Abstract (en)
There is provided apparatus for retaining liquid for cleaning brushes. The apparatus comprises: a first receptacle means (20; 120) for retaining liquid; a second receptacle means (22; 122) for retaining liquid when the second receptacle means (22; 122) is in a first disposition, and for receiving an end of a brush for cleaning in the liquid; and mounting and operating means (30a, 30b, 32; 130a, 130b) for mounting the second receptacle on the first receptacle means so that the second receptacle is in the first disposition. The mounting and operating means is also for operating the apparatus to reconfigure the second receptacle to a draining disposition in which liquid in the second receptacle means drains into the first receptacle means, and to return the second receptacle means to the first disposition. The first receptacle is configured to retain more liquid than the second receptacle. Thus, the apparatus can be used to drain liquid that has been used in brushing from the second receptacle (22; 122) and the second receptacle means (22; 122) can be refilled and then used to clean another brush.
