A LARGE CAN FOR A BRUSHABLE COATING COMPOSITION WHICH IS CONVENIENTLY CLOSABLE BY A SCREW-THREAD LID

摘要

A LARGE CAN (1) SUITABLE FOR CONTAINING A BRUSHABLE COATING COMPOSITION OF THE TYPE APPLIED AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES TO SURFACES OF BUILDINGS AND WHICH CAN IS CONVENIENTLY CLOSEABLE BY A SCREW-THREAD LID (7) WHERE THE OPENING (2) INTO THE CAN IS PROVIDED WITH SCREW-THREADS (5) FORMED AROUND ITS EXTERNAL SURFACE AND A BRUSHWIPE (9) PREFERABLY COMPRISING AN EDGE (10) HAVING DIFFERENT CURVATURES (10a AND 10b) LOCATED IN A POSITION REMOTE FROM THE SCREW-THREADS. PROVISION OF THE BRUSHWIPE GUARDS AGAINST THE WIPING OF AN OVERLOADED PAINT BURSH ON AREAS OF THE OPENING FROM WHICH PAINT WIPED FROM THE BRUSH COULD RUN TO BLOCK SCREW THREADS AND SO MAKE USE OF THE SCREW-THREAD LID IMPRACTICABLE. THE CAN PREFERABLY ALSO CONTAINS A RE-ENTRANT REBATE (32) IN ITS SIDE WALL (37) TO PROVIDE A BRUSH REST (34) WITHIN THE CAN AND ALSO MEANS FOR GUIDING A USER OF THE CAN TO HOLD IT IN A PREFERRED ORIENTATION DURING PAINTING.
