Dependent claims

A tool bucket comprising:

a container having a bottom, a sidewall having a sidewall lower portion and a sidewall upper segment, the sidewall extending up from the bottom to a mouth, and a rigid collar extending along a perimeter of the sidewall parallel to yet spaced apart from both the bottom and the mouth, the sidewall being capable of expanding from a first position to at least a second position relative to the bottom,
a carrying handle having a body portion, a first junction, and a second junction, wherein the first junction securely attaches the carrying handle to the container adjacent the rigid collar and the second junction securely attaches the carrying handle to the container adjacent the rigid collar and spaced from the first junction, the body portion being capable of extending over the mouth of the container;
and
an adjustable component system including at least one of:
an adjustable hanging suspension system having a bag-suspending connector and an adjustable hanging suspension system, the bag-suspending connector being connected to the carrying handle, the adjustable hanging suspension system having an auxiliary member body portion extending between a first auxiliary end portion to a second auxiliary end portion, the auxiliary member body portion capable of being aligned with the carrying handle, the second auxiliary end portion defining a closed loop;
and the first auxiliary end portion secured to the handle body portion;
an adjustable sidewall support system having a first sidewall support connected to the sidewall upper segment adjacent yet spaced from the mouth, a second sidewall support connected to the sidewall upper segment adjacent yet spaced from the mouth and opposite the first sidewall support, the first sidewall support capable of slidingly engaging the carrying handle thereby sliding between a first position adjacent the first junction and a second position spaced apart from the first junction, the second sidewall support capable of slidingly engaging the carrying handle thereby sliding between a first position adjacent the second junction and a second position spaced apart from the second junction;
and
an adjustable tool belt support system having a series of belt loops radially spaced around the sidewall of the container, and each of the series of belt loops being fixedly connected to the container.
