devices do not provide toggle-type latching clips or mechanism.
None of the prior art teach or suggest attaching a point can and bale with a toggle clip to a painter's belt or other garment.

Abstract

The invention is a paint can holder, allowing a painter to hold a paint container for easy access when painting, having a base with a ledge integrally formed to the base, securely conforming to a sealing lip of the paint can, and a handle with a pair of inwardly bent legs extending through the handle connecting the handle to the base and a pair of hinge connecting means. An over center clamping member connects to the hinge connecting means, allowing the handle to cause the over center clamping member to clamp the base to the sealing lip of the paint can. A connecting component threads through a clip hole in the base simultaneously attaching to a user's garment. The invention may be used for home improvement or construction to carry a paint and other articles, allowing the paint can to remain upright without spilling.
