Abstract
An apparatus for opening a fluid-filled container and pouring the fluid therefrom being comprised of a circular member with an inner and outer surface with an elongated rim therearound, the circular member being placed over the fluid container; a plurality of container-piercing blades disposed on the inner surface of the member; an opening through the circular member cooperable with one of the container-piercing blade; and a flexible tubular funnel attached at one end thereof around the opening, the funnel being of sufficient rigidity to not bend under the weight of the apparatus and the fluid-filled container thereby supporting the apparatus and the container at any desired angle while fluid is being poured therefrom.
Claims1
An apparatus for opening a fluid-filled cylindrical container of one gallon size or larger and pouring said fluid therefrom being comprised of:
- a circular cylindrical member slightly larger than said container, said member closed at one end to define an inner surface to be placed over said fluid-filled container;
- A container opening means disposed on said inner surface of the end of said member;
- an opening through said end cooperable with said container opening means;
- a flexible tubular funnel attached to said end thereof around said opening, said funnel being of sufficient flexibility to be positioned by hand pressure yet of sufficient rigidity to not bend under the weight of said apparatus and said fluid-filled container thereby supporting said apparatus and said container at any desired angle while fluid is being poured therefrom and a piercing means opposite said container opening means.
