Equipment and tool organizer

An organizer releasably attachable to a bucket having a rim and a handle comprising:

• an underneath surface adapted to fit to the rim of the bucket, said underneath surface comprising (1) a length with a first end shaped and positioned to allow the handle of the bucket to freely rotate to a position in a plane above the organizer from the first end side of the bucket when the organizer is attached to the bucket, (2) one or more attachment for releaseably securing the organizer to the rim, said attachment positioned on the underneath surface such that a second end of the length is cantilevered over the bucket, said one or more attachment comprising a lip formed to engage the rim and wherein at least one attachment has a tab connected to the lip to release the organizer from the rim, and (3) at least one stabilizer extending from the underneath surface at a point along a circumference corresponding to an inner wall of the rim of the bucket, said stabilizer having a rib corresponding to and engaging a groove cut into and extending perpendicular to the rim;
• a top surface opposite the underneath surface, said top surface comprising a plurality of substantially vertical partitions forming at least one compartment, said at least one compartment having a bottom having at least one of a solid floor and at least one opening;
• and
• a thickness that is relatively small in relation to the length of the underneath surface.

A releasably attachable organizer comprising:

• an underneath surface having an arc-shaped first end and generally linear opposite sides extending from each endpoint of the arc-shaped first end to a second end, said opposite sides extending the second end beyond a diameter starting at a midpoint of the arc-shaped end, said arc-shaped end and sides positioned to allow the free rotation of a handle of a bucket from the arc-shaped end side of the bucket to a position above the organizer when the organizer is attached to the bucket, said underneath surface comprising (1) one or more attachment having a lip, said one or more attachment positioned on the underneath surface at one or more point corresponding to a circumference continuing from the arc-shaped end such that the second end extends beyond the rim of the bucket to a point that prevents the handle from rotating to a position over the organizer from a side of the bucket over which the second end extends, and wherein at least one attachment has a flexible tab, and (2) at least one stabilizer, said stabilizer extending from the underneath surface at a position located along the circumference and having a rib;
• a top surface opposite the underneath surface, said top surface comprising a plurality of substantially vertical partitions forming at least one compartment, said one or more compartment having a bottom comprising at least one of a solid floor and one or more opening selected from the group consisting of substantially round, substantially rectangular and freeform, wherein the bottom of at least one compartment has more than one level such that a first level accommodates the base of a conventional square paint can and a second level accommodates the base of a conventional round paint can, and wherein openings are positioned over the interior of the bucket and over the exterior of the bucket, said opening over the exterior of the bucket accommodating a long object;
• a thickness that is relatively small in relation to a length of the underneath surface;
• and
• at least one cover operably connected to the thickness to move between a closed position wherein the cover overlies the top surface and an open position wherein the cover is away from the top surface to provide access to the top surface.
