A holder for paint brushes, rollers, or the like including first and second clips each formed from a pair of legs supporting at a topmost portion thereof a coating implement support surface which is cantilevered out from and away from the container to which it is attached. Three walls of the support surface are bordered by upstanding walls, and an open end is provided for storage of the coating implement, the wall adjacent the container having a textured top surface for altering the amount of paint on the coating implement, a drain hole adjacent thereto extending through the support surface and communicating with a funnel for remigration of excess paint back into the container.

1. An improved holder for coating implements such as paint brushes, rollers, or the like comprising in combination: a support surface cantilevered and carried on a sidewall of the container having coating liquid therewithin, said support surface carried thereon by means of at least one pair of legs engaging opposed sides of the container wall, one leg having a downwardly declinated and canted orientation relative to a vertical wall of the container adapted to engage an inner face thereof, said other leg having a vertical section and an arcuate terminal portion adapted to engage an outer face of the container, drainage means on said support surface adapted to overlie said container, and a perimeter wall circumscribing seventy-five percent of said support surface, wherein said perimeter wall is continuous, said support surface is substantially rectangular in shape, and said perimeter wall circumscribes three edges of said rectangular surface, wherein one side wall of said perimeter wall overlies a portion of the container and includes means for altering the amount of coating liquid on the implement, and wherein said altering means comprises a crenelated top edge of said wall, including two pairs of legs defining two clips, and wherein said drainage means includes a funnel depending from a bottom face of said support surface communicating with a drainage hole through said support surface. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein two of said sidewalls are in spaced parallel relationship, a third wall interconnecting said parallel walls at a right angle thereto, areas of intersection between said walls having a rounded contour, and edges of said sidewall adjacent the open portion of said support surface having tapered contour. 3. The device of claim 2 wherein said support surface is contoured to facilitate migration of excess coating liquid to said drainage means. 4. An improved holder for paint brushes, paint rollers or the like whereby support of one of a plurality of implements is afforded by said device yet the mouth of the container upon which the holder is to be disposed remains substantially unoccluded, the device comprising in combination: first and second pairs of legs defining clips having legs adapted to be placed outside the container including vertical sections and terminal portions provided with an arcuate contour having tips adapted to abut against the container, so that said vertical legs remain parallel to and spaced from an outer wall of the container, another leg adapted to cooperate with each said vertical leg depending from a support surface and angulated towards said vertical leg so as to provide spring tension, said support surface oriented in substantially a horizontal plane and cantilevered away from an open mouth of the container, means on a top face of said support surface to support a coating implement including drainage means communicating with an interior of the container and a support wall associated with and circumscribing a portion of said support surface, wherein said support wall includes one aspect overlying a portion of the container providing it with a plurality of crenelations on a top surface thereof to modify the disposition of coating liquid on the coating implement, and a funnel depending from a bottom face of said support surface underlying said drainage means, said drainage means and said funnel dimensioned so as to allow coating liquid to pass therethrough without clogging, said funnel returning excess coating liquid back into the container. 5. The device of claim 4 wherein said upwardly extending sidewalls are provided circumscribing a portion of said support surface, said support surface being of substantially rectangular configuration and said support walls circumscribing three of the four edges associated with said support surface, an open area extending from an edge of said support surface to allow support of a paint brush or other coating implement thereon. 6. The device of claim 5 wherein said walls adjacent said open area are provided with a rounded surface so as to not provide sharp edges. 7. The device of claim 6 wherein the intersection of adjacent sidewalls are rounded to prevent inadvertent engagement with sharp corners. 8. In a holder for implements adapted to be placed on a container, support means for supporting said holder in cantilevered relation away from an open face of the container, means for altering the amount of coating liquid to be placed on a coating implement formed integral with said holder, means for facilitating drainage of excess coating liquid from said holder back to said container, said support means including first and second pairs of clips adapted to straddle inner and outer surfaces of a vertical wall of the container, said clips including a downwardly declinated leg and skewed relative to a vertical plane adapted to engage an inner wall of said container, and a vertical leg in radial registry therewith adapted to be disposed on an outer wall of said container having an arcuate terminal portion at a lower horizontal elevation than said first named leg whereby added mechanical advantages are provided by said arcuate tip and said longer leg to provide the cantilevered support, and wherein said drainage means includes a drainage hole in overlying registry with the container and funnel means for directing liquid through the drainage hole into the container formed on a bottom face of said support surface. 9. The device of claim 8 is circumscribed by perimetral wall on three sides thereof. 10. The device of claim 9 wherein one of said walls overlying said reservoir is provided with crenelations defining said means to alter the disposition of coating liquid on said coating implement.
