  • Patent number: 5695098
    Abstract: A spill and splash resistant safety paint bucket for supporting and transporting paints or other liquids is disclosed. The safety paint bucket includes a container for supporting the paint or other liquid and a self-closing lid constructed to be removably attached to the container. The container includes a belt clip attachment and shoulder strap attachment buttons so that the safety paint bucket can be attached to a belt or harness, or carried on an attached strap by an individual while maintaining both hands free to perform other tasks. The lid includes a fixed partition, a spring loaded flap, and a spring. When a brush or other applicator is inserted into the container through the top of the lid, the downward pressure applied to the brush or other applicator compresses the spring which allows the spring loaded flap to pivot away from the fixed partition. The opening thus created allows the brush or other applicator to reach the liquid contained below.
