Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to a fluid container that includes a reservoir configured for holding a fluid, the reservoir defined by a top, a bottom, and a surrounding wall formed therebetween; an opening in the top configured for filling fluid into the reservoir; a neck proximate to the opening; a coupler configured for coupling a spout to the fluid container, wherein the spout is slidingly movable through the coupler from a first position to a second position.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A fluid container comprising:
a reservoir configured for holding a fluid, the reservoir defined by a top, a bottom, and a surrounding wall formed therebetween; an opening in the top configured for filling fluid into the reservoir; a neck proximate to the opening; a coupler configured for coupling a spout to the fluid container, wherein the spout is slidingly movable through the coupler from a first position to a second position.
2 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the fluid container further comprises at least some of the fluid.
3 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is a liquid.
4 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises a hydrocarbon.
5 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises motor oil.
6 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the fluid container comprises a volume of the fluid of about 0.1 to about 1 quart.
7 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the first position comprises the spout at least partially within the reservoir.
8 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the second position comprises the spout at least partially within the reservoir.
9 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the first position comprises a stored position, and wherein the second position comprises a dissemination position.
10 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the coupler comprises a vent configured to provide pressure equalization between inside and outside the reservoir.
11 . The fluid container of claim 1 , wherein the spout comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first position comprises the first end proximate to the neck, and wherein the second position comprises the second end proximate to the neck.
12 . The fluid container of claim 1 , the fluid container comprises a cap threadingly engaged with the neck in a locked position.
13 . The fluid container of claim 12 , wherein the cap is configured to be actuatable from the locked position to an unlocked position.
14 . The fluid container of claim 13 , wherein upon being moved to the unlocked position, a bias member is enabled, and wherein the bias member is configured to urge the spout from the first position to the second position.
15 . A large mouth motor oil bottle comprising:
a reservoir configured for holding motor oil, the reservoir defined by a top, a bottom, and a surrounding wall formed therebetween; an opening in the top configured for filling fluid into the reservoir; a neck proximate to the opening; a flexible coupler configured for coupling a spout to the large mouth oil container, wherein the spout is configured to, upon activation, slidingly move through the coupler from a first position to a second position.
16 . The large mouth motor oil bottle of claim 15 , wherein the bottle further comprises at least some motor oil.
17 . The fluid container of claim 16 , wherein the large mouth motor oil bottle comprises a volume of motor oil of about 0.1 to about 1.5 quarts.
18 . The fluid container of claim 17 , wherein the first position comprises the spout at least partially within the reservoir, and wherein the second position comprises the spout at least partially within the reservoir.
19 . The fluid container of claim 18 , wherein the spout comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first position further comprises the first end proximate to the neck, and wherein the second position further comprises the second end proximate to the neck.
20 . The fluid container of claim 19 , wherein the spout is moved from the first position to the second position.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
