Embodiment Construction

As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the present invention includes a movable bucket dolly 1 with an upwardly extending side edge 2, about 3 to 5 inches high, with an inner surface 3 which conforms to the size of the outer diameter edge 4 of a standard five gallon bucket 5 having a bottom edge 6.

Bucket dolly 1 further includes base 7 with platform portion 8 to hold bottom edge 6 of bucket 5, and a plurality of wheeled portions 9, to enable a worker to move around whatever materials the worker is working with, without having to manually pick up bucket 5 in order to move bucket 5.

Tightening means 10, which are provided through upwardly extending side edge 2 of bucket dolly 1, prevent bucket 5 from tipping as bucket dolly 1 is being pushed or pulled.

Optional additional wheeled portion 9 can be added to distribute the weight load of the contents of the material of bucket 5 more evenly. Wheels or castors 11 of wheeled portion 9 can be raised or lowered to lower the center of gravity, to help avoid tip...

Abstract

The present invention includes a dolly with an upwardly extending edge about 3 to 5 inches high, that generally conforms to the size of a standard five gallon bucket. The purpose of the invention is to be able to push around whatever materials one is working with, without having to pick the bucket up to move it. The upwardly extending edge on the dolly prevents the bucket from tipping as it is being pushed or pulled. Also, additional wheels can be added to distribute the weight load more evenly, and the wheels can be raised or lowered to lower the center of gravity, to help avoid tipping of the bucket within the dolly. The dolly can be used by a person sealing a driveway with a five gallon pail bucket. Painters or spacklers can also benefit from the bucket dolly. Spacklers can stack pails on top of each other as they normally do so that they can reach into the uppermost pail and move their materials around without reaching down and getting down out of their elevated stilts or scaffolds.

Description

This application includes the subject matter of Applicant's Disclosure Document No. 349261, filed Mar. 1, 1994, entitled "Bucket Dolly".FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention includes a wheeled dolly with an upwardly extending edge that conforms to the size of a standard five gallon bucket.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONWhen working with construction materials in a five gallon pail bucket, such as spackle or paint, it is necessary to move around whatever materials one is working with by picking up the pail up to move it. Placing the bucket upon a standard flat dolly undesirably enhances the possibility of tipping the pail and its contents as it is being pushed or pulled.It is known to provide janitorial wash buckets with built in castors to move the buckets around a floor. However, it is not known to provide a dolly for insertion of buckets therein to move the buckets without having to actually pick up the buckets.Moreover, while it is known to insert small bucket stacker shelved p...
