Abstract
An improved consumer safety container for the storage and dispensing of flammable liquids, formed as a hollow chamber having a continuously closed inner surface, the chamber having formed therein a number of tubular extensions with openings for filling, pouring and venting the container. A spring-loaded compression closure device is mounted in these openings to provide an effective seal of the container. Closure attachment means position and protect the spring loaded compression closure means within the container. Flammable liquid may be filled into or dispensed from the container by release insertion means which disengage the compression closure device.
Claims17
An improved consumer safety container for the storage and dispensing of flammable liquids which comprises:
- liquid receptacle means having a hollow chamber for containing said flammable liquids,
- said chamber having formed therein one or more openings for filling of said container, the pouring from said container, and venting of said container;
- spring-loaded compression closure means fixedly attached to at least one of said one or more openings to provide an effective liquid seal of said openings from within said container;
- release insertion means for disengaging said spring-loaded compression closure means;
- whereby flammable liquid may be alternatively filled into or dispensed from said container,
- said release insertion means detachable from said spring-loaded compression closure means when not in use so as to be unobtrusive;
- and
- closure attachment means for securely and restrainably attaching said spring-loaded compression closure means within said container in said one or more openings, and allowing removability of said spring-loaded compression closure means from said container as desired.
A method for the dispensing of liquids, such as flammable liquids from a container having openings with spring-loaded compression closure means designed to telescopically receive spout insert means, said method for dispensing comprising the steps of:
- a. inserting a spout insert member into said spring-loaded compression closure means;
- b. pushing said spout insert member against a spout insert member receiving ridge within said spring-loaded compression closure means;
- c. sliding the substantially tubular spout cylinder member within said spring-loaded compression closure means;
- d. disengaging said spring-loaded compression closure means by said sliding movement;
- e. exposing one or more port inlets in the substantially tubular spout cylinder member to the flammable liquid within the container through said disengagement of said spring-loaded compression closure means;
- f. pouring said flammable liquid through said port inlets, into and through said spout cylinder member, into and through said spout insert member and to a desired point of use;
- and
- detachably removing said spout insert member from said spring-loaded compression closure means.
