Abstract
Abstract A painter''s utensil combining a paint reservoir, a side flanged upslanting roller-ramp having a roller-retaining notch, an upper edge canted as a roller stop and a lower edge faired into the reservoir bottom; a dual brush-position clip for brushes forward in the reservoir, a ready-tray for putty and a tool storage compartment behind the ramp; and co-acting pivotal bails having interlocking looped ends for stability, with ladder hangers adapted to engage the loops.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A painter''s implement comprising: an open-top substantially rectangular container, a diagonally-upward disposed roller-ramp dividing the container into a fluid-tight paint reservoir forward of the ramp and a storage bin under the overhang of the rollerramp behind, the storage bin extending rearwardly a distance at least substantially equal to the rearward extent of the rollerramp, thereby preventing rearward overturn of the implement under roller-pressure on said roller-ramp, the top of the roller-ramp being more forwardly inclined than the roller-ramp, forming a roller-stop abruptly discontinuous in angle with the adjacent portion of the roller-ramp, for thereby preventing rollers which may be in use with said implement from upwardly over-running the top of the roller-ramp, the sides of the roller-ramp having flanges which join the sides of the roller stop, the container having a forward slanting front wall with a brush-clamp mounted in spaced relation thereto, the brush clamp comprising a transverse member with the ends forming laterally cantilevered jaws, and a bracket fixing the center of the transverse member to The container, the bracket being narrow relative to the transverse member, thereby providing space for vertical brushclamping at each jaw.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
A painter''s implement comprising: an open-top substantially rectangular container, a diagonally-upward disposed roller-ramp dividing the container into a fluid-tight paint reservoir forward of the ramp and a storage bin under the overhang of the rollerramp behind, the storage bin extending rearwardly a distance at least substantially equal to the rearward extent of the rollerramp, thereby preventing rearward overturn of the implement under roller-pressure on said roller-ramp, the top of the roller-ramp being more forwardly inclined than the roller-ramp, forming a roller-stop abruptly discontinuous in angle with the adjacent portion of the roller-ramp, for thereby preventing rollers which may be in use with said implement from upwardly over-running the top of the roller-ramp, the sides of the roller-ramp having flanges which join the sides of the roller stop, the container having a forward slanting front wall with a brush-clamp mounted in spaced relation thereto, the brush clamp comprising a transverse member with the ends forming laterally cantilevered jaws, and a bracket fixing the center of the transverse member to The container, the bracket being narrow relative to the transverse member, thereby providing space for vertical brushclamping at each jaw.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A painter''s implement as recited in claim 1, wherein the end of each jaw curves toward the front wall and wherein the bracket has a step proximate the front wall below the transverse member forming a supporting surface for horizontal storage of a brush in the jaws.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
161 words
A painter''s implement comprising: an open-top substantially rectangular container, a diagonally-upward disposed roller-ramp dividing the container into a fluid-tight paint reservoir forward of the ramp and a storage bin under the overhang of the roller-ramp behind, the storage bin extending rearwardly a distance at least substantially equal to the rearward extent of the roller-ramp, thereby preventing rearward overturn of the implement under roller-pressure on said roller-ramp, the top of the roller-ramp being more forwardly inclined than the roller-ramp, forming a roller-stop abruptly discontinuous in angle with the adjacent portion of the roller-ramp, for thereby preventing rollers which may be in use with said implement from upwardly overrunning the top of the roller-ramp, the sides of the roller-ramp having flanges which join the sides of the roller stop, the container having a forward slanting front wall, a rear wall lower than the front wall, and sidewalls, the sidewalls having a portion rearward of the roller-ramp which slants downward to the rear wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
161 words
A painter''s implement comprising: an open-top substantially rectangular container, a diagonally-upward disposed roller-ramp dividing the container into a fluid-tight paint reservoir forward of the ramp and a storage bin under the overhang of the roller-ramp behind, the storage bin extending rearwardly a distance at least substantially equal to the rearward extent of the roller-ramp, thereby preventing rearward overturn of the implement under roller-pressure on said roller-ramp, the top of the roller-ramp being more forwardly inclined than the roller-ramp, forming a roller-stop abruptly discontinuous in angle with the adjacent portion of the roller-ramp, for thereby preventing rollers which may be in use with said implement from upwardly overrunning the top of the roller-ramp, the sides of the roller-ramp having flanges which join the sides of the roller stop, the container having a forward slanting front wall, a rear wall lower than the front wall, and sidewalls, the sidewalls having a portion rearward of the roller-ramp which slants downward to the rear wall.
