  • Patent number: 6241204
    Abstract: A paint bucket holder that holds a paint bucket firmly and securely is safely, securely, and removably attached to a hollow rung ladder. A paint bucket container, including a base, upright panel, and side braces, provides a seat and perpendicular support for the paint bucket. An elastic cincture encircles the paint bucket and secures it firmly against the upright panel. An arm support sleeve is rigidly attached to the front top edge of the upright panel, slightly above the lip of the paint bucket, restricting upward movement of the paint bucket, and containing and securing a rung attachment arm. The rung attachment arm is inserted into the selected ladder hollow rung recess, supporting the paint bucket holder, containing the paint bucket. The rung attachment arm is selectively positioned to either side of the paint bucket holder by sliding the arm within the arm support sleeve and is secured in place by an arm detent.
