Abstract

Provided is a bucket including a bucket body with an improved handle attachment. The bucket body includes a reinforcing collar extending about the perimeter of the bucket body. A ring is engaged to the bucket body by locating the ring within a channel defined on the exterior surface of the bucket body. The ring extends about the perimeter of the bucket body and engages a pivotable arcuate handle. The engagement of the ring in an annular channel and the handle to the ring results in the even distribution of a lifting force across the ring and reinforcing collar.
