Bucket lifting device

A bucket lifting device for facilitating lifting and tipping of a bucket, said device comprising:

• a sleeve receiving a bottom end of the bucket, wherein said sleeve extends around a portion of the bucket, said sleeve including a pair of terminal ends defining a split therebetween to permit expansion and contraction of said sleeve to accommodate buckets of varying sizes, said sleeve including a base wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said base wall, said base wall abutting the bottom end of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket, said peripheral wall extending along the portion of the bucket when the bottom end of the bucket abuts said base wall;
• a handle being hingedly coupled to said sleeve, said handle being graspable to facilitate lifting and tipping of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket, said handle being positioned diametrically opposite said split in said sleeve;
• a latch assembly being coupled to said sleeve, said latch assembly being actuated to compress said sleeve against the bucket to secure said sleeve to the bucket, said latch assembly comprising;
• a receiving nub being coupled to said peripheral wall adjacent one of said terminal ends;
• a lever being hingedly coupled to said peripheral wall adjacent one of said terminal ends and positioned across said split from said receiving nub;
• and
• a cinching ring being pivotally coupled to said lever, said cinching ring being extended across said split and extending around said receiving nub, said cinching ring drawing said terminal ends together to compress said sleeve around the bucket when said lever to pivoted towards said sleeve.
