Abstract

A material handling system including a bucket having a base, a sidewall extending outwardly from the base including an upper edge defining an access opening. The material handling system further includes a lid adapted to be connected to the bucket to cover the access opening. The lid includes a funnel portion having a spout portion to facilitate an exit of a material from the bucket through the lid, and into a bag secured to the spout portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A material handling system for handling a material, comprising:
 a bucket having a base, a sidewall extending upwardly from the base, the sidewall having an upper edge defining an access opening;   a lid adapted to be connected to the upper edge of the bucket to cover the access opening, the lid having a funnel portion including a spout portion, and   a bag having a mouth which is secured around the spout portion of the lid,   wherein the material within the bucket is transferred into the bag by inverting the material handling system upside down, such that gravity draws the material through the funnel portion, then through the spout portion, and then into the bag.   
     
     
         2 . The material handling system of  claim 1  including a handle coupled to the sidewall of the bucket, the handle extending outwardly from the sidewall. 
     
     
         3 . The material handling system of  claim 1  wherein the bag comprises a plastic film material. 
     
     
         4 . The material handling system of  claim 1  wherein the bucket comprises a plastic material. 
     
     
         5 . The material handling system of  claim 4  wherein the bucket comprises a food-grade polymer. 
     
     
         6 . The material handling system of  claim 4  wherein the lid comprises a plastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The material handling system of  claim 6  including a handle coupled to the sidewall of the bucket, the handle extending outwardly from the sidewall. 
     
     
         8 . The material handling system of  claim 6  wherein the bucket comprises a food-grade polymer. 
     
     
         9 . The material handling system of  claim 6  wherein the lid comprises a food-grade polymer. 
     
     
         10 . The material handling system of  claim 6  wherein the bag comprises a plastic film material. 
     
     
         11 . The material handling system of  claim 1  wherein the lid comprises a plastic material. 
     
     
         12 . The material handling system of  claim 11  wherein the lid comprises a food-grade polymer. 
     
     
         13 . The material handling system of  claim 2  wherein the handle is an open handle having an upper end attached to the sidewall, and a free lower end.
