Abstract
A water cart for suspension of a water bucket for use in concrete finishing work employs an elongated open frame oriented substantially horizontally relative to a ground support surface and which extends in a substantially horizontal direction away from a wheel axle at one end toward a handle affixed at an opposite end. A bucket or container is pivotally suspended between the wheel axle and handle from the upper free ends of a generally U-shaped bracket that also serves as a ground support for the cart. Tool supports disposed at the wheel end of the open frame, which are generally cylindrical and adapted to receive and support long-handled work tools. The bucket's intermediate placement on the frame and pivotal suspension from the bracket allow the bucket to remain in a generally upright position, even when the cart is rested on an inclined surface, thus preventing tipping and spillage.
