Abstract
The container pouring assist system is a covering for a container that makes the container easier to pour by adding a handle to the bottom rear of the container and a spout to the top of the container. As non-limiting examples, the container may be a heavier container such as a 1 or 2 gallon milk and water container. Using the container pouring assist system the container may be lifted using the container's handle and then tilted using the handle provided by container pouring assist system. The spout may result in a more controlled, more predictable pour. The container pouring assist system may slip onto the container by placing a collar over the neck of the container and passing the base of container pouring assist system under the container until the container seats into the base.
Claims13
A container pouring assist system comprising:
- a base, a plurality of side supports, a collar, a handle, a spout, a rear corner of the base on a rear corner of the container pouring assist system, a front corner of the base on a front corner of the container pouring assist system, a left corner of the base on a left corner of the container pouring assist system, and a right corner of the base on a left corner of the container pouring assist system;
- wherein the front corner of the base is opposite the rear corner of the base;
- wherein the milk container is inserted through an opening bounded by the collar, the left corner of the base, the rear corner of the base, the right corner of the base, a side support of the plurality of side supports on the left corner of the container pouring assist system, and another side support of the plurality of side supports on the right corner of the container pouring assist system;
- wherein the container pouring assist system is a covering for a milk container that makes contents of the milk container easier to pour by adding the handle to the bottom rear of the milk container and the spout to the top of the milk container;
- wherein the base comprises a bottom panel and base sides;
- wherein the base provides support for the bottom of the milk container and prevents the milk container from slipping through the container pouring assist system and falling out of the bottom of the container pouring assist system;
- wherein the plurality of side supports couple to a top of the base;
- wherein the plurality of side supports are straps that couple the base to the collar;
- wherein the plurality of side supports cover container corners at the front, left, and right corners of the base;
- wherein the bottom of the plurality of side supports couple to the base;
- wherein the top of the plurality of side supports couple to the collar;
- wherein the collar is a ring that surrounds a neck of the milk container;
- wherein the collar supports an upper end of the plurality of side supports;
- wherein the plurality of side supports pull the collar downwards while pulling the base upwards, thus sandwiching the milk container between the collar and the base;
- wherein the collar is prevented from sliding down due to the widening of the milk container below the neck;
- wherein the base is prevented from lifting due to the bottom panel pressing against the bottom of the milk container;
- wherein the handle is a hand hold located on the base at a top of the rear corner of the base;
- wherein the handle provides a grasping point to assist in tilting the milk container;
- wherein the spout is a nozzle that couples to the top of the milk container to direct the flow of the contents towards the front corner of the container pouring assist system as the contents are poured from the milk container.
