Abstract:

A movable workseat cart assembly for adapting a bucket-type container to be used as a seat with an accompanying equipment tray for a workman. The assembly includes a unitary body member having a receptacle for a bucket, a partitioned equipment retainer tray surrounding the bucket receptacle, a peripheral skirt surrounding the equipment tray, and swivel wheel assemblies that are positioned between the peripheral skirt and the bucket receptacle. The mentioned elements of the overall assembly are positioned relative to each other so as to maintain a low center of gravity, and to allow the lower edge of the skirt to sweep away debris that might otherwise become lodged under and damage the bottom of the bucket receptacle. The bucket receptacle and the peripheral skirt are connected to each other by an integral spanning web extending between them. Portions of the peripheral skirt and portions of the bucket receptacle project above the surface of the spanning web to serve as partition wall elements that together with the web define separate equipment tray sections for retaining parts and equipment.
