A paint carrying receptacle and paint carrying device for transporting a multiplicity of paints within a cohesive, compartmented arrangement while maintaining the paints separate pending their application. The receptacle has a generally planar first side wall, a generally planar second side wall, an arcing third side wall, and a bottom wall all mutually sealingly engaged to form a liquid-tight wedge of a cylinder whereby a multiplicity of similar receptacles may be juxtaposed to for a generally cylindrical receptacle arrangement. The receptacles may approximate selected wedges of a cylinder such as one-half, one-third, or one-quarter cylinders. The paint carrying device has a bottom wall, at least one side wall sealingly engaged with and extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom wall, and at least one irremovable and sealingly engaged dividing wall for dividing an inner volume of the device into at least two permanently separate compartments. The receptacle and carrying device may include corrugated lips for removing excess paint from a paint brush and C-shaped members for releasably retaining paint brushes.
A paint carrying receptacle for use in combination with at least one other similar receptacle for maintaining a multiplicity of paints separate within a compartmented receptacle arrangement, the receptacle comprised of a generally planar first side wall, a generally planar second side wall, an arcing third side wall, and a bottom wall;
A kit of paint carrying receptacles for maintaining a multiplicity of paints separate within a compartmented receptacle arrangement wherein each receptacle is comprised of a generally planar first side wall, a generally planar second side wall, an arcing third side wall, and a bottom wall;
A compartmented paint carrying device for maintaining a multiplicity of paints separate within the device, the device comprised of a generally rigid container having a bottom wall, at least one side wall having an inside face and sealingly engaged with and extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom wall, a top opening, an open inner volume, and at least one irremovable dividing wall sealingly engaged with the at least one side wall and the bottom wall for dividing the open inner volume of the paint carrying device into at least two permanently separate compartments wherein the at least one irremovable dividing wall is generally planar and at least meets with a center axis of the device and wherein the at least one dividing wall has a height that declines downwardly from the center axis of the device to the at least one side wall.
