Abstract:
A bucket that children cannot put over their head, said bucket comprising:a bottom wall;side walls projecting upwardly from the bottom wall and forming an opening having circumscribing edges;removable lid fitting in said circumscribing edges for closing said bucket;a non-pivoting U-shaped handle having opposite side legs slidably mounted onto said side walls and stopping means for limiting sliding of the handle between a first position where said U-shaped handle bears against said lid when the same is fitted in the circumscribing wedges and a second position where said U-shaped handle extends away from said lid and thus makes it possible to remove said lid from the circumscribing edges, whereby said U-shaped handle both in first and second positions divides said opening into two smaller openings; andblocking means for keeping still the U-shaped handle in the second position thereby easing removal of the lid,wherein the circumscribing edges define inner flanges and outer flanges, the inner flanges acting as a support for said lid, andwherein the U-shaped handle is slidably mounted in grooves that are made through the outer flanges of the circumscribing edges and are shaped to receive the legs of the U-shaped handle.
