Dripless paint can construction

Abstract

“Dripless Paint Can” construction has perforated drip holes in the inner trough of the paint can ring. The ring is the section of the can that accepts the lid. When in place the lid seals the can. The holes in the inner trough allow the excess paint on the brush to drain down the inside of the can. Likewise the flood of paint when paint is poured from the can flows back into the perforated ring and back into the can. When the lid is back on the can it seals the inner trough and returns the can to its original integrity. Hence the dripless paint call.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . The development of a paint can with holes as illustrated on the previous page. This can will have perforations on the inner trough of the can allowing the paint to drip back into the can instead of running down the outside of the can. I claim that the lid properly replaced after use will seal the perforated can for storage.
