  • Portable seat for a pail
    Patent number: 5938276
    Abstract: A seat for a substantially cylindrically-shaped pail having a pail opening, a pail lip adjacent the opening, and a hollow compartment inside the pail is disclosed. The seat comprises a platform for seating a person when the seat is mounted on the pail and grooves formed by walls on opposite sides of the platform. The grooves fit on the pail lip when the seat is in use. The seat has a width substantially less than a diameter of the pail opening so that a person seated on the platform can reach between the platform and the pail lip to remove or insert hand tools. The seat also fits into the pail when not in use. The seat has ribs on its bottom side for strengthening purposes.
