UNITED STATES ALBERT GEORGE HARRINGTON, OF BIRMINGHAM, MICHIGAN.

COMBINED PAIL AND STAND.

Application filed July 11, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT GEORGE HAR- RINGTON, an alien, holding first papers of the United States, and a resident of Birmingham, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Pails and Stands, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined pail and stand.

In washing windows, paper hanging or any other labor where a pail is used and it is necessary for the worker to frequently stoop for dipping his brush, sponge or the like into the contents of the pail the work becomes exceptionally tiresome. With this in view it is the object of the invention to provide a combined pail and stand whereby the pail'may be quickly elevated and so held whenever the user may wish and thus eliminate the stooping above referred to.

It is also an object of the invention that the stand associated with the pail be adapted to support the pail in a lowered-position.

It is a further object of the invention that the stand be adapted for carrying about the pail when filled with aliquid or the like.

Other objects and objects relating to details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts will hereinafter appear in the detailed description to follow.

' The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a paper hanger at work and likewise, a combination pail and stand of the present in-' vention with the pail elevated for the convenience of the worker.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the pail and stand, the pail being elevated and the lower portion of the stand being shown in section to illustrate the construction thereof. Figure 3 is a transverse sectional, view of the stand taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detailed elevation illustratpail is held in its elevated position by the stand.

Referring to the drawings more particularly S indicates generally the stand and P Serial N0. 574,216.

the pail. The stand S more specifically comprises a plurality of legs 10, an upper ring 11 and a-lower ring 12. The upper ring 11- is secured to the upper ends of the legs 10 and thus holding them in circular formation, while the lower ring 12 is secured in the same manner but slightly above the lower ends of the legs 10. The legs 10 terminate at the lower ends in outwardly curved portions 15 which are adapted to form feet for the stand, and each pair of opposing feet are connected by a brace 14. The pail P is cylindrical in shape and provided with a plurality of grooves 15 which extend longitudinally thereof and are preferably two in number, said rooves being adapted for receiving the en s of studs 16 projecting from legs 10. The grooves 15 are preferably diametrically opposed and likewise the studs 16. The studs 16 are positioned adjacent the u per ends of the legs 10 and upon the pail I being lifted above these studs and then turned to the position shown in Figure 2, the said studs will support the pail in what may be termed its elevated position.

The upper ring 11 is provided with a pair of ears 17 to which may be connected a bail 18 whereby the stand S together with the pail may be carried about. Also the pail P is provided at its upper end with a pair of rings 19 to facilitate the lifting and lowering thereof.

In Figure 1 there is shown a pair of carpenters horses upon which there is spread a sheet of wall paper generally indicated by the reference numeral 21 Also there is shown a man spreading paste upon the paper. In this instance the pail P is elevated so that the man does not need to stoop when wetting his brush. The purpose of contents of a pail.

What I claim is: In combination, a pail having a plurality of grooves or channels formed lon 'tudinally thereof and in its outer su ace, a stand comprising a frame, open at its upper end and adapted to telescopically receive the pail, cross members adjacent the bottom of the frame adapted to support the pail, studs carried by said frame one for each of the grooves, said studs being adapted to permit free upward and downward movement of the pail and when said pail is moved upwardly and above said studs and rotated to bring the same out of alignment with the grooves, said studs being adapted to engage 10 the bottom of the pail and support the same in an elevated position and Within the frame.

ALBERT GEORGE HARRINGTON.
