Abstract
A practical article for carrying a paint bucket and paintbrush on the person of a painter so as to leave his hands free, having a lightweight rack portion to which the bucket and brush can be secured, a member supportable by a belt, and connecting means between the rack and member providing relative movement between them so that the weight of the bucket and rack maintains the bucket in an upright position as the painter moves about his work while damping its tendency to oscillate too freely, enabling increased productivity of the painter while making his work less tiring.
