Brush dryer

Abstract

This brush dryer was created to help fine artists prevent their brushes from deteriorating due to water dripping into the wooden handles. It consists of a wooden or plastic bar upon which are glued or nailed 12 clothespins (wooden or plastic.) Two holes are drilled in the bar for mounting screws. The bar may be mounted to the edge of a shelf or directly to a wall. When used, the brushes are allowed to dry by their handles, so that cleaning fluid or water drips downward off the handles. The dryer is intended for use after the artist has painted and cleaned his/her brushes.

1 . A brush dryer, constructed of a wooden bar upon which are glued 12 wooden clothespins, that holds inverted, wet brushes by their handles, so that water or cleaning fluid drips downward off the bristles.
