ABSTRACT:
A unitary self-leveling paint can holder for providing self-leveling of a paint can in two dimensions. An elliptical frame member is provided having a major and minor axis. The frame has a cylindrical handle extending therefrom along the major axis, and a pair of diametrically opposed notches along the minor axis for receiving and pivotably supporting a paint can about the paint can handle bosses. Alternatively, a semi-elliptical frame member can be implemented. The elliptical frame design facilitates rotation of the received paint can along the major axis and about the minor axis up to 30.degree. from vertical. The apparatus is comprised entirely of aluminum and thus matches standard aluminum hollow rung ladders and is not subject to rusting. Further, the apparatus is not subject to degradation such as from paint drippings since there are no moving parts. In lieu of the cylindrical handle which is adapted to be inserted into a hollow ladder rung, a bracket is provided to pivotably attach the paint can supporting member to solid rung ladders or to hollow rung ladders having inaccessible rung hollows.
