A bucket is typically a watertight, vertical cylinder or truncatedcone or square, with an open top and a flat bottom, attached to a semicircular carrying handle called the bail.[1][2]
A bucket is usually an open-top container. In contrast, a pail can have a top or lid and is a shipping container. In common usage, the two terms are often used interchangeably.
Types and uses[edit]
A number of bucket types exist, used for a variety of purposes. Though most of these are functional purposes, a number, including those constructed from precious metals, are used for ceremonial purposes. Common types of bucket and their adjoining purposes include:
- Water buckets used to carry water
- Household and garden buckets used for carrying liquids and granular products
- Elaborate ceremonial or ritual buckets constructed of bronze, ivory or other materials, found in several ancient or medieval cultures, sometimes known by the Latin for bucket, situla
- Large scoops or buckets attached to loaders and telehandlers for landscaping agricultural and purposes
- Crusher buckets attached to excavators used for crushing and recycling material in the construction industry
- Buckets shaped like castles often used as children's toys to shape and carry sand on a beach or in a sandpit
Though not always bucket shaped, lunch boxes are sometimes known as lunch pails or a lunch bucket. Buckets can be repurposed as seats, tool caddies, hydroponic gardens, chamber pots, 'street' drums, or livestock feeders, amongst other uses. Buckets are also repurposed for the use of long term food storage by survivalists.[3]
Shipping containers[edit]
When in reference to a shipping container, the term 'pail' is used as a technical term, specifically referring to a bucket shaped package with a sealed top or lid, which is then used as a transport container for chemicals and industrial products.[4]
