Disposable fluid vessel

Abstract

A fluid vessel is disclosed and includes a multiple disposable liners where each of the disposable liners includes a bottom floor and side walls extending away from and substantially perpendicular to the bottom floor such that a cavity is formed therein. The bottom floor includes an aperture defined therein and the bottom floor slopes in a plurality of directions to facilitate a movement of a fluid disposed in a top one of the plurality of disposable liners toward the aperture.

         2 . The fluid vessel of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of side walls include a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall, wherein an intersection of the first and second side walls form a first corner, and wherein the first and second side walls taper in a direction away from the first corner. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid vessel of  claim 2 , wherein the intersection of the second and third side walls form a second corner, the intersection of the third and fourth side walls form a third corner, and the intersection of the first and fourth side walls form a fourth intersection. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid vessel of  claim 3 , wherein the bottom floor includes a crease that extends from the first corner to the third corner. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid vessel of  claim 4 , wherein the aperture is located near the first corner. 
     
     
         6 . The fluid vessel of  claim 5 , wherein the crease divides the bottom floor into two triangular halves and wherein each triangular half slopes toward the crease and/or toward the aperture. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid vessel of  claim 1  further comprising a substrate that has a thickness greater than a thickness of each of the plurality of disposable liners, wherein the plurality of disposable liners reside in the substrate. 
     
     
         8 . A fluid container assembly for the disposal of hazardous fluids comprising:
 a rigid fluid container having a recess defined in a top surface;   a surface aperture defined in the recess; and   a disposable liner having a similar shape as the recess and being disposed in the recess;   an aperture defined in the disposable liner that is aligned with the surface aperture when the disposable liner is disposed in the recess thereby facilitating the draining of the fluid.   
     
     
         9 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 8  further comprising a cavity defined inside the rigid fluid container adapted to hold fluid. 
     
     
         10 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 8 , wherein a lip is formed around a perimeter of the disposable liner and a ledge is formed around a perimeter of the recess, wherein the lip contacts the ledge when the disposable liner is disposed inside the recess. 
     
     
         11 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the disposable liner includes a bottom floor and a plurality of side walls extending away from and substantially perpendicular to the bottom floor such that a cavity is formed therein. 
     
     
         12 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the aperture is defined in the bottom floor and wherein the bottom floor slopes in a plurality of directions to facilitate a movement of the fluid toward the aperture. 
     
     
         13 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the disposable liner includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall, wherein an intersection of the first and second side walls form a first corner, and wherein the first and second side walls taper in a direction away from the first corner. 
     
     
         14 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the intersection of the second a third side walls form a second corner, the intersection of the third and fourth side walls form a third corner, the intersection of the first and fourth side walls form a fourth intersection and wherein the bottom floor includes a crease that extends from the first corner to the third corner. 
     
     
         15 . The fluid container assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the crease divides the bottom floor into two triangular halves and wherein each triangular half slopes toward the crease and/or toward the aperture. 
     
     
         16 . A method of disposing of a fluid comprising:
 providing a fluid container;   positioning a disposable liner in a recess of the fluid container;   transferring a fluid from a source into the disposable liner;   transferring the fluid from the disposable liner to a transportable fluid container;   removing the disposable liner from the recess of the fluid container; and   disposing of the disposable liner.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the fluid container includes a cavity defined therein and the fluid is drained from the disposable liner via an aperture defined in a bottom floor of the disposable liner and a surface aperture defined in the recess to the cavity and wherein the fluid container is the transportable fluid container. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the disposable liner includes a first side wall, a second side wall, a third side wall, and a fourth side wall, wherein an intersection of the first and second side walls form a first corner, and wherein the first and second side walls taper in a direction away from the first corner. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the intersection of the second a third side walls form a second corner, the intersection of the third and fourth side walls form a third corner, the intersection of the first and fourth side walls form a fourth intersection and wherein the bottom floor includes a crease that extends from the first corner to the third corner. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the crease divides the bottom floor into two triangular halves and wherein each triangular half slopes toward the crease and/or toward the aperture.
