Abstract
A paint bucket includes a housing having a trough defined therein for holding paint and/or paint accessories. The housing includes a pair of apertures defined in a back panel thereof that extend therethrough. Each aperture is disposed proximate an opposing side of the housing. A band is adapted to engage between belt loops on a pair of pants. A pair of selectively engageable loops is each configured to engage both a corresponding aperture defined in the back panel of the housing and the band to secure the paint bucket thereto such that the paint bucket remains upright as a painter navigates a ladder or a sloped terrain.

A paint bucket, comprising:
- a housing including a trough defined therein for holding at least one of paint and paint accessories, the housing including a pair of apertures defined in a back panel thereof and extending therethrough, each aperture disposed proximate an opposing side of the housing;
- a band adapted to engage between belt loops on a pair of pants;
- and
- a pair of selectively engageable loops each configured to engage both a corresponding aperture defined in the back panel of the housing and the band to secure the paint bucket thereto such that the paint bucket remains upright as a painter navigates a ladder or across sloped terrain.
A paint bucket, comprising:
- a housing including a trough defined therein for holding at least one of paint and paint accessories, the housing including a pair of apertures defined in a back panel thereof and extending therethrough, each aperture disposed proximate an opposing side of the housing;
- a flange operably associated with the back panel of the housing and including a pair of windows defined therein, each window disposed in substantial vertical registration with a corresponding aperture forming a corresponding window/aperture combination;
- a pair of s-shaped cuffs having opposing ends, each end of each cuff configured to engage a corresponding window and a corresponding aperture of a respective window/aperture combination;
- and
- a band adapted to weave around each corresponding cuff and around the flange to ultimately secure to a pair of belt loops disposed on a pair of pants such that the paint bucket remains upright as a painter navigates a ladder or across sloped terrain.
