The rod is intended to be inserted into the hollow rung and is releasably attached thereto with a screwable collar. The container-holding portion is formed into a circular loop adapted to receive and hold the paint can therein. The paint can holder also has other supports to ensure the container is held. When the screwable collar is loosened, the paint can holder can rotate about its longitudinal axis, thus the painter can move the ladder without removing the paint can holder and paint can.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 21, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended September 21, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 21, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
