Problems solved by technology

However, when the large areas are sufficiently covered, the edges and trims often require finishing using smaller tools for more detailed work.
These smaller finishing tools do not hold as much paint as the larger tools do, requiring more frequent trips to the bucket of paint.
Additionally, areas in which finishing is required can often be difficult to access, such as high up on a ladder near a ceiling and the like.
Keeping track of fluid supplies, such as paint, and other implements and returning frequently to the paint bucket can be inconvenient.
Specialty containers typically cannot be stacked to reduce the space used due to specialty interior structures.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Turning now to the drawings in which like reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout the several views, attention is first directed to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 which illustrate a painter finishing bucket generally designated 10. While bucket 10 is intended to be employed in various operations such as application of fluids like paint, varnish, polyurethane, etc., it will be understood by those skilled in the art that bucket 10 may also be used as a general use bucket in cleaning operations, maintenance, and the like. Bucket 10 may be fabricated in many manners, but a preferred method includes integrally molding the entire bucket 10 from plastic materials. While plastic materials are preferred, it will be understood that bucket 10 can be constructed of other materials such as metals, ceramics, etc.

[0015] Painter finishing bucket 10 includes a first vessel 12 having a continuous sidewall 14 extending from a periphery 15 of a bottom 16. Continuous sidewall 14...

Abstract

A painter finishing bucket includes a first vessel, a second vessel and a bridge member. The first vessel has a continuous sidewall extending from a periphery of a bottom and terminating in a rim. The bottom and sidewall define a volume accessed through an open top. The second vessel has a continuous sidewall extending from a periphery of a bottom and terminating in a rim. The bottom and sidewall define a volume accessed through an open top. The sidewall includes a flattened portion extending from proximate the bottom to proximate the rim and having an inner surface textured to form a paint roller surface. A bridge member coupled the first vessel to the second vessel and includes a grip extending from a bottom of the bridge. The grip defines a volume opening in the bridge.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to vessels. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to buckets and painting accessories. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Containers for carrying fluids have long been known, and in particular, buckets have been known for centuries. Fluids such as paint or cleaning fluids are often carried and applied from containers to such as buckets. When applying fluids to large areas, large containers are employed, and are often set in a specific area to which the applicator returns periodically. Large areas are typically covered using large tools which can hold a relatively large volume of fluid. This reduces the frequency of trips to the bucket containing the fluid. However, when the large areas are sufficiently covered, the edges and trims often require finishing using smaller tools for more detailed work. Often, additional implements such as paint rollers, brushes and removal sponges are required during the finishing of ...
