Claims18
A fluid transfer apparatus comprising a first container including a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, a top, a bottom, a threaded pour spout on which a screw cap is installed extending from the top, and a curved handle extending from the top, said bottom comprising a lip proximate to the front wall, a boss proximate to the rear wall, a first clip adapted to engage the boss, a cylindrical recess adapted to receive a capped pour spout of an underlying container and an arcuate recess adapted to receive at least a portion of a handle of an underlying container.
A fluid transfer apparatus comprising a plurality of containers, each of said plurality of containers including a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, a top, a bottom, a threaded pour spout on which a screw cap is installed extending from the top, and a curved handle extending from the top, said bottom comprising a lip proximate to the front wall, a boss proximate to the rear wall, a first clip adapted to engage the boss of one of said plurality of containers, a cylindrical recess adapted to receive a capped pour spout of an underlying container, and an arcuate recess adapted to receive at least a portion of a handle of an underlying container.
A fluid transfer apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first container and a second container, each of said first and second containers including a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, a top, a bottom, a threaded pour spout on which a screw cap is installed extending from the top, and a curved handle extending from the top, said bottom comprising a lip proximate to the front wall, a boss proximate to the rear wall, a cylindrical recess adapted to receive a capped pour spout of an underlying container, and an arcuate recess adapted to receive at least a portion of a handle of an underlying container, wherein the first container and the second container are stacked with the threaded pour spout on which a screw cap is installed of the first container received within the cylindrical recess of the second container and a portion of the handle of the first container received in the arcuate recess of the second container;
- (b) a first clip, wherein the first clip is adapted to engage the boss of said first container, is coupled to an axle on which a pair of wheels is mounted, and is attached to a pole adapted to extend upwardly from the clip adjacent the back wall of the first container;
- and
- (c) a second clip adapted to couple the pole to the curved handle extending from the top of said first container.
