20130062477 | Brush buddy - To facilitate any painting task, painters have a variety of sizes of paintbrushes specifically designed for the job at hand. It is essential for painters to maintain several brushes to accommodate any painting job. Unfortunately, properly storing paintbrushes during use can often present a challenge. Many painters simply place their paintbrush directly inside the paint pail, or store the brushes upside down in an empty paint can. Storing the paintbrush in this manner can prove detrimental to the paintbrush bristles, often resulting in dried and matted bristles. Storing a paint brush upside down during use can also result in paint running down the brush and coating the handle in a hard to remove residue. The Brush Buddy's uniquely designed storage receptacle protects expensive paintbrushes and facilitates a clean and efficient working environment. | 03-14-2013 |

20110133041 | TOOTHBRUSH IGLOO SYSTEM - Toothbrush Igloo is an igloo-shaped device with an animal caricature on the top that holds a toothbrush in an horizontal position that allows users to easily apply toothpaste without requiring assistance. Users can store their toothbrushes and toothpaste in the rear compartment of the holder in between uses. When preparing to brush their teeth, users can place the handle of their brush into the horizontal opening that will secure the bristle end of the brush in an upright position, allowing for an easy toothpaste application. There may be small suction cups or other non-slip materials located on the device providing for secure placement on several locations. There may be an internal dividing wall between the rear compartment and front horizontal holder to prevent the toothbrush from being pushed too far back. The front holder is lined with rubber providing a more stable hold. During non-brushing periods the toothpaste dispenser and toothbrushes may be vertically stored. | 06-09-2011 |
20110198453 | COLLAPSIBLE DISPOSABLE TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER AND BLANK THEREFOR - Collapsible and disposable containers and stands, and blanks for forming such containers and stands, for holding and supporting toothbrushes, the blank being formable into either a flattened structure that can be expanded into the holder or into the expanded holder. | 08-18-2011 |

20140332642 | BRUSH SUPPORT DEVICE AND COVER - Cosmetic brushes are often transported within bags, purses, etc. To ensure long life of the same, cosmetic brushes should occasionally be cleaned and allowed to dry prior to next use. A brush support device may provide protection of bristles of cosmetic brushes during transportation, be configured to hold the brush in a bristles-down support configuration during drying and/or after use, and ensure uniformity as the bristles dry. The brush support device may include a gripping portion to grip a handle or a ferrule portion of the brush, a stand portion to support the brush in bristles-down position, and a vent portion in between the gripping and stand portions. By virtue of the vent portion, air is able to flow over and around the bristles to facilitate drying. | 11-13-2014 |
20150320264 | TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER APPARATUS - A toothbrush holder enclosure is provided which includes a three parts: a back plate, a resilient clamp and a front cover. The back plate and front cover form a housing. The clamp part has an inverted āUā shape and is made of a resilient material giving it a springy property. The clamp is shaped to urge two clamp arms towards one another in order for the clamp to grip a toothbrush. Two rollers at the tips of the clamp arms engage a toothbrush head inserted in the clamp as the clamp is spread apart from the clamped position to a deviated state. With the toothbrush inserted, the rollers exert pressure on a neck of the toothbrush to hold the toothbrush fast in place. The rolling engagement action of the rollers permits gripping toothbrushes having heads fitted with rubber sides. | 11-12-2015 |

The paint brush holder includes a bracket with a magnet attached to an upper bended end of an upward bracket limb and a clamp for easy device fastening atop of the open paint can rim. The clamp consists of a lever pivotally attached to the horizontal limb of the bracket and a fastener attached pivotally to the lever. Additionally, in the clamp locked position an axis of the fastener rotation is located lower than axis of the lever rotation to keep the device reliably locked on the paint can rim. | 02-05-2015 |
