  • Insulated floating AC/DC power pump minnow bucket
    Patent number: 5193301
    Abstract: A portable bait or minnow bucket comprises an inner bucket for holding bait designed to fit within an insulated receptacle. Two pumps, one AC and the other DC, are located in a water-proof enclosure in the receptacle. A vent tube provides air to the pumps. Upon actuation, the selected pump provides air through a nozzle in the receptacle and air bubbles rise through openings in the bottom of the bucket to aerate the water when the bucket is within the receptacle. The bucket, when removed from the receptacle, will float in the water.
