Abstract
A flammable gel is arranged for extrusion through a nozzle of the associated container, wherein the container includes support legs pivotally mounted about a cylindrical collar secured to the container adjacent a top portion of the container, with the collar including the pivotal legs each including feet secured to the floor of the container in a first position relative to a second position, wherein the legs are projected beyond the container cap member to position the cap member for extrusion of the gel. Agitator structure is provided within the container to effect agitation of the gel for use in projecting the gel in a convenient manner to assist in a starting of fires.
Claims2
A gel dispenser apparatus for expressing a flammable gel comprises,
- a cylindrical container, the cylindrical container formed of a flexible shape-retentent material defined along an axis, and
- the cylindrical container including a cylindrical side wall, a planar floor mounted to a first end of the cylindrical side wall, and
- a top wall, and
- a cap member mounted to the top wall, with the cap member including a nozzle to permit expressing of the gel therethrough, and
- mounting means for selectively mounting the cylindrical container in a vertical orientation, and
- the mounting means includes a cylindrical abutment flange integrally mounted to the cylindrical side wall adjacent the top wall, wherein the abutment flange includes a cylindrical collar mounted to the cylindrical side wall in abutment with the cylindrical flange between the cylindrical flange and the top wall, and the cylindrical collar including a plurality of leg pivots mounted to the cylindrical collar extending radially beyond the cylindrical collar and the abutment flange, and each leg pivot including a support leg pivotally mounted to each pivot, each support leg defined by a predetermined length, the predetermined length substantially equal to a length defined between the leg pivot and the floor, and each support leg including a support leg foot orthogonally and integrally mounted to each distal end of each support leg spaced from each leg pivot, wherein each support leg is arranged in a first position extending beyond the nozzle and pivotal to a second position, wherein each support leg foot is in engagement with the floor, and
- the floor includes a support pivot, the support pivot mounted to the floor interiorly of the container coaxially aligned with the axis, and the support pivot including a tether rod, the tether rod mounting an agitator member at a distal end of the tether rod spaced from the support pivot, and
- the agitator member includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate including a plurality of radial legs arranged in a single plane, wherein each of the radial legs include an agitator sphere mounted to each radial leg at a distal end of each radial leg spaced from the mounting plate.
