Paint brush

A paint brush having an integrated hanger assembly for hanging the paint brush on an object. The hanger assembly may be discrete with respect to at least the upper elongated portion of the handle, and may be provided as an insert assembly in a pocket of the handle. The hanger assembly includes a body part having a surface groove, and a hanger hinged to the body part for enabling the hanger to pivotably move between a retracted position stowed in the surface groove, and an extended position extending from the surface groove for hanging the paint brush from the object. A connection portion of the hanger may include laterally spaced apart arms and a pivot rod extending between the laterally spaced apart arms to form a connection loop. A connector may interloop with the connection loop to connect the hanger to the body part.

Paint brush with integrated hanger and packaging therefor

A paint brush having a handle with an integrated hanger that is pivotably movable between a retracted position for stowing the hanger within a groove of the handle, and an extended position for extending the hanger outwardly from the groove to hang the paint brush on an object. When stowed in the retracted position the hanger may be flush with an outer surface of the handle to enhance the ergonomic design. The hanger and groove may be configured to enable ease of deployment of the hanger from the retracted to extended position simply with a one-handed operation. The portion of the handle having the groove may be made of a flexible material which may better secure the hanger in the groove when stowed and/or may facilitate installation of the hanger. The handle may include a grip portion having the flexible material which is over-molded onto a rigid head portion.
