Ladder supported container

A container for temporary disposal on a ladder;

• the container comprising:
• a bottom panel and an upstanding peripheral wall;
• the upstanding peripheral wall including a bottom portion attached to the bottom panel and a top portion;
• the upstanding peripheral wall extending upwardly from the bottom panel;
• the bottom panel and the upstanding peripheral wall defining the interior of the container;
• a lip disposed on the upstanding peripheral wall proximate to the top portion of the upstanding peripheral wall;
• the lip extending laterally outwardly from the upstanding peripheral wall;
• the lip including an outward facing rail contact surface;
• the lip having a width defining the distance the lip extends laterally outwardly from the upstanding peripheral wall to the rail contact surface and a length;
• the lip further including at least one pivot support;
• the pivot support disposed at a position intermediate the rail contact surface of the lip and the peripheral wall of the container at a spaced apart distance from the rail contact surface of the lip and the peripheral wall of the container;
• a bracket disposed within the at least one pivot support on the lip;
• the bracket including:
• a first section disposed within the pivot support and freely rotatable within the pivot support;
• a second section extending from the first section;
• and a third section extending rearwardly from the second section in a direction substantially parallel to the length of the lip;
• the third section disposed outwardly from the rail contact surface of the lip at a spaced apart lateral distance from the rail contact surface of the lip;
• the spaced apart distance defining a ladder rail receiving gap;
• the bracket freely rotatable within the pivot support from at least a first position where the bracket second section is supported by the lip;
• to a second position where the second section has rotated upwardly from the lip and the lateral distance between the third section and the rail contact surface has shortened;
• wherein the container is adapted for temporary attachment to a ladder having a ladder rail;
• and wherein upon disposal of the container on a ladder, the container is adapted such that the ladder rail is disposed within the rail receiving gap and the bracket is rotated to a second position wherein the ladder rail is pinched between the rail contact surface of the lip and the bracket third section, and the bracket third section rests atop a step of the ladder.
