Overcoat bucket support
A concrete overcoat bucket support adapted for elevating a bucket above a concrete surface being resurfaced. The concrete overcoat bucket support is adapted for supporting a five-gallon bucket above an uncured overcoat. The concrete overcoat bucket support apparatus of the present invention includes spikes so that an overcoat bucket for resurfacing the concreate may be supported above an uncured area being resurfaced without leaving permanent markings in the uncured surface when the concrete overcoat bucket support apparatus is lifted and moved.
1 . An overcoat bucket support apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
an annular ring adapted for supporting a bottom portion of a bucket, the annular ring having an annular base with a central opening, wherein an upper surface of the annular base has a cylindrical sidewall extending upward from an outer edge of the upper surface of the annular base; further wherein a lower surface of the annular base has spaced apart spikes extending downward from the lower surface of the annular base; and further wherein the cylindrical sidewall has spaced apart pliable tabs extending inward towards a center of the annular ring from the cylindrical sidewall.
2 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 1 , wherein an inner edge of the annular base has an annular lip extending upward from the inner edge of the annular base.
3 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spikes include a cylindrical portion extending from a conical base.
4 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 3 , wherein a length of a cylindrical portion of each spike is at least 0.375 inches long.
5 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 4 , wherein the cylindrical portion of the spike has a tip that is less than 0.100 inch in diameter.
6 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spikes are removable from the annular base.
7 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 1 , further including spaced apart apertures formed through the cylindrical sidewall.
8 . The overcoat bucket support apparatus as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tabs include gripping ledges extending upward from an upper planar surface of the tabs.
9 . An overcoat bucket support apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
an annular ring adapted for supporting a bottom portion of a bucket, the annular ring having an annular base with a central opening, wherein an upper surface of the annular base has a cylindrical sidewall extending upward from an outer edge of the upper surface of the annular base, wherein the cylindrical sidewall having spaced apart apertures formed through the cylindrical sidewall; further wherein an inner edge of the annular base has an annular lip extending upward from the inner edge of the annular base; further wherein a lower surface of the annular base has spaced apart spikes extending downward from the lower surface of the annular base; and further wherein the cylindrical sidewall has spaced apart pliable tabs extending inward towards a center of the annular ring from the cylindrical sidewall.
