Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a bucket, and more particularly to a bucket having a bucket body and a plurality of fasteners.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A bucket is used to accommodate liquid for storage. When the liquid is poured into the bucket, a funnel is used to be inserted to the water inlet of the bucket and then the liquid is poured into the bucket through the funnel to prevent the liquid from leaking.
In order to save time, a water supply pump is provided to pour the liquid from a water supply system to the bucket through a water pipe. This not only saves time but also needn't use the funnel. It won't cause water leakage.
However, not every place has a water supply pump. If the water supply pump is required, the user has to take the water supply pump along. The water supply pump occupies a space and can't be stored easily.
Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve this problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a bucket. A water supply pump and a water pipe can be directly accommodated in an accommodation trough of a bucket body to be taken along with the bucket body anytime. Through a movable fastener which is disposed on the bucket body and can be detached to two pieces, the power cord of the water supply pump is detachably fixed by the simple structure and operation. It is convenient for use and storage. The present invention has a simple structure and the operation is convenient.
In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the bucket of the present invention comprises a bucket body and a plurality of movable fasteners. One side of the bucket has an accommodation trough for accommodating a water supply pump and a water pipe.
Each movable fastener has a male buckle and a female buckle to engage with each other. The male buckle is fixed on one side of the bucket body close to the accommodation trough. The male buckle has a first base and a plurality of protrusions. Each protrusion extends upward from the central portion of the first base. The protrusions are spaced at an equal angle. One end of each protrusion, opposite to the first base, is formed with a tapered shoulder. The female buckle has a second base, an annular buckle, and a holding member. The second base has an opening for insertion of the protrusions of the male buckle. The tapered shoulder of each protrusion is detachably connected to the opening. One end of the annular buckle is fixed to one side of the second base, and another end of the annular buckle is suspended and formed with a first hook. The holding member is disposed on the second base, close to the first hook of the annular buckle. One side of the holding member, close to the first hook, has a second hook. The first hook is detachably engaged with the second hook.
Furthermore, the annular buckle is detachable for fixing at least one power cord of the water supply pump.
The aforesaid object and advantage of the present invention can be understood by way of the description and drawings of the following embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the movable fastener of the bucket of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded sectional view of the movable fastener of the bucket of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an assembled sectional view of the movable fastener of the bucket of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing engagement of the annular buckle and the holding member of the movable fastener of the bucket of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing engagement of the annular buckle and the holding member of the movable fastener of the bucket of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the bucket of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the bucket 1 of the present invention comprises a bucket body 1 and a plurality of movable fasteners 3.
The bucket body 1 is a hollow container and has a water inlet 20. One side of the bucket 2 has an accommodation trough 21 for accommodating a water supply pump 100 and a water pipe (not shown).
Each movable fastener 3 has a male buckle 31 and a female buckle 32 to engage with each other. The male buckle 31 is fixed on one side of the bucket body 2 close to the accommodation trough 21. The male buckle 31 has a first base 311 and a plurality of protrusions 312. Each protrusion 312 extends upward from the central portion of the first base 311. The protrusions 312 are spaced at an equal angle. One end of each protrusion 312, opposite to the first base 311, is formed with a tapered shoulder 313. The female buckle 32 has a second base 321, an annular buckle 322, and a holding member 323. The second base 321 has an opening 324 for insertion of the protrusions 312 of the male buckle 31. The tapered shoulder 313 of each protrusion 312 is detachably connected to the opening 324. One end of the annular buckle 322 is fixed to one side of the second base 321, and another end of the annular buckle 322 is suspended and formed with a first hook 325. The holding member 323 is disposed on the second base 321, close to the first hook 325 of the annular buckle 322. One side of the holding member 323, close to the first hook 325, has a second hook 326. The first hook 325 is detachably engaged with the second hook 326.
Furthermore, the annular buckle 322 is detachable for fixing at least one power cord 200 of the water supply pump 100.
Through the aforesaid structure, the water supply pump 100 and the water pipe (not shown) can be directly accommodated in the accommodation trough 21 of the bucket body 2 to be taken along with the bucket body 2 anytime. Through the movable fastener 3 which is disposed on the bucket body 2 and can be detached to two pieces, the power cord 200 of the water supply pump 100 is detachably fixed by the simple structure and operation. It is convenient for use and storage. The present invention has a simple structure and the operation is convenient.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
