Abstract
A belt mounted paint and applicator holder apparatus adapted for stability and convenience comprising of a bucket portion, a top portion being nestable on the bucket portion upper open end, a pair of opposing toggle latches to cooperate with corresponding toggle latches on the bucket outer surface to form a clasped position wherein the bucket and top portion are nestled together, a buckle belt coupler having a pair of first vertical slots for insertion of a belt therethrough, and a quick-connect self-leveling coupling mechanism between the top and bucket portion, when in the clasped position, to maintain stability and self-leveling.
Claims5
A belt mounted paint and applicator holder apparatus adapted for stability and convenience comprising of:
- a bucket portion having a peripheral wall having an upper open end, inner surface, outer surface, and closed lower end;
- a top portion being releasably coupled to said bucket portion upper open end, said top portion having a front end, back end, interior surface, open top end and an open bottom end in fluid communication with said bucket portion, said top portion having a pair of opposing toggle latches on a peripheral lip between said front end and said back end to cooperate with a corresponding toggle latch on said bucket outer surface, forming a clasped position when said bucket portion and said top portion are coupled together, wherein said top portion open top end has an opening greater than opening on said open bottom end, and wherein said top portion includes an exterior surface peripheral lip that at least abuts said peripheral wall on said bucket portion when in said clasped position;
- a plurality of ridges on said interior surface of said top portion nearer to said open top end than said bottom end to remove excess paint from an applicator;
- a magnet disposed on said interior surface of said top portion nearer to said open top end than to said bottom end, wherein said magnet secures a paint brush having a metal applicator when not in use;
- a bucket belt coupler having a pair of first vertical slots for insertion of a belt therethrough and a raised surface disposed between first slots wherein said bucket belt coupler includes a second pair of vertical slots spaced apart from each other at a position further out from said first slots;
- and
- a quick-connect self-leveling coupling mechanism including a raised rounded knob on said raised surface of said bucket belt coupler and an inverted U-shaped flange on said back end of said top portion for pairing with said raised rounded knob to allow said top portion and bucket portion, when in said clasped position, the ability to rotate thereabout said raised rounded knob.
