Abstract

A liquid drainage system comprising, a receptacle having a chamber to receive the liquid, and a drainage tube communicating with the chamber. The system has a formed sheet of flexible material, with the sheet being of one-piece construction. The sheet has an elongated bar received in an upper portion of the receptacle, a first connecting portion extending from one side of the bar at a generally central location thereof, a first hinge extending across the sheet at an outer end of the first connecting portion, and a second elongated connecting portion extending from the first hinge on a side of the first hinge opposite the first connecting portion. The second connecting portion is flexed about the first hinge to align the first and second connecting portions in a facing relationship. The sheet has second and third hinges extending along opposed sides of the second connecting portion, and first and second hook members connected to the second and third hinges. The hook members have downwardly extending outer ends. The hook members are movable between a first position generally perpendicular to the receptacle to support the receptacle from an object, and a second position generally aligned with the receptacle with the outer ends of the hook members being located in front of the bar to form a handle to carry the receptacle.
