Abstract

A bucket with one or more handles on the side or bottom of the bucket that may be gripped to stabilize the bucket when pouring the contents out of the bucket. The one or more handles in combination with the bail provide the user with a balanced design to controllably pour the contents from the bucket.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bucket comprising:
 a bottom,   a side wall surrounding said bottom and forming an enclosure,   said enclosure having a top opening, a bottom rim and an exterior surface,   said enclosure tapering inwardly from said top opening to said bottom rim,   a first handle pivotally secured to opposite sides of said side wall proximal said top opening,   a second handle formed in said side wall proximal said bottom rim, and   a third handle formed in said bottom proximal said bottom rim,   said second handle having a generally semi-ellipsoid shaped indentation in said side wall and having a major axis and a minor axis, and a grip secured to opposite sides of said semi-ellipsoid along said minor axis and coextensive with said exterior surface of said enclosure,   said third handle having a generally semi-ellipsoid shaped indentation flattened on one side formed in said bottom,   wherein said bucket is nestable with another bucket.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The bucket of  claim 4  wherein said second handle is oriented with said major axis of said semi-ellipsoid generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of said enclosure. 
     
     
         6 . The bucket of  claim 5  wherein said second handle is oriented in a plane generally parallel to a plane coextensive with said longitudinal axis of said enclosure and passing through attachment points of said first handle to said side wall. 
     
     
         7 . The bucket of  claim 1  wherein said second handle is oriented with said major axis of said semi-ellipsoid generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said enclosure. 
     
     
         8 . The bucket of  claim 7  wherein said second handle is oriented in a plane generally parallel to a plane coextensive with said longitudinal axis of said enclosure and passing through attachment points of said first handle to said side wall. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The bucket of  claim 1  wherein said third handle is oriented with a major axis of said semi-ellipsoid generally coextensive with a chord of said bottom and generally parallel to a plane coextensive with a longitudinal axis of said enclosure passing through attachment points of said first handle to said side wall. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . (canceled)

         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The bucket of  claim 14  wherein said second handle is oriented with said major axis of said semi-ellipsoid generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of said enclosure. 
     
     
         16 . The bucket of  claim 15  wherein said second handle is oriented in a plane generally parallel to a plane coextensive with said longitudinal axis of said enclosure and passing through attachment points of said first handle to said cylindrical side wall. 
     
     
         17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . (canceled)

         25 . (canceled) 
     
     
         26 . The bucket of  claim 1  further comprising a fourth_handle formed in said circular bottom proximal said bottom rim. 
     
     
         27 . The bucket of  claim 26  wherein said fourth handle includes a generally semi-ellipsoid shaped indentation flattened on one side formed in said circular bottom. 
     
     
         28 . The bucket of  claim 27  wherein said fourth handle is oriented with a major axis of said semi-ellipsoid generally coextensive with a chord of said circular bottom and generally parallel to a plane coextensive with a longitudinal axis of said enclosure passing through attachment points of said first handle to said cylindrical side wall. 
     
     
         29 . The bucket of  claim 26  wherein said third and fourth handles are on opposite sides of said circular bottom.
