PREVENTION OF CHILDREN DROWNING IN PAILS

摘要

An insert (4) is positioned in the upper end of a pail (2), which pail contains a liquid. The insert (4) blocks entry of a child's head into the pail. The insert (4) is screwed into the upper end of the pail. Mating locking detents (18 and 20) are provided on the pail and on the insert so that the insert (4), once screwed into the pail (2), cannot be thereafter unscrewed from the pail. The insert allows ready withdrawal of the liquid from the pail (2). A child in the vicinity of a pail (2) equipped with the aforesaid insert (4) is protected from drowning in a liquid contained in the pail (2) because insert (4) prevents a child from accidentally, or intentionally, inserting his or her head into the pail (2).
