OLDER FOR BUCKETS Filed Nov. 8, 1937 Patented Jan. 30,
, e, HO DE F BUCKETSl.
-S r, Charleston, W. -va;, assignor of.
1 fl'rn'i's' "at-tam is "dream for attachment to a bucket, .by means of which the latter may be i suspended in a normally tilted position.
It is well knownthat painters working from a ladder usually suspend the paint bucket from a rung of the former. It has been observed that because of the position that the bucket normally occupies while in a vertically suspended position, there is hardly suificient space between the rungs of 'a ladderfor, the painter to get the brush into and out of the bucket, and it is also rather difficult as the brush is'being withdrawn from the bucket, to efiiciently wipe off taken up by the brush.
One of the objects of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned objections by providing a simple device which may be readily connected to and disconnected from a bucket and 'its supporting bail, and so constructed and arranged that said bucket may be normally held in an inclined or tilted position while suspended by the bail from a rung of a-ladder or other overhead support, with the open portion of the bucket directed toward the Workman. A further object is to provide a holding device having a portion so constructed and arranged as to be detachably anchored to a portion of the bucket and I a similar view taken at right angles to Figure 1;
also having a hook-like extremity capable' o-f engaging the bail of the ladder adjacent to the pivotal connection of the bail with the body of the bucket, so that relative pivotal movement of the bail and bucket is normally prevented during such engagement, and without rendering the bail useless so faras its normal suspending functions are concerned.
The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.
- In the accompanying drawing: t
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a typical bucket with the invention applied thereto, but disengaged from the bail of the bucket. Figure 2, is
Figure 3 is an elevation similar to Figure l'showing the holding device engaged with the bail of the bucket and the latter disposed .in tilted position. Figures 4 and 5 are enlarged vertical elevations taken at right angles to each other," showing the holding device detached from the bucket.
Referring to the drawing, I0 designates a bucket of any suitable material, but for purposes of. illustration, a typical metal paint-bucket is disclosed, the same having bosses ll extending outwardly therefrom at diametrically opposite positions, each boss being provided with acentral any excess paint one-half 'to Charles W; Gheslen Charlest'on,

3 Claims. (01. a20-.-9c 7 into a circle, the extremity of said end portion being provided with a radially offset anchor lug I6; Leading approximately tangentially from the body 15 is a straight arm H which is provided with a hook [8 at its upper extremity.-
Tat-tetra is provided with the In practice, the ring-like body I5 is of a diameter to fit around and rotatively engage one of the bosses II, in a manner to permit rotative adjustment of said body, and the offsetextremity [Bis sufficiently sharpened to be pressed into the metal of said boss at any position with in the range of said rotative adjustment, and in such manner as. to prevent rotation of the holder relatively to said boss. As shown in Figure 1, the offset extremity It has a fixed engagement with the bail boss II, but the hook I8 is disengaged from the handle. By moving the arm I! in a direction tending to wrap the body l5 around the boss, until the hook end has moved past the hail, the hooked end l8 may be engaged with the bail. Thereupon, the device I-I wil1 be placed under tension just as soon as there is any I relative movement of the bail to the, right; as
viewed in Figure 1. Therefore, upon suspending the bailfrom an overhead support,'the tension of the device under the weight of the bucket and its contents will cause the bucket toassume the angular position illustrated in Figure 3.
The advantages of the invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it belongs. For instance, while the bucket is suspended irom the rung of a ladder, or from some. overhead position, the open end of the bucket is directed'toward the workman and he has a great deal more space through which to manipulate his brush with respect to dippingv it into the paintand wiping on" any excess paint. A further advantage isthat the device is exceedingly simple in construction and of such a nature that it may be readily attached to paint buckets already constructed, or it may be rea d' ily attached to newly manufactured buckets, if
desired;
Having thus explained the nature of the invention and described an operative manner of constructing and using the same, although without attempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may be made, or all of the forms of its use, what is claimed is:
1. The combination with a bucket having a Y bail boss and a bailhaving one of its ends pivotally connected with said boss,-of a holder consisting of a single piece of wire provided with a ring-like portion having at one end an in-. wardly extended radial projection adapted to I fixedly engage said boss at any position around the circumference thereof; the other end oi said body being provided with a-tangentially disposed ar'm provided with a hook portion adapted to engage said bail.
2. A device for holding "buckets in tilted 5d sition while suspended from the'bail thereof, said device consisting of a ring-like body portion so shaped as to rctatively encircle a bail boss on the bucket, said bodyha'ving its inner end provided with a'radially inward proj ti adapted, to fixedly engage said boss at any positionjf around the circumference thereof theother end of said body portion having means to removably engage said bail.
H3. .A device for holding buckets in tilted position while suspended from the bailthereof, said f v shaped as to encircle and'rotatively engage a bail Y boss on the bucket, said body having an in- M device consisting of a ringelike body portionviso Wardly projected radial arm provided with a pointed adapted to fixedly engage the periphery of, said boss at any position on'the cirbail.
