ABSTRACT:
A bracket assembly for securing a paint roller tray to a paint bucket is provided. The bracket includes a cradle for receiving a paint tray in an angled relation above the bucket. The cradle is centrally fixed atop a first rod, the first rod having a top and a bottom portion. The top portion includes a securing element to secure the paint tray to the cradle. The bottom portion includes a rectangular support element which is affixed centrally and perpendicularly to the bottom portion of the first rod. Intermediate the top portion and the bottom portion is an U-shaped cover which is nested in a downward fashion atop the first rod. The cover has a pair of legs affixed thereto in parallel relation which straddle the rim of the bucket. The legs depend downwardly from intermediate the two lips of the cover. The legs are secured to the lips. A first leg remains outside the bucket, is adjustable in height, and acts as a stabilization support for the main portion of the bracket. The second leg remains inside the bucket and with the first leg acts as a yoke about the rim. A securing element is provided on the first leg, which fixes the bracket to the bucket. A spacer element is provided on the bottom of the first leg to bias the first leg against the bucket. A pair of feet depend from the bottom of the first leg to provide stabilization when the device is employed.
