A modern take on the traditional spider bucket, Design Patent D1,096,494 — SPIDEWEB LED BUCKET, granted on October 7, 2025 — demonstrates how a simple concept can be reimagined through creative design. The familiar silhouette of the spider bucket is enhanced with a web-inspired motif and integrated LED lighting, blending function with visual appeal in a way that feels both modern and inventive.
The SPIDEWEB LED BUCKET exemplifies how design innovation doesn’t always require reinventing the wheel — sometimes, it’s about rethinking the details. The illuminated web pattern not only adds aesthetic intrigue but also serves a practical purpose, improving visibility and usability in low-light environments. This thoughtful approach transforms an everyday utility item into a statement piece, highlighting how design can elevate the ordinary.
From an intellectual property standpoint, the design patent protects the bucket’s distinctive ornamental features, safeguarding the creator’s unique expression of form. Developing and securing design patents can help brands and businesses distinguish their products in crowded markets, ensuring that innovation in style and functionality is recognized — and protected.
