Definitions

  • This invention relates to a paint can holder, and refers more particularly to a portable paint can holder for use on scaffolding.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a portable paint can holder that holds a paint can relative to the pain-ters working position such that minimal effort is required of him to replenish paint on the brush or applicator.
  • a receptacle fashioned to hold a paint can or cans in an upright position, preferably at approximately waist level of the painter.
  • the receptacle is rigidly fixed to a vertical rod at the bottom of which is fixed a horizontally positioned clamping means which may consist of a rigid upper jaw for clamping to the top side of a scalfold plank and a tension spring actuated, pivoting lower jaw for clamping to the plank underside.
  • the lower jaw may be released or applied to the plank by a vertical rod connected to a hand lever fastened beneath the receptacle.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the paint can holder constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention, clamped to a scalfolding platform;
  • FIGURE 2 is a front elevational view of the holder shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a plan view of the holder.
  • reference number indicates the paint can holder.
  • a receptacle having vertical prongs 11, horizontal bases 21 and horizontal cross pieces 28 is formed from any suitable material to provide a can holding means for 4 one quart size paint cans.
  • Horizontal cross pieces 28 connect the ends of the bases 21 to provide a support for the cans.
  • Straps 29 are rigidly connected to vertical prongs 11 as shown and prevent movement of the paint cans in the receptacle.
  • the straps 29 are arcuate in shape to conform to the cylindrical contour of paint cans. While the illustrated embodiment shows a receptacle for 4 one quart paint cans, it is not illustrated by way of limitation as obviously, the receptacle can be equally fashioned to hold a single one gallon paint can as well as others.
  • the receptacle is firmly mounted on a vertically disposed support rod 14 formed of two separate members spaced relative to each other by a spacer piece 22 to provide an opening through which passes a vertical connecting rod 15.
  • support rod 14 is of sufiicient height to maintain the can holding means at approximately waist level of any person of average height. Practical experimentation demonstrates that the support rod 14 height should be in the range of twenty-four to thirty-six inches.
  • the clamping means comprise an upper jaw 12 extending in a plane parallel to receptacle bases 21, and fastened rigidly to support rod 14 at 23 by any suitable means at a point near the bottom of the rod 14.
  • the jaw 12 is Wide and frame-like in shape.
  • the lower jaw 13 of the clamping means is comparatively narrow and elongated, and is fastened by a pivot 2%) to support rod 14 at its bottom.
  • Lower jaw 13 is connected at 26 at approximately its mid-length to a vertically disposed connecting rod 15, the upper end of which is connected at 27 to one end of the unclamping lever 16.
  • the fastenings at both points of connection 26 and 27 are of any suitable type that permits pivotal action.
  • Unclamping lever 16 is fastened by a pivot 19 to support rod 14 at a point near its top, parallel to and in sufficient relation to the longest leg of receptacle bases 21, so that the lever 16 and the base leg may be easily grasped in a persons hand to actuate the lower jaw 13 of the clamping means.
  • Lower jaw 13 of the clamping means is held in normally closed position by a tension type coil spring 18 which is fastened at 24 and 25 to the lower jaw 13 and support rod 14 at approximately the mid-length of the rod 14.
  • Lower jaw 13 of the clamping means is fitted on its clamping end with a pivotal insert 17 having raised ends to provide a positive grip for the jaw and obviate jaw slippage.
  • a small wheel 30 is rigidly fastened to the bottom of support rod 14 to facilitate handling of the paint can holder 10 when it is not in use.
  • FIGURE 1 shows by broken lines the positions of the lever 16 and the lower jaw 13 in the inoperative unclamped position of the paint can holder 10. In this position, the upper end of the rod 15 which carries the pivot 27, engages an underlying surface of the base 21.
  • a paint can holder for scaifolding and the like comprising in combination: can holding means having a base portion including an extension piece, and canengaging prongs connected with said base portion and extending perpendicularly thereto, a support rod having a top portion firmly supporting said can holding means; clamping means carried by said support rod and comprising a frame-like top jaw fixedly connected at one end to a lower portion of said support rod, an elongated lower jaw cooperating with said fixed jaw and pivotally mounted at one end to said lower portion of said sup port rod, and a tension spring connected with said lower jaw and said support rod and urging said lower jaw toward.
