Drywall mud container

Abstract

Conventional drywall mud containers include a cardboard box containing a plastic bag which carries the mud. Mixing of the mud in the container can result in tearing of the bag. This problem is solved by a mud container including an inner solid plastic tub for receiving the mud, a thin closable plastic bag for surrounding the tub, and an outer cardboard box, which carries the bag and the tub. The use of a solid inner tub permits mixing of the mud in the container, and makes it easy to remove all of the mud from the container.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A drywall mud container comprising: 
 a solid, plastic inner receptacle for receiving drywall mud;    a sealable plastic bag for receiving the inner receptacle; and    an outer box for carrying the plastic bag and the inner receptacle.    
     
     
         2 . The drywall mud container of  claim 1 , wherein said inner receptacle is a blow molded plastic tub.  
     
     
         3 . The drywall mud container of  claim 1  or  2 , wherein said plastic bag includes an open top end; a hem in said open top end; and a drawstring in said hem for gathering said top end to seal the bag in a closed condition.
