Flexible paint strainer

Claim 1

A disposable paint strainer, comprising a sleeve of limp, flexible readily deformable material impermeable to paint and thin enough to be folded flat and secured by a rubber band when not in use for straining and a flexible, readily deformable, paint straining perforate element chemically bonded and secured continuously around its periphery to the inner surface of said sleeve with the portion of the sleeve above said perforate element defining with said perforate element a pocket for receiving the paint to be strained, said sleeve being formed for manual gripping together at its top and manual squeezing to force paint from said pocket out through the bottom end of said sleeve, said perforate element being positioned in spaced relation to the end of said sleeve opposite to said pocket so as to cause said sleeve to provide a skirt extending below said perforate element for keeping the hands of the user from contacting paint forced through said paint straining perforate element.
