Liquid container apparatus having a drain conduit secured to a handle

Abstract

Container apparatus includes a container for a liquid and a hose or conduit connected to the bottom of the container through which liquid flows outwardly. The hose or conduit extends upwardly along the side of the container for storage purposes and is moved outwardly and downwardly to allow liquid to flow from the container through the hose or conduit. Different embodiments are illustrated, with the upper or discharge end of a hose or conduit secured to a breather spout for storage purposes and removed therefrom for draining the liquid from the container. The container apparatus includes a handle, and the handle includes a slot which receives the hose for storage purposes. The handle accordingly is disposed adjacent to the breather spout. Shutoff elements or valves are disclosed in two embodiments which serve as a double security for preventing the draining of the liquid inadvertently. The valve elements must be rotated away from their storage position in order to allow liquid to flow. Another embodiment discloses a container for holding a drinkable or potable liquid. The discharge conduit is secured to the container by a web and is closed by a cap. A convolution or pleated portion of the conduit above the connector web allows the outer or discharge end of the conduit to be maneuvered as desired by a user of the apparatus. The discharge end is closed by a cap.
