A sanitation pail having a body that defines a fluid cavity and a bail that is pivotably connected to the body. The body includes a base and a number of side walls that extend in an upward manner from the base. The base includes a raised portion that is disposed between respective adjacent lower portions of the base. The downward directed surface of the base defines a number of grip sites associated with the bottom of the body. The sidewalls have a generally hourglass cross section shape wherein each discrete corner associated with the sidewalls defines a curved pour spout. Additional handles or grip sites extend from the body proximate the upper edge of body and are associated with radially inward directed curved portions of the body such that the additional handles do not exceed outward beyond the adjacent corners.

A bucket, the bucket comprising: an inner wall, the inner wall forming a container with a rounded bottom; an outer wall attached to the inner wall via a top bucket surface, the outer wall having a frusto-conical shape and envelops the inner wall, and the outer wall extends down below the rounded bottom, where the bottom of the outer wall acts as a stand for the bucket, and where the outer wall has a bottom diameter at the bottom of the outer wall, and a top diameter at the top of the outer wall, and where the bottom diameter is larger than the top diameter.

My idea is for a new 5 gal. plastic utility bucket that can be used safely in hydroponics. My idea is for a new safer utility bucket that is easily pulled with the hand, rope or a lanyard, and can be easily pushed near the bottom with a foot, stick or a pole grabber when heavily loaded. My newly designed bucket bottom enables my bucket to slide over carpets, concrete, and other rough surfaces making close working or long pulling of my bucket easier and safer to work with. My new bottom design will not hold water, and will slowly wear down from the center diamond out to the slightly lowering inside and outside ridges. My bucket will tilt and fall over when empty when a weight is placed on the bucket top near the edge, and can be pushed over easier at the top than a normal 5 gal. bucket due to the lipped bottom edge and when heavy with water. I am hopeful that this bucket design will be safer around children if one was to fall into a bucket. The bucket's wire handle boxes on left and right side of my bucket have been altered with new hooking holes that are designed into the bucket mold. The pulling holes on the top and bottom corners of each box on all sides of each corner are used for a ring or lanyard for long pulling of a heavy bucket.

My EZ-Sliding buckets will be manufactured as a one piece unit from a large steel mold and using high pressure heated plastic injection machines. I believe this bucket will help eliminate unsafe and expensive bucket dollies and the old back-breaking no sliding plastic buckets that are used in close working environments today. My bucket will also be used in recreational environments like fishing, picnicking and gardening and more.

A bucket having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction includes: a first extension in the longitudinal direction; a second extension in the transverse direction, the first extension being greater than the second extension; two longitudinal sides; a front transverse side; a rear transverse side; and at least one substantially bow-shaped handle. The at least one handle extends in the longitudinal direction and is pivotable in the transverse direction. A spout of the bucket includes a self-contained through-hole and is arranged in the front transverse side.

A bucket handle retainer with a substantially flat rectilinear resilient plate. The plate has an upper tip that corresponds to the inside dimension of the internal cavity of the handle holding portion of a standard five gallon bucket. The plate includes a spring biased finger capable of frictionally engaging the inside wall of the handle holding portion. The plate also includes a holding portion capable of being grasped by a user's fingers to insert or remove the plate from the handle holding portion of the bucket. A preferred embodiment includes the handle retainer is injection molded from nylon plastic.

A washing bucket has a container with an interior defined by wall and a bottom, a fluid inlet affixed to the wall of the container and communicating with the interior of the container, and a fluid outlet opening to the wall of the container and positioned at a level higher than a level of the fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is positioned adjacent to the bottom of the container. The fluid inlet has a connector positioned exterior of the wall of the container and adapted to connect to a water hose. The fluid outlet has a diameter greater than a diameter of the fluid inlet. The fluid outlet has a pipe affixed to the wall of the container.
