ABSTRACT:
A bucket brace holds a bucket in place while the bucket's contents are mixed or stirred. The bucket brace prevents the bucket from spinning due to the mixing. The bucket brace is an assembly made up of four parts: a base, a foot pressure portion, a front support, and a rear support. A handle is provided for carrying the base. The front and rear supports are of semi-circular shape, and are made of rigid or semi-rigid material, as are the base and the foot pressure portion. The foot pressure portion and the base are integral, preferably both parts being formed from the same piece of material. The foot pressure portion and the rear support preferably have surface grip portions. The handle may be made of any suitable material, preferably the same rigid or semi-rigid material as the other parts of the bucket brace. A method of use for employing the brace to hold a bucket in place while stirring or mixing the contents of the bucket is also described whereby the user places a bucket in the brace and applies foot pressure to the foot pressure portion to prevent the bucket from spinning while the user stirs or mixes the bucket contents.
