Bucket (or bucket) - a vessel in the shape of a cylinder or inverted, truncated cone, formerly usually made of metal, now made of plastic, equipped with a movable, bow-shaped handle. It is usually used as a container for liquids or loose materials, mainly for manual transport.
The capacity of a typical bucket is about 10 to 15 liters, buckets of smaller and larger capacity are less common.
Metal buckets are made of steel sheet, galvanized or enameled. The bucket may have a metal ring called a foot at the bottom. The headband may be threaded through a wooden handle.
Small buckets with a capacity of about 2 liters are a commonly used children's sandbox toy. Plastic buckets and buckets (with food approval) are used in the food industry, where they are used to store and sell food products. They are then equipped with lids and often with security seals.
A device for deepening mining shafts is also called a bucket.
