Apparatus for disposal of waste motor oil

A valve device for transferring waste oil from a catching reservoir to an emptied oil vending container having a threaded neck, said device comprising:

• a) a vertical barrel elongated upon a center axis between upper and lower extremities with a channel extending between said upper and lower extremities, said upper extremity being vented to atmosphere, said lower extremity having a downwardly directed spout inwardly convergent upon said axis so as to have a conical contour,
• b) an entrance tube horizontally emergent from said barrel in communication therewith and terminating in a distal receiving extremity provided with first sealing means for achieving leak-proof joinder with said catching reservoir,
• c) a rotatable fluid-directing member housed within said barrel and having two straight channels for directing fluid flow, said channels being in a T-configuration consisting of a straight channel and transversely intersecting channel,
• d) bushing means disposed within said barrel in fluid-tight sliding abutment with said rotatable member,
• e) manual turning means exteriorly associated with said barrel and joined to said fluid-directing member for the rotation thereof between a closed position and an open position wherein said straight channel is coaxial with said barrel, thereby permitting downward flow of oil and upward flow of air through the barrel,
• f) a threaded annular closure cap rotatably disposed upon said barrel adjacent said lower extremity but above said dispensing spout, and adapted to engage said threaded neck, and
• g) second sealing means for preventing oil leakage between said barrel and said threaded neck.
