Abstract
An example fluid container includes a main body and a support leg. The main body has a bottom wall and a sidewall that extends from the bottom wall. The bottom wall has a bottom wall first internal surface and the sidewall has a sidewall first portion, a sidewall second portion, and defines a passageway. The bottom wall first internal surface extends from the sidewall second portion toward the passageway at a downward slope. The support leg extends from the main body and is sized and configured to support the fluid container.
Claims20
A fluid container comprising:
- a main body having a bottom wall and a sidewall, the bottom wall having a bottom wall first internal surface and a bottom wall second internal surface, the sidewall extending from the bottom wall and having a sidewall first internal surface, a sidewall second internal surface, and defining a passageway extending through the sidewall first internal surface, the sidewall first internal surface disposed at a first angle relative to the bottom wall first internal surface, the sidewall second internal surface disposed at a second angle relative to the bottom wall second internal surface, the second angle different than the first angle, the bottom wall second internal surface extending from the sidewall second internal surface to the bottom wall first internal surface, the bottom wall first internal surface extending from the bottom wall second internal surface at a downward slope, the bottom wall and the sidewall cooperatively defining a fluid holding cavity in fluid communication with the passageway;
- and
- a support leg extending from the main body.
A fluid container comprising:
- a main body having a bottom wall and a sidewall, the bottom wall having a bottom wall first internal surface and a bottom wall second internal surface, the sidewall extending from the bottom wall and having a sidewall first internal surface, a sidewall second internal surface, and defining a passageway extending through the sidewall first internal surface, the sidewall first internal surface disposed at a first angle relative to the bottom wall first internal surface, the sidewall second internal surface disposed at a second angle relative to the bottom wall second internal surface, the second angle different than the first angle, the bottom wall first internal surface having a first width, the bottom wall second internal surface extending from the sidewall second internal surface to the bottom wall first internal surface and having a second width that is greater than the first width, the bottom wall first internal surface being curved and extending from the bottom wall second internal surface at a downward slope, the bottom wall and the sidewall cooperatively defining a fluid holding cavity in fluid communication with the passageway;
- and
- a support leg extending from the main body.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of fluid containers, each fluid container having:
- a main body having a bottom wall and a sidewall, the bottom wall having a bottom wall first internal surface and a bottom wall second internal surface, the sidewall extending from the bottom wall and having a sidewall first internal surface, a sidewall second internal surface, and defining a passageway extending through the sidewall first internal surface, the sidewall first internal surface disposed at a first angle relative to the bottom wall first internal surface, the sidewall second internal surface disposed at a second angle relative to the bottom wall second internal surface, the second angle different than the first angle, the bottom wall second internal surface extending from the sidewall second internal surface to the bottom wall first internal surface, the bottom wall first internal surface extending from the bottom wall second internal surface at a downward slope, the bottom wall and the sidewall cooperatively defining a fluid holding cavity in fluid communication with the passageway;
- and
- a support leg extending from the main body;
- and
- a tubular member having a plurality of ends, a first end of the plurality of ends in communication with the fluid holding cavity of a first container of the plurality of fluid containers, a second end of the plurality of ends in communication with the fluid holding cavity of a second container of the plurality of fluid containers.
