Vessel with indicia and caddy

Abstract

A vessel is disclosed including a peripheral wall structure having an upper end defining a top opening and a lower end, a bottom wall structure extending from the peripheral wall structure and closing the lower end for cooperation with the peripheral wall structure to define a first cavity, the bottom wall structure having a depression formed therein defining a second cavity which forms an extension of the first cavity, and indicia on the bottom wall structure for indicating the volume of the contents of the second cavity.

1 . A caddy for use with a vessel comprising: 
 a wall structure adapted to engage and substantially cover an open upper end of a vessel;    an implement lock formed integrally with the wall structure; and    a handle formed integrally with the wall structure.    
     
     
         2 . The caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall structure includes at least one partition dividing the caddy into plural open-top compartments.  
     
     
         3 . The caddy according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one compartment has a drain opening therein.  
     
     
         4 . The caddy according to  claim 1 , wherein the implement lock includes a slot formed in the wall structure for resiliently engaging an implement.  
     
     
         5 . The caddy according to  claim 4 , wherein the implement is a mop handle.  
     
     
         6 . A vessel assembly comprising: 
 a container having a first peripheral wall structure having an upper end defining a top opening and a first lower end;    a first bottom wall structure integral with the peripheral wall structure and closing the lower end for cooperation with the peripheral wall structure to define a first cavity, the first bottom wall structure having a depression formed therein defining a second cavity which forms a part of the first cavity;    first indicia on the first bottom wall structure for indicating the volume of the contents of the second cavity;    a receptacle including a second peripheral wall structure having an upper end defining a rim and a second lower end, the rim configured to engage the first peripheral wall structure;    a plurality of partition members dividing the receptacle into a plurality of compartments;    a second bottom wall structure integral with the second peripheral wall structure and plurality of partition members, the second bottom wall closing the second lower end for cooperation with the second peripheral wall structure and plurality of partition members;    an implement lock member formed integrally with the second peripheral wall; and    a handle formed integrally with at least one partition member of the plurality of partition members.    
     
     
         7 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the first peripheral wall structure includes second indicia for indicating the volume of the contents of the first cavity.  
     
     
         8 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the second indicia are disposed on an inclined ramp so as to be visible from above.  
     
     
         9 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the first peripheral wall structure includes two inclined ramps disposed along opposite sides thereof, each of the ramps bearing indicia for indicating the volume of the contents of the first cavity.  
     
     
         10 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the first peripheral wall structure has an upper portion extending upwardly from outer edges of the ramps, and an inner portion extending downwardly from inner edges of the ramps.  
     
     
         11 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the ramps have upper surfaces which are substantially coplanar.  
     
     
         12 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the second cavity has a volume which is a small fraction of the volume of the first cavity.  
     
     
         13 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the second bottom wall structure has at least one opening.  
     
     
         14 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the implement lock member includes at least one protrusion formed integrally with the second peripheral wall.  
     
     
         15 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein the implement lock member includes an arcuate portion adjacent to the at least one protrusion and dimensioned to releasably secure an implement.  
     
     
         16 . The vessel assembly according to  claim 15 , wherein the implement is a mop handle.
