Abstract: A tray for use in conjunction with a ladder bracket includes a plurality of upwardly opening compartments that may be used to hold paint, tools, or other painting supplies or implements. The bottom of the painter's tray is provided with structural features to engage a ladder bracket. A pair of downwardly opening channels are formed in the bottom surface, the channels being continuous, concentric, and curved in circular fashion to receive the hoop portion of two common sizes of ladder brackets. Both channels open to a slot opening that receives the tang portion of the ladder bracket. A plurality of tab members are mounted on posts extending downwardly from the bottom of the tray, and are rotatable to extend over the channels and secure a ladder bracket hoop portion therein.

Abstract: An adapter for a ladder bracket support for a paint container includes a channel member having a central web portion flanked by a pair of side web portions. The central web portion is raised slightly with respect to the side web portions, and a curved tongue extends from a proximal end of the central web portion. A rectangular tube is secured to the bottom of the central web portion, extending generally perpendicularly downwardly. A locking pin extends laterally through aligned holes in the side walls of the channel portion. The curved tongue extends about a tubular member of a scaffolding, with the channel member extending outwardly and horizontally. The rectangular tube extends downwardly to engage a lower tubular member and maintain the channel member extending horizontally.
