Abstract

A bucket stand is described herein. The bucket stand has a body for receiving and supporting cylindrical objects such as paint containers. Within the body is a padding for securing the cylindrical objects, so that when a user lifts the cylindrical object, for example, the paint container's handle, the bucket stand is lifted too. This permits better portability of both objects without having to separate them and carry each individually. Furthermore, the cylindrical object is only temporarily secured within the bucket stand for easy removal of the object when desired. The bucket stand is also able to be further elevated and includes wheels to enable sliding of the stand. Additional padding is utilized to allow various sizes of cylindrical objects to be retained. Some embodiments utilize angled walls, magnets and fasteners to further assist in securing the cylindrical objects within the bucket stand.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus for receiving, supporting and elevating a paint container comprising:
 a. an aperture for receiving the paint container; and   b. a body containing the aperture, wherein the body utilizes friction to retain the paint container, the body comprising a plurality of legs.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a padding coupled to the body for securing the paint container within the body. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising a set of additional padding to allow varying sizes of paint containers to be secured. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a set of wheels for sliding the body. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 4  wherein the set of wheels extend to adjust the height of the body. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a mechanism for adjusting the height of the body. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising one or more magnets coupled to the body for assisting in securing the paint container within the body. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising one or more fasteners for assisting in securing the paint container within the body. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the paint container and the body are able to be separated after the paint container is received. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the paint container and the body are carried together using a handle of the paint container. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the body is rubber or plastic.
