Abstract
The paint storage container is a portable paint container designed to preserve individual daubs of paint for extended use. The container consists of a base (1) with multiple compartments (10) for holding paint, and a cover (2) that slides into side slots (4) to enclose the container. Each compartment (10) is shorter than the full height of the base (1), leaving an upper air space (9) that allows preservative vapor such as clove oil or water to circulate. The L-shaped cover (2) slides into the base's side slots (4) and seals the container on the top and front faces. When closed, the container prevents paint drying; when the cover (2) is removed, the open front side allows artists direct access to the paint.
Claims2
A paint storage container comprising:
- a base (1) having a bottom, a pair of sidewalls, a rear wall, and an open front side;
- a plurality of paint-holding compartments (10) disposed within the base (1), each compartment (10) having a height less than that of the base (1), thereby defining an upper air space (9) above the compartments (10);
- a cover (2) formed as an elongated L-shaped structure configured to slide laterally into opposing slots (4) in the sidewalls of the base (1), said cover (2) enclosing the top and the open front side of the base (1) when fully inserted, thereby forming a substantially sealed container;
- wherein the open front side of the base (1) permits direct access to the compartments (10) when the cover (2) is removed or retracted, and wherein the upper air space (9) allows vapor from a preservative substance to circulate within the sealed container above the compartments (10) to preserve paint (8) stored therein.
