below is an example of the handles of the invention applied to a cleaning bucket in accordance with the diagrams . the bucket is composed essentially of a container 2 and a pair of handles 3 . beneficially said bucket 1 can be accessorized with a series of compartments 4 inside the volume of the container 2 . these basket compartments are modular elements at the end 5 or in an intermediate position 6 . some of these compartments 4 can have a hinged cover 7 and / or interior partitions for creating further compartments 8 , as seen in fig1 . one of these covers 7 has an slit 9 in the middle up to the edge that is not hinged 10 so that it can close on the mouth of the relative compartment 5 also when there is a handle 11 of a manual cleaning implement 12 inside said compartment 5 , with said handle 11 protruding out of the cover 7 . as was said , the particularity of this bucket 1 lies in the configuration of the pair of handles 3 . these handles 3 are configured , eventually , but not essentially , in a mirror - like and / r symmetrical manner , as a pair of particularly shaped long - limbed elements . these handles 3 , moreover , are hinged near the top edge 13 of the container 2 . the hinging axis of the handles 3 is parallel to the longitudinal horizontal axis and sufficiently lateral and offset with respect the center line of the container 2 , so as to provide the bucket with good stability when being transported using said handles 3 . these handles 3 are composed ideally of several sections : a first lateral end section , or raised section 16 , a central section or grip 14 and an intermediate section between the raised section 16 and the grip 14 defined a containment section 15 , as clearly seen in the diagram of fig1 . the raised section 16 of the handles 3 is the one practically parallel to the orthogonal side and that distances the grip 14 of the handle 3 of the container 2 . the grip 14 is the central section of the handles 3 to be used as a grip for transporting the bucket 1 ; it is a pair of sections of both handles that join together . the containment segment 15 is the section of the handle 3 that connects on the one side the grip 14 and on the other the raised section 16 . at this section 15 , on its inner side , there is a free space 17 , with respect to the section itself of the handle 3 opposite . this free space 17 can be due either to the curvature of the containment segment 15 itself or because of its configuration . the function of this free space 17 along the containment segment 15 is to contain the handle 11 of a manual cleaning implement 12 housed inside the container 2 of the bucket 1 and whose handle 11 protrudes above the height of the handles 3 when these are raised above the container 2 . in particular , inside this free space 17 a handle 11 is kept restrained against transversal movements . by accessorizing the inner side of the containment segment 15 with one or more orthogonal protruding elements , and handle is kept firm and restrained against any longitudinal movements . a second preferred embodiment of the handles is shown in fig1 . in this variant , the space 17 between the containment segments 15 is arranged centrally along the extension of the handles 3 , while the gripping sections 14 are set alongside said containment segments 15 . evidently the handles 13 are too short to be gripped , making the bucket slide along the floor on its wheels . however , according to the invention the handle 11 of a cleaning implement 12 is available at a higher height than the grip 14 of the handles 13 . this handle 11 of a cleaning implement can be used , being held stably in the space 17 made by the containment segment 15 as a grip for moving and steering the bucket 1 with wheels on the bottom . the invention conceived and configured in this manner attains the pre - set objectives . obviously it can take on , in its practical realization , also forms and configurations different from that set out above , without leaving this ambit of protection . moreover , all the parts can be replaced by technically equivalent elements and the sizes , shapes and materials used will be those that are required .
the invention concerns a pair of handles of a cleaning bucket configured and / or shaped in such a way as to make the bucket extremely practical and handy , allowing it to contain / retain in the space between them the protruding handle of a cleaning implement housed in the underlying container .
