Abstract
A fluid container includes a body defining a storage compartment, an elongated spout carried by the body and in fluid communication with the storage compartment, and a swivel coupling between the spout on the body accommodating swiveling of the spout relative to the body about an axis extending upwardly from the bottom of the body. The spout may swivel between a pouring position extending away from the body and a storage position disposed closely adjacent to the body. The spout may be of light transmitting material and volume indicia may be formed on the body adjacent to the spout.
Claims13
A fluid container comprising:
- a body having a bottom and a top having a fill opening, and defining a storage compartment therein,
- an elongated spout carried by the body and in fluid communication with the storage compartment adjacent the bottom for pouring fluid therefrom,
- a swivel coupling between the spout and the body accommodating swiveling of the spout relative to the body, and
- an axis extending upwardly from the bottom of the body, relative to the top of the body and about which the spout is capable of swiveling.
A fluid container comprising:
- a body defining a storage compartment therein and having a top including a fill opening and a bottom,
- an elongated spout carried by the body and including a first end in fluid communication with the storage compartment adjacent to the bottom and a second end for pouring fluid from the spout the spout being formed of a light-transmitting material so that the level of fluid in the spout between the first and second ends is visible to a user, and
- volume indicia on the body adjacent to the spout so that the level of liquid in the spout between the first and second ends can easily be correlated with the indicia for indicating the volume of fluid in the storage compartment.
A fluid container comprising:
- a body defining a storage compartment therein and having a top including a fill opening, a bottom and a predetermined external contour between the top and the bottom,
- an elongated spout carried by the body and in fluid communication with the storage compartment for pouring fluid therefrom,
- a swivel coupling between the spout and the body accommodating swiveling of the spout, and
- an axis about which the spout is capable of swiveling between a pouring position extending away from the body and a storage position, wherein the spout and the axis are configured such that in the storage position the spout is disposed closely adjacent to the body and follows the predetermined contour of the body from the bottom to the top.
