Abstract
Abstract A paint can hanger has a pair of parallel inner and outer members forming a channel which fits over a ladder side rail and with cutout portions receivable over a round rung or flat step. A web, spaced from the ladder side rail, joins the parallel members. A flange extends inwardly from the inner member and has two channellike fingers which fit over and embrace the can lip. A paint can is secured between the fingers and the side surface of the inner member, both when the hanger is on or off the ladder.
