Brush Drying Support and Method of Using Same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new brush drying support and method for drying brushes, on the support. The invention comprises a support, comprised of a structure with a generally planar top portion, disposed at an optimal angle for retaining and draining brushes. This top portion is covered with a gripping material that holds brushes placed directly on the support, without requiring further retaining means. The proper method for retaining and draining a wet brush occurs when a brush is placed on an angled top portion of said support, with the brush stem located above the brush head. Further, the brush head overhangs the bottom edge of the top (angled) portion of the support. This novel brush support, and method of drying brushes, provide several advantages over the prior art; namely, improved cleanliness of the brush head, preservation and longevity of the brush head, support of multiple brushes in a small space, and improved user accessibility to brushes. Further, the invention provides compact brush storage without slots, holes or bulky retaining means.
