The leg 28 is arranged outwardly of the web 20 and the openings 32 register with the slots 23 and opening 24, and outwardly directed bolts 36 engage through the registering slots and openings, and carry flat washers 37 and winged nuts 38, at their outer ends and at the inner side of the leg 28, Figure 4. Additional flat washers 39 are preferably mounted upon the bolts 36 between the web 20 and the adjacent leg 28, Figure 4, to compensate for the thickness of the frame 30. All of the bolts 33 and 36 preferably have relatively thin or fiat heads, as shown, so as to occupy a minimum space between the bracket wehs 20 and 21 and the adjacent faces of the ladder side rail, Figures 4 and 5.
In use, with the parts assembled, :as above described, the brackets 10 and 19 are adjusted laterally by means of the slots 18 and 22, and associated elements, so as A rectangular frame 30 extends,
, 3 to be a proper distance apart for receiving a ladder side rail as shown in Figures 1 and 5, or a pair of overlapping ladder side rails of an extension ladder, as in F1gures 6 and 7. The winged nuts 35 are securely tightened, and I the brackets 10 and 19 Will remain in their selected adjusted positions, The thus adjusted brackets 10 and 19 form a substantially U-shaped supporting member, Figure 5, which is now placed bodily over one side rail of the ladder, Figure 1, and the uppermost hook-like element 14-15 engages over a selected rung of the ladder, as shown, to support the device. The bracket webs 11 and 20 lie close to the corresponding faces of the ladder side rail, and the web 21 also lies close to the ladder side rail, and there is no possibility of the brackets rocking or moving relative to the ladder when the device is mounted in the manner shown in Figure l.

The upper and lower bolts 36 move in the slots 23 to permit this adjustment and to define the limits of the angular adjustment of the basket with respect to the brackets 10 and 19. The Winged nuts 38 are again tightened, and the basket and paint bucket will be securely held against further turning movement, and the basket will hold the paint bucket level as desired. The arrangement of the slots 23 and their bolts 36 a substantial distance away from the central pivot bolt 36 greatly increases the holding or securing frictional action of the bolts with respect to the web 20, so that the supporting basket cannot turn or pivot once the nuts 38 are tightened.
A novel feature of the device resides in the fact that once the brackets 10 and 19 are properly adjusted relative to each other and the nuts 35 tightened, the entire assembly may be lifted from one rung of the ladder to another selected rung without any additional adjustments, and it is merely necessary to engage the uppermost hooklike element 14-15 over another selected rung of the ladder. If the angle of the ladder remains unchanged, it is not necessary to touch the nuts 38 when moving the assembly from one rung to the next.
Another feature is the arrangement whereby the device may be used upon either side of the ladder, as shown in Figure 1. To do this, or to change the assembly from the right hand side to the left hand side, Figure 1, the upper and lower bolts 36 are removed from the assembly, and the entire basket is inverted 180 degrees with respect to the brackets 10 land 19, by pivoting the basket upon the central bolt 36. The upper and lower bolts 36 are now re-inserted through the slots 23 and adjacent openings 32, and the nuts 38 are re-applied while the basket is inverted. The entire assembly including the inverted basket is now carried to the opposite side of the ladder, and the assembly is bodily inverted so that the basket is again upright and the brackets 10 and 19 are inverted from their full line position in Figure 1. The arrangement is such, after this has been done, that the brackets may be applied to the left hand side rail as shown in broken lines in Figure 1, and the lower hook-like element 1415 will now be arranged uppermost for engagement 1,221,658 Berry Apr. 3, 1,983,670 Knight Dec. 11, 1934 2,598,479 Wraith May 27, 1952 1 2,674,427 Woodward et a1.
