Abstract
Description
[0001] Conventional buckets, if they have a lid, present users with the problem that when the bucket is filled or emptied, the lid has to be placed to the side, where it is often forgotten, or has to be held in the hand, which restricts the user's freedom of action.
[0002] This problem is solved by the features specified in claim 1.
[0003] The invention achieves the effect that the bucket lid, when removed, can be stored on the underside of the bucket - thus the user has their hands free and the lid is not unintentionally left behind.
[0004] For use, for example, with harvesting and collecting buckets.
[0005] Bucket lids typically have a profile that allows the lid to be placed on top of the bucket and closed. The invention also features a profile on the bottom of the bucket into which the bucket lid can be snapped underneath the bucket.
Claims
[1] Bucket with stowable lid, characterized by that the bucket lid can be secured by snapping it into place underneath the bucket base when removed.
