Abstract
A novel paint can holder or hanger comprising a bar having a vertical body portion with a furcated lower end defining an inverted V-shaped paint can lip-receiving slot and having an inner leg adapted to extend into the open end of the can and an outer leg overlapping the outer side of the can. The inner and outer legs have opposing notches on their inner edges for receiving the inner and outer edges of the lip. The vertical body portion has on its outer side a bail-entrapping notch arrangement which serves as a fulcrum for the holder when the holder is lifted by handle at the upper end of the body portion, the handle extending to the axial center line of the can. A flexible tether is secured to the handle and is adapted to be looped over a rung of a ladder or the like.
