However, it will be appreciated that theproduct holder 100 disclosed herein is not limited to thebucket 105 being empty, and may actually be employed withbucket 105 that is filled or partially filled with a liquid or flowable material. Since theproduct holder 100 is intended to be used in conjunction with a five-gallon bucket, empty or otherwise, theproduct holder 100 is so dimensioned as to be attachable to an exterior surface of a five gallon bucket. - The
product holder 100 includes asupport member 110 conformable to anexterior surface 115 of thebucket 105, where thesupport member 110 hasfasteners 120 at opposing ends thereof to securely hold thesupport member 110 to thebucket 105. In an embodiment,fasteners 120 are engageable latches, such as aplastic snap buckle 121 as shown inFIG. 4 , a plastic ladder-type buckle 122 as shown inFIG. 5 , or any other fastener suitable for the purposes disclosed herein. At least onepocket member 125 is securely attached to thesupport member 110 to form apocket 130 therewith, which is used for receiving and supporting atool 135 therein. WhileFIG. 2 depictstool 135, such as a hammer for example, disposed within thepocket 130, it will be appreciated that the same may be disposed within thebucket 105. It will also be appreciated that thepocket 130 is not limited for holding tools, but may also be used for holding bottles of cleaning solution, spray cans of lubricant, or any other utensil or product suitable for the purposes disclosed herein in connection with use of the tool/product holder 100. Asheet product dispenser 140 is also securely attached to thesupport member 110 for receiving and dispensing a sheet product, where thesheet product dispenser 140 has acontainer body 145 and acontainer lid 150 openable and closeable with respect to thecontainer body 145. - An embodiment of the
sheet product dispenser 140 is suitable for dispensing any type of sheet product, dry or dampened. As used herein, the term “sheet product” is inclusive of natural and/or synthetic cloth or paper sheets. Sheet products may include both woven and non-woven articles. There are a wide variety of nonwoven processes and they can be either wetlaid or drylaid. Some examples include hydroentagled (sometimes called spunlace), DRC (double re-creped), airlaid, spunbond, carded, paper towel, and meltblown sheet products. Further, sheet products may contain fibrous cellulosic materials that may be derived from natural sources, such as wood pulp fibers, as well as other fibrous material characterized by having hydroxyl groups attached to the polymer backbone. These include glass fibers and synthetic fibers modified with hydroxyl groups. Examples of sheet products include, but are not limited to, wipers, wet-wipes, napkins, tissues, rolls, towels or other fibrous, film, polymer, or filamentary products. - In general sheet products are thin in comparison to their length and breadth and exhibit a relatively flat planar configuration and are flexible to permit folding, rolling, stacking, and the like. The sheet product may have perforations extending in lines across its width to separate individual sheets and facilitate separation or tearing of individual sheets from a roll or folded arrangement at discrete intervals. Individual sheets may be sized as desired to accommodate the many uses of the sheet products.
- With a dampened sheet product, the sheet may be dampened with any type of flowable product, such as lotion, detergent, antiseptic agent, cleaning agent, or any other flowable product capable of being absorbed by the sheet product, for example. Where a dampened sheet product is to be employed, the
sheet product dispenser 140 is made from a material impermeable to liquids, such as a plastic material for example, which may be thermoplastic or thermoset-plastic. - In an embodiment, the
container lid 150 is attached to thecontainer body 145 via a hinge or aliving hinge 155 disposed on anouter face 160 of thesheet product dispenser 140 such that thecontainer lid 150 pivots away from thebucket 105 upon opening the sheet product dispenser 140 (best seen by referring toFIG. 3 ). As used herein, a living hinge is intended to mean a very thin section of plastic used to connect two parts and keep them together while allowing them to open and close, or more generally to mean a thin section of material that bends to allow movement between to adjoining sections of the same material. - Whether the sheet product is dampened or not, it may be desirable to have a sheet product retainer 205 (see
FIG. 6 ) securely placed, via a friction fit for example, within opening 210 (seeFIG. 3 ) ofcontainer body 145. Thesheet product retainer 205 has an opening 215, star-shaped opening for example, through which the sheet product is dispensed, where theopening 215 is sized to gently retain a portion of the next sheet product to be dispensed so that the next sheet product to be dispensed does not fall back into thecontainer body 145, thereby providing for ease of access by a user to the next sheet product to be dispensed. As can be seen by comparing thesheet product retainer 205 ofFIG. 6 with the profile of thecontainer body 145 inFIG. 1 , thesheet product retainer 205 has acontour 220 that matches an inner contour (a mirror toexterior surface 195 for example) ofcontainer body 145. Whilesheet product retainer 205 is disclosed herein to have the star-shaped opening 215, it will be appreciated that this is for illustration purposes only and that any shaped opening suitable for the purposes disclosed herein is also within the scope of the claimed invention. In an embodiment,sheet product retainer 205 is made of a thin flexible material, such as plastic for example, that will not unintentionally tear the sheet product as it is dispensed. - To more securely attach the
product holder 100 to thebucket 105, an embodiment of theproduct holder 100 includes afriction band 165 disposed proximate aninterior surface 170 of thesupport member 110 such that thefriction band 165 is compressed against theexterior surface 115 of thebucket 105 when theproduct holder 100 is mounted and secured thereto. In an embodiment, thefriction band 165 is made from an elastomeric material, such as but not limited to a rubber material for example. Use of astrap 190 made from a semi-stretchable material, such as woven nylon for example, to attach thefasteners 120 to thesupport member 110 facilitates a tighter fit of theproduct holder 100 to thebucket 105, where thestraps 190 are stretched and then latched to thebucket 105 in a state of tension. - As discussed above, at least one
pocket member 125 is securely attached to thesupport member 110 to formpocket 130 therewith, which implies that thesupport member 110 may have attached thereto more than one pocket member, which is depicted literally inFIG. 2 aspocket members member 110 may include more than twopocket members bucket 105 and the desired size of eachpocket member - In addition to
pocket members product support member 110 of theproduct holder 100 may also have asleeve member 175 securely attached to thesupport member 110 to provide a sleeve having twoopen ends open ends 180 and that can extend beyond the secondopen end 185. - As best seen from
FIG. 1 , thesheet product dispenser 140 has theexterior surface 195 on a side proximate thesupport member 110 with a contour that mirrorscontour 200 of theexterior surface 115 of thebucket 105, which allows thesheet product dispenser 140 to be made from a material, such as plastic for example, that is more rigid than theconformable support member 110, which in an embodiment may be made from leather or woven nylon for example, while permitting theentire product holder 100 to fit uniformly against the outer contour of thebucket 105 when secured thereto. - As best seen from
FIG. 2 , thesheet product dispenser 140 is so dimensioned as to not extend beyond the bottom of thebucket 105 when thesupport member 110 andsheet product dispenser 140 are securely attached to thebucket 105, as seen by reference to gap “d”, which in an embodiment may actually be no gap at all, that is, the bottom of thesheet product dispenser 140 is flush with the bottom of thebucket 105. - While certain combinations of pockets and sleeves have been described herein in combination with the sheet product dispenser of the product holder, it will be appreciated that these certain combinations are for illustration purposes only and that any type of utility holder in combination with the sheet product dispenser may be employed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Any and all such combinations are contemplated herein and are considered within the scope of the invention disclosed.
- While embodiments of the invention have been described employing a five gallon bucket for attaching the product holder to, it will be appreciated that the scope of the invention is not so limited, and that the invention also applies to use of the product holder with other support structures suitable for strapping the product holder to, such as a pail for example, where such other support structures are not necessarily circular in shape.
- As disclosed, some embodiments of the invention may include some of the following advantages: a bucket-mountable caddy that is securely strapped to the exterior surface of an empty five-gallon bucket or pail, thereby permitting the bucket or pail to be filled or partially filled with a liquid or flowable product without interfering with the tools or utensils stored in the caddy; and, a bucket-mountable caddy that provides, in addition to tool/utensil/container storage, easy access to sheet products contained within an integrally arranged sheet product dispenser.
