ABSTRACT:
A device for removably supporting a paint pan on the rungs of a ladder, wherein said pan is of the type having at least one hook depending therefrom and having a paint well. A shelf comprising a pair of V-shaped brackets, each having a horizontal leg and an inwardly extending leg, is removably mounted on one rung of the ladder by engagement of the terminal ends of the horizontal legs therewith. First and second crossbars extend between the horizontal legs to connect the brackets. A pair of struts are adjustably attached to the inwardly extending legs of the brackets, and an opposite end of the struts removably engages a second rung next below the ladder rung engaged by the shelf. A paint pan is removably mounted on the shelf by engagement of the pan hook with the first crossbar, and the pan well is supported by the second crossbar. The brackets are formed by lightweight, flexible metal straps which are manually bendable at the junction of the horizontal and inwardly extending legs, which when combined with the adjustably mounted struts enables the device to be used on ladders having a non-standard separation between adjacent rungs.
