ABSTRACT:
A utility can holder for use with hollow rung ladders. The device includes an annular support member defining a recess into which a can, typically a standard one gallon paint can, or other container can be placed. The can is secured and prevented from falling through the recess by engagement means, such as a shelf surface upon which knobs of the can or a continuous protruding lip will rest. Attached to the annular support member is a rung insert member, comprising a smooth or ribbed tube which can be inserted through the hollow rung in a snug but rotatable fit, allowing the can to self-level by operation of gravity. A locking mechanism comprised of flexible tabs which spring open after the device has been inserted through the rung prevents accidental withdrawal of the device.
