An improved apparatus and method for holding articles on a ladder, operable with a combination of a tool belt, a tool box, and/or an apron. In one combination that uses all of these items, the apron has belt loops. The apron attaches to the sidewall of the tool box. The belt loops secure the tool belt. And the tool box with the apron and the tool belt attached is situated on the top step of the ladder. To stabilize the tool box on the top step, the apron has an edge overhang, which extends over at least part of the sidewall of the top step. For further stabilization, the belt loops also extend over at least part of the sidewall of the top step, thereby allowing the tightening of the tool belt around the sidewall of the top step. Additionally the tool box is stabilized on the step ladder by straps attached to either the tool box or to the apron itself. The straps extend underneath the top step of the step ladder.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Apparatus for holding articles on a pedestal, the pedestal being the type having an upper surface and a top sidewall extending downward and below relative to the upper surface, the apparatus comprising:a container for placement on the pedestal, the container having at least two opposing sides, an open interior for holding articles and a bottom surface configured to be disposed on the upper surface of the pedestal upon the container being placed on the pedestal; anda plurality of belt retaining members including at least two belt retaining members disposed on each of at least two of said opposing sides of the container;a belt supporting at least one of a pouch and a tool, said belt being retained around the container by said plurality of belt retaining members, with said at least one of a pouch and a tool extending from said belt beyond the bottom surface of said container;wherein, upon the container being placed on the pedestal, said at least one of a pouch and a tool extending from said belt overlaps the top sidewall of the pedestal. [12.] An assembly for holding articles on a pedestal, the pedestal being the type having an upper surface and a top sidewall extending downward and below relative to the upper surface, the assembly comprising the combination of:a container for placement on the pedestal, the container having at least two opposing sides, an open interior for holding articles and a bottom surface configured to be disposed on the upper surface of the pedestal upon the container being placed on the pedestal;at least two belt retaining members disposed on each of at least two of said opposing sides of the container; anda belt retained by the belt retaining members. Apparatus as recited in claim 12, wherein each belt retaining member comprises a belt loop which has a first end which is attached to the container, and a second end, which is attachable to the container by a releasable attaching means. An assembly as recited in claim 12, further comprising a first and a second straps located opposite each other on the outer peripheral surface of the container, each strap having a first and a second strap ends, each first strap end being attached to the container and each second strap end being connectable to the second strap end of the other strap, wherein the straps are extendable underneath the upper surface of the pedestal for strapping the container to the pedestal. An assembly as recited in claim 12, further comprising a strap located on the outer peripheral surface of the container, having a first and a second strap ends, the first strap end being attached to the container and the second strap end being releasably connectable to the outer peripheral surface of the container, wherein the strap is extendable underneath the upper surface of the pedestal for strapping the container to the pedestal. An assembly as recited in claim 12, wherein the belt includes means for holding tools along the length of the belt. [17.] A storage and support assembly for holding and supporting articles, the assembly comprising:a pedestal having an upper surface and a top sidewall extending downward and below relative to the upper surface;a container for placement on the pedestal, the container having at least two opposing sides, an open interior for holding articles and a bottom surface configured to be disposed on the upper surface of the pedestal upon the container being placed on the pedestal;a plurality of belt retaining members including at least one belt retaining member disposed on each of at least two of said opposing sides of the container; anda belt retained by said plurality of belt retaining members around the container, the belt supporting at least one of a pouch and a tool;wherein upon the container being placed on the pedestal the at least one of a pouch and a tool supported on the belt overlaps the top sidewall of the pedestal. An assembly as recited in claim 17, wherein the container has an outer peripheral wall having dimensions substantially similar to the dimensions of the top sidewall of the pedestal. An assembly as recited in claim 17, wherein said at least one belt retaining member secured to each of at least two of said opposing sides of the container comprises at least two belt retaining members secured to each of at least two of said opposing container sides.
