Abstract: A bucket that provides a way to easily pull or push, by having less friction and resistance. The bucket has an approximately two inch round high center bottom that helps minimize contact with a surface. As the bucket becomes heavier with water, the bucket becomes more stable by nesting on the raised center diamond shape and onto a circular, quartered gaped, rounded top, inside ridge. The bucket acquires maximum stability and max friction when heaviest by nesting onto the quartered gaped rounded top outside ridge which slopes down to the buckets bottom edge of the outside wall. The rounded top bottom channels allow surface material to move through the gaps, but also will not allow water to collect on the bottom. The bucket has handles and hooking holes for the easy pushing and pulling over surfaces when heavy.

Abstract: My idea is for a new 5 gal. plastic utility bucket that can be used safely in hydroponics. My idea is for a new safer utility bucket that is easily pulled with the hand, rope or a lanyard, and can be easily pushed near the bottom with a foot, stick or a pole grabber when heavily loaded. My newly designed bucket bottom enables my bucket to slide over carpets, concrete, and other rough surfaces making close working or long pulling of my bucket easier and safer to work with. My new bottom design will not hold water, and will slowly wear down from the center diamond out to the slightly lowering inside and outside ridges. My bucket will tilt and fall over when empty when a weight is placed on the bucket top near the edge, and can be pushed over easier at the top than a normal 5 gal. bucket due to the lipped bottom edge and when heavy with water. I am hopeful that this bucket design will be safer around children if one was to fall into a bucket.
