Abstract

The spill proof and shotgun release container has several functions and benefits. #1 the Container has a screw on lid that holds content from spilling. #2 under the screw off lid Is thin seal that will break away under slight pressure to the container walls. #3 the Bottom of the container will have a pull away tab that is used in conjunction with #2. In short, one example would be a motor oil bottle that when the cap is unscrewed and Inserted into the engine oil receiver, can be squeezed to allow the seal to break open, and then the pull tab on the bottom of said container can be opened to allow air into the container for effortless discharge. This will eliminate oil spilling and produce fast and effortless discharge for customers and technicians.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A container comprising of a bottom, front, and back panel.  
   
   
       2 . A first and second side panel, each extending integrally from the bottom panel.  
   
   
       3 . On the top and inverted center mounting funnel extending integrally from the front, back, first side and second side panels.  
   
   
       4 . The funnel portion has an opening at the top to form a mouth.  
   
   
       5 . The container neck(funnel area) will have an outer ridge that will go down the top of the neck in a spiral motion.  
   
   
       6 . A cap assembly will fit over the container neck and will have grooves that match the outer ridge neck portion of said container.  
   
   
       7 . The said cap will have a seal at the bottom that when twisted in a counter clockwise motion will break and release to allow the cap to unthread from said container neck.  
   
   
       8 . The said cap will have a rough outer texture allowing the user to grip the container cap and remove it.  
   
   
       9 . A break away seal that will be on the container neck mouth portion between the cap and container will be present to seal all contents in said container.  
   
   
       10 . This break away seal will be a standard thickness around the contact area of said seal and mouth point of the container neck area.  
   
   
       11 . Just inside the bond area of said seal will be the fold away point of the seal. This will be in a circular form and will be less thick to allow for bend opening.  
   
   
       12 . The seal will have slits that are less thick than the bonding point of the seal for break open capabilities for discharge of fluids.  
   
   
       13 . At the center point of said seal will be a small circular break away point the same thickness of #12, this is the focal point of break away seal.  
   
   
       14 . On the bottom of said container will be a pull away tab that will be used to allow air into the container.  
   
   
       15 . A lid surface having a pre-formed opening smaller than the bottom of said container.  
   
   
       16 . A pull tab roughly but not limited to the size of a finger tip.  
   
   
       17 . A contact point of said pull tab to the smaller end of the pre-formed opening.  
   
   
       18 . When pulling said tab the pre-formed opening will break away from said container bottom, allowing air into said container.
