Description
- This invention relates to vessels.
- More particularly, the present invention relates to buckets and painting accessories.
- Containers for carrying fluids have long been known, and in particular, buckets have been known for centuries. Fluids such as paint or cleaning fluids are often carried and applied from containers to such as buckets. When applying fluids to large areas, large containers are employed, and are often set in a specific area to which the applicator returns periodically. Large areas are typically covered using large tools which can hold a relatively large volume of fluid. This reduces the frequency of trips to the bucket containing the fluid. However, when the large areas are sufficiently covered, the edges and trims often require finishing using smaller tools for more detailed work. Often, additional implements such as paint rollers, brushes and removal sponges are required during the finishing of a painting project or other project requiring the use of a container. These smaller finishing tools do not hold as much paint as the larger tools do, requiring more frequent trips to the bucket of paint. Additionally, areas in which finishing is required can often be difficult to access, such as high up on a ladder near a ceiling and the like. Keeping track of fluid supplies, such as paint, and other implements and returning frequently to the paint bucket can be inconvenient.
- Additionally, in the world today, shipping of large quantities of items is almost essential for successful distribution. Therefore, the ability to collect a plurality of items into a small space is highly desirable. Thus, stacking hate becomes an important consideration. Specialty containers typically cannot be stacked to reduce the space used due to specialty interior structures.
- It would be highly advantageous, therefore, to remedy the foregoing and other deficiencies inherent in the prior art.
- Briefly, to achieve the desired objects and advantages of the instant invention in accordance with a preferred embodiment thereof, provided is a painter finishing bucket including a first vessel having a bottom, a continuous sidewall extending from a periphery of the bottom and terminating in a rim. The bottom and sidewall define a volume accessed through an open top defined by the rim. A second vessel has a bottom, a continuous sidewall extending from a periphery of the bottom and terminating in a rim. The bottom and sidewall define a volume accessed through an open top defined by the rim. The sidewall includes a flattened portion extending from proximate the bottom to proximate the rim, an inner surface of the flattened portion of the sidewall being textured to form a paint roller surface. A bridge member has a first end coupled to the sidewall proximate the rim of the first vessel and a second end coupled to the sidewall proximate the rim of the second vessel. A grip extends from a bottom of the bridge intermediate the first vessel and the second vessel. The grip defines a volume therein and has an opening accessing the volume. The opening originates in a top of the bridge.
- In another aspect of the invention the painter finishing bucket includes the bridge having opposing sidewalls extending from the first end to the second end forming a trough. The trough communicates with the volume of the first vessel at the first end by a depression of the rim of the first vessel. The trough abuts the flattened portion of the sidewall proximate the rim of the second vessel.
- The foregoing and further and more specific objects and advantages of the instant invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a finishing bucket according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a rotated perspective view of the finishing bucket ofFIG. 1 with accessories carried thereby; -
FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the finishing bucket ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a side plan view of the finishing bucket ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the finishing bucket of FIG. - Turning now to the drawings in which like reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout the several views, attention is first directed to
FIGS. 1, 2 , 3, 4, and 5 which illustrate a painter finishing bucket generally designated 10. Whilebucket 10 is intended to be employed in various operations such as application of fluids like paint, varnish, polyurethane, etc., it will be understood by those skilled in the art thatbucket 10 may also be used as a general use bucket in cleaning operations, maintenance, and the like.Bucket 10 may be fabricated in many manners, but a preferred method includes integrally molding theentire bucket 10 from plastic materials. While plastic materials are preferred, it will be understood thatbucket 10 can be constructed of other materials such as metals, ceramics, etc. -
Painter finishing bucket 10 includes afirst vessel 12 having acontinuous sidewall 14 extending from aperiphery 15 of abottom 16.Continuous sidewall 14 terminates in arim 18, and, along withbottom 16, defines avolume 20.Volume 20 is accessed through anopen top 22 defined byrim 18.Sidewall 14 extends from theentire periphery 15 ofbottom 16 completely enclosingvolume 20 other than atopen top 22, allowing for the retention of fluids therein. - A
second vessel 30 includes acontinuous sidewall 34 extending from aperiphery 35 of abottom 36.Continuous sidewall 34 terminates in arim 38, and, along withbottom 36, defines avolume 40.Volume 40 is accessed through anopen top 45 defined byrim 38.Sidewall 34 includes aflattened portion 42 extending fromproximate bottom 36 toproximate rim 38. Aninner surface 43 offlattened portion 42 ofsidewall 34 is textured to form a paint roller surface for facilitating the removal of excess paint from a roller. It will be understood that various textures can be employed, but in the preferred embodiment includes rows of raised chevron shaped protrusions. Flattenedportion 42, and thus,inner surface 43 ofsidewall 34 is sloped to provide an acceptable surface upon which to roll a roller for removal of excess paint.Sidewall 34 adjacent edges offlattened portion 42, extends longitudinally outwardly therefrom to provide additional space for a paint roller.Sidewall 34 extends from theentire periphery 35 ofbottom 36 completely enclosingvolume 40 other than atopen top 45, allowing for the retention of fluids therein. One ormore spouts 48 can be formed insidewall 34 atrim 38 to permit pouring of fluids fromvolume 40. - A
bridge member 50 couplesfirst vessel 12 tosecond vessel 30.Bridge 50 has afirst end 52 coupled tosidewall 14proximate rim 18 offirst vessel 12 and asecond end 53 coupled tosidewall 34proximate rim 38 ofsecond vessel 30. In a preferred embodiment,bridge member 50 includesopposing sidewalls base 56.Sidewalls first end 52 tosecond end 53.Base 56 andsidewalls first vessel 12 andsecond vessel 30. The trough communicates withvolume 20 offirst vessel 12 atfirst end 52 by adepression 58 formed inrim 18. Thus, fluids onbase 56 within the trough can enterfirst vessel 12. -
Second end 53 ofbridge member 50 is coupled flattenedportion 42 ofsidewall 34proximate rim 38 ofsecond vessel 30. Thus, the trough abutssecond vessel 30 and fluids onbase 56 within the trough cannot entersecond vessel 30 assidewall 34 prevents fluid communication.Bridge member 50 is preferably coupled tosecond vessel 30 at flattenedportion 42 to provide overall balance to finishingbucket 10. Wheninner surface 43 of flattenedportion 42 is employed to remove excess paint from a roller,bridge 50 andfirst vessel 12 function to counteract and stabilizebucket 10 against the force of the paint roller. One skilled in the art will understand that whilesecond end 53 ofbridge member 50 is preferably coupled to flattenedportion 42 ofsidewall 34 it is feasible thatsecond end 53 can be connected to other portions ofsidewall 34 instead. - As can be seen in the preferred embodiment illustrated,
rim 18,rim 38 andsidewalls bucket 10. The peripher of the combined rims is larger than the periphery at thebottoms base 56. The various sidewalls taper slightly outwardly from the respective bottom to the associated rims. This enlargement at the top permits nesting of onebucket 10 within anotherbucket 10. In this manner,multiple buckets 10 can be stacked for storage or transport. - A grip 60 extends from a bottom 62 of
bridge member 50 intermediatefirst vessel 12 andsecond vessel 30. Grip 60 defines avolume 63 therein. Anopening 64 provides access tovolume 63 for purposes which will be described presently.Opening 64 originates in a top ofbridge member 50. In the preferred embodiment, opening 64 is formed throughbase 56 betweensidewalls first vessel 12 andsecond vessel 30. - Referring specifically to
FIG. 2 , finishingbucket 10 is utilized with a finishingpaint brush 70 carried infirst vessel 12, a finishingroller 72 carried insecond vessel 30, and aremoval sponge 74 carried involume 63 of grip 60.
