A container lid including for holding a painting implement suspended above or in a liquid such as paint. The container lid includes a container engaging periphery for engaging the periphery of the container. A lid web extends between the container engaging periphery and an handle receiving aperture which passes through the lid web. The handle of the painting implement is gripped from above the handle receiving aperture. The handle of the painting implement is gripped between two opposed walls extending upwardly of the lid web which are held in a substantially fixed position relative to one another by sides, the opposed walls are spaced apart to an extent that they exert a clamping effect on the handle of the painting implement when inserted therebetween.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An integrally formed plastics container lid for closure of a standard paint container in place of an original lid, said container lid including,a container engaging periphery, said periphery including container engaging means having an inverted groove into which the periphery of the standard paint container can fit, the inverted groove being undersized with respect to the container periphery so that it can snap fit over the periphery to effect an interference fit with the container when fitted thereto,a lid web extending between the periphery,a handle receiving aperture extending through the lid web and an implement gripping means disposed upwardly of the aperture,the implement gripping means totally enclosing a handle and comprising two opposed walls extending upwardly of the lid web, and sides holding the walls in a substantially fixed position relative to one another, the opposed walls being resiliently flexible and spaced apart to an extent to exert a clamping effect on a handle positioned through the handle receiving aperture,said implement gripping means tapered upwardly so the implement gripping means can be positioned through a handle receiving aperture and fitted into an implement gripping means of another equivalent container lid so that container lids can be stacked one partly within the other.
