ABSTRACT:
A container support has two legs attached on opposite sides of a container with a third leg attached to one of the legs attached to the container. The third leg pivots to minimize its projection when carrying the container from place to place with the support attached. By making the pivoting leg slightly longer than the leg to which it is attached, the third leg can be set in its extended position by merely rotating the container. Attaching brackets provide for the correct leg angle and easy attachment and detachment of the legs using a force fit between the back of the bracket and the container wall. The use of square tubing and mating attachment bracket for the container-attached legs maintains the correct angles for the support structure. Preferably the two container-attached legs are attached below the points of attachment of the container handle, which in conjunction with the pivoting third leg, minimizes outward projection of the support thereby preventing damage to nearby surfaces and objects when the container is carried from place to place with the support attached.
