simple brush drying method

By upside-down, I'm guessing you mean bristles down. (I'd call that right side-up, but whatever.) I seem to recall a brush cabinet with these or similar installed, to grip the small diameter handles.
(One would need to install it upside-down from the picture, so that gravity helped to pull the jaws closed.) This device, but much smaller.
Alternatively, perhaps a wire of some sort could be wrapped the fitch's handle, to create a temporary hanger.

Brush spinners work great if your goal is to cover everything around you in a nice fine splatter of random paint soaked water.
You could also build a drying rack. Build a few 1'x2' frames out of 1x1 or something like that. Stretch and staple windows screen to the frame. Attach the frames to some 1x3 to makes "shelves". This will allow the fitches to drip dry without them just soaking in their own water. If the brushes you are working with are small enough to not be able to hang, this is the next best option.

My guys just leave them soaking in water until I get a chance to clean them, or throw them away as the case may be....
Seriously I used to have a 'Order holder' from a diner, we wrapped a big strip of ribber around it and just stuck them under it. I guess you could just use the 'clippy thingys' < technical term, Derek can you get that in the Wikki ? Thanks> to hold them. ...
