Wheeled bucket

Abstract

A bucket comprises generally vertical sidewalls and a bottom portion, defining together a bucket interior. The bucket further comprises a back face, constituting one of the sidewalls, which extends substantially above the height of the bucket interior. The bucket still further comprises at least two wheels mounted to the bucket at the back face about an axis at a bottom area thereof.

1 . A bucket comprising:
 (a) generally vertical sidewalls and a bottom portion, defiling together a bucket interior;   (b) a back face, constituting one of said sidewalls, extending substantially above the height of the bucket interior; and characterized in that said bucket is adapted for nested stacking and the bucket comprises at least two wheels mounted to the bucket at the back face about an axis at a bottom area thereof.   
     
     
         2 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one handle preformed in the back face. 
     
     
         3 . A bucket according to  claim 2 , wherein the handle is ringed by a soft material, constituting a handgrip. 
     
     
         4 . A bucket according to  claim 2 , comprising at least two handles, a first handle being located near a top edge of the back face, and a second handle being located above the interior of the bucket. 
     
     
         5 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rim along the upper portion of the sidewalls continuing along the contour of the back face. 
     
     
         6 . A bucket according to  claim 5 , wherein the rim is sufficiently durable to allow for lifting of the bucket thereby. 
     
     
         7 . A bucket according to  claim 5 , wherein the rim extends to a top edge of the back face, constituting thereby a handle. 
     
     
         8 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , adapted to pilot about the axis between a first position and a second position, the bucket in the first position disposed so that the bottom portion faces downward, and in the second position disposed so that the back face faces downward; a top edge of the back face allowing for, while the bucket is in the second position, sliding transfer of articles from the ground to the bucket interior via the back face. 
     
     
         9 . A bucket according to  claim 8 , further comprising an arrangement adapted to serve as support points when the bucket is in the second position. 
     
     
         10 . A bucket according to  claim 9 , wherein the wheels constitute said arrangement. 
     
     
         11 . A bucket according to  claim 8 , wherein at least a substantive portion of the back face, when the bucket is in the second position, is substantially flush with the ground 
     
     
         12 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , wherein side edges of the back face at least partially follow the contour of the sidewalls. 
     
     
         13 . A bucket according to  claim 8 , further comprising at least one support portion at a front portion thereof for supporting the bucket in the first position. 
     
     
         14 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , wherein the back face is extendable between a fully retracted position, wherein a top edge of the back face is substantially adjacent the top of the bucket interior, and a fully extended position. 
     
     
         15 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , wherein a cover is provided to cover the bucket interior. 
     
     
         16 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising a seat. 
     
     
         17 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one front wheel mounted thereto at a front side thereof. 
     
     
         18 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one arrangement adapted to grip hand implements. 
     
     
         19 . A bucket according to  claim 1 , further comprising an aperture at or near the bottom thereof and a complimentary stopping arrangement.
