Abstract

A drywall accessory holder includes a unitary and single receptacle having an open top end and a centrally registered longitudinal axis, the receptacle being suitably sized and shaped for receiving and holding existing glazing compound and the existing accessories therein, a wire frame having a unitary, continuous, and predetermined shape communicatively coupled to the receptacle such that the receptacle is maintained at a substantially stable position, and a lid pivotally coupled to the wire frame in such a manner that the lid is removably positioned entirely along the open top end of the receptacle, wherein the wire frame is capable of being hung from an existing support structure.

Claims (46)

1. A drywall accessory holder for keeping existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications, said drywall accessory holder comprising:

a receptacle having an open top end and a centrally registered longitudinal axis, said receptacle being suitably sized and shaped for receiving and holding existing glazing compound and the existing accessories therein;

a wire frame having a predetermined shape communicatively coupled to said receptacle such that said receptacle is maintained at a substantially stable position; and

a lid pivotally coupled to said wire frame in such a manner that said lid is removably positioned entirely along said open top end of said receptacle;

wherein said wire frame is capable of being hung from an existing support structure;

wherein said receptacle is a drywall mud-pan intercalated between an anterior portion and a posterior portion of said wire frame;

wherein said wire frame comprises

a hook located at said posterior portion;

a plurality of linear segments oppositely extending laterally away from said hook;

a plurality of U-shaped segments attached to said linear segments, respectively, and extended towards said anterior portion; and

a plurality of eyelets connected to said U-shaped segments, respectively;

wherein said lid comprises: a plurality of linear slots disposed parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

wherein said wire frame comprises: a plurality of fasteners pivotally coupled to said eyelets and said lid such that said lid is articulated, between an open position and a closed position, about a fulcrum axis oriented parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

a flexible wire strap spaced from said wire frame, said receptacle, and said lid; wherein said flexible wire strap is selectively morphed to a desired shape and engaged to the existing accessories for maintaining the existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications.

2. The drywall accessory holder of claim 1 , wherein said lid hangs downwardly and in front of said anterior portion when adapted to said open position.

3. The drywall accessory holder of claim 2 , wherein said receptacle is cradled within said U-shaped segments.

4. A drywall accessory holder for keeping existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications, said drywall accessory holder comprising:

a unitary and single receptacle having an open top end and a centrally registered longitudinal axis, said receptacle being suitably sized and shaped for receiving and holding existing glazing compound and the existing accessories therein;

a wire frame having a unitary, continuous, and predetermined shape communicatively coupled to said receptacle such that said receptacle is maintained at a substantially stable position; and

a lid pivotally coupled to said wire frame in such a manner that said lid is removably positioned entirely along said open top end of said receptacle;

wherein said wire frame is capable of being hung from an existing support structure;

wherein said receptacle is a drywall mud-pan intercalated between an anterior portion and a posterior portion of said wire frame;

wherein said wire frame comprises

a hook located at said posterior portion;

a plurality of linear segments oppositely extending laterally away from said hook;

a plurality of U-shaped segments attached to said linear segments, respectively, and extended towards said anterior portion; and

a plurality of eyelets connected to said U-shaped segments, respectively;

wherein said lid comprises: a plurality of linear slots disposed parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

wherein said wire frame comprises: a plurality of fasteners pivotally coupled to said eyelets and said lid such that said lid is articulated, between an open position and a closed position, about a fulcrum axis oriented parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

a flexible wire strap spaced from said wire frame, said receptacle, and said lid; wherein said flexible wire strap is selectively morphed to a desired shape and engaged to the existing accessories for maintaining the existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications.

5. The drywall accessory holder of claim 4 , wherein said lid hangs downwardly and in front of said anterior portion when adapted to said open position.

6. The drywall accessory holder of claim 5 , wherein said receptacle is cradled within said U-shaped segments.

7. A method of utilizing a drywall accessory holder for keeping existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a unitary and single receptacle having an open top end and a centrally registered longitudinal axis, said receptacle being suitably sized and shaped for receiving and holding existing glazing compound and the existing accessories therein;

providing and communicatively coupling a wire frame having a unitary, continuous, and predetermined shape to said receptacle such that said receptacle is maintained at a substantially stable position;

providing and pivotally coupling a lid to said wire frame in such a manner that said lid is removably positioned entirely along said open top end of said receptacle; and

hanging said wire frame from an existing support structure;

wherein said receptacle is a drywall mud-pan intercalated between an anterior portion and a posterior portion of said wire frame;

wherein said wire frame comprises

a hook located at said posterior portion;

a plurality of linear segments oppositely extending laterally away from said hook;

a plurality of U-shaped segments attached to said linear segments, respectively, and extended towards said anterior portion; and

a plurality of eyelets connected to said U-shaped segments, respectively;

wherein said lid comprises: a plurality of linear slots disposed parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

wherein said wire frame comprises: a plurality of fasteners pivotally coupled to said eyelets and said lid such that said lid is articulated, between an open position and a closed position, about a fulcrum axis oriented parallel to the centrally registered longitudinal axis;

a flexible wire strap spaced from said wire frame, said receptacle, and said lid; wherein said flexible wire strap is selectively morphed to a desired shape and engaged to the existing accessories for maintaining the existing accessories at a substantially stable position during drywall applications.
