Portable paint and tool container

A hand-transportable container capable of holding a quantity of liquid and a plurality of tools, said container comprising:

• (a) a bottom, said bottom being contoured to provide stable support for said container when said container is resting upon a flat and substantially horizontal surface
• (b) a front wall, an upper edge of said front wall, a lower portion of said front wall and an outer face of said front wall
• (c) at least one side wall, each side wall having an upper edge, a lower portion and an outer face
• (d) a rear wall, an upper edge of said rear wall, a lower portion of said rear wall and an outer face of said rear wall
• (e) a first lip formed by the combined upper edges of the walls
• (f) a reservoir located above said bottom and between the lower portions of the walls
• (g) a first opening which is defined by the first lip and combined upper edges of the walls, said opening providing access to said reservoir
• (h) a flange projecting outwardly from the outer face of at least one of the walls from a location within approximately two inches of said first lip
• (i) a first portion of said flange projecting out approximately horizontally from the outer face of the wall, an outer edge of said first portion being approximately straight
• (j) a second portion of said flange projecting approximately vertically downward from said outer edge of said first portion
• whereby the container can be securely supported by hooking the flange second portion over a horizontal edge as is found on the top edge of a door, the flange first part resting on the door edge supports the container weight, the flange second part holds the container in proximity to the door edge.

A hand-transportable container capable of holding a quantity of liquid and a plurality of tools, said container comprising:

• (a) a bottom, with an inner surface and an outer surface, said outer surface being contoured to provide stable support for said container when said container is resting upon a flat and substantially horizontal surface
• (b) a front wall, an upper edge of said front wall, a lower portion of said front wall, an inner face of said front wall and an outer face of said front wall
• (c) at least one side wall, each side wall having an upper edge, a lower portion, an inner face and an outer face
• (d) a rear wall, an upper edge of said rear wall, a lower portion of said rear wall, an inner face of said rear wall and an outer face of said rear wall, said rear wall being substantially planar and said rear wall being positioned on said container so that said rear wall is oriented in an approximately vertical position when said container is sitting on said bottom and resting normally on a horizontal surface
• (e) a first lip formed by the combined upper edges of the walls,
• (f) a reservoir located above said bottom and between the lower portions of the walls
• (g) a first opening whose perimeter is defined by the first lip and combined upper edges of the walls, said first opening providing access to said reservoir, a first plane is approximately defined by said first opening such that in a normally resting container with all walls of equal height said first plane will be horizontal
• (h) said first opening being inclined towards the front such that the first plane is approximately 15 to 45 degrees from horizontal, and such that the upper edge of the front wall is lower than the upper edge of the rear wall
• (i) a flange which projects outwardly from the outer face of at least one of the walls from a location within approximately two inches of said first lip, a plurality of holes are provided in said flange
• whereby a worker has ready access through the inclined opening to liquid material within the reservoir area and to tools stored in the flange holes.
