A novel paint brush holder for holding a plurality of paint brushes in a bucket is described. The paint brush holder is of generally planar construction and has a resilient ring member which resiliently engages the inner wall of the paint bucket when in use and which is resiliently inwardly flexible to remove the paint brush holder from and to insert the paint brush holder into the paint bucket. Radially-inwardly directed prongs are provided as paint brush supports and a radially-inwardly directed wiping bar also is provided.

A paint brush support for removable insertion into a container having an internal diameter, comprising: frame means dimensioned to be located within said container and comprising a ring member which is located in a plane and which is resiliently deformable from a first diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of the container at the location of insertion therein to a lesser diameter to permit said paint brush support to be inserted into and removed from said container and to be mounted in said container with said ring member resiliently engaging an inner wall of said container, paint brush holder means in the form of a plurality of elongate prongs mounted in fixed relation to and extending radially inwardly from said ring member to a free end and dimensioned to be received at said free end through openings in paint brush handles to support paint brushes thereby in a substantially vertical orientation, bar means mounted in fixed relation to and extending radially inwardly from said ring member in said plane to a free end to act as a scraping bar for removal of excess paint from a brush, and a pair of arms integrally formed with said ring member and extending generally radially inwardly in said plane from circumferential ends of said ring member to free ends adjacent one another to permit said pair of arms to be gripped and to be drawn towards each other to effect said resilient deformation of said ring member to said lesser diameter.
