Abstract
The spill-proof coloring container is an invention that because of its unique geometry and design, will when oriented in any position prevent spillage of liquid contents when filled to predetermined amount. Because of the use of vacuum formed sheet in the construction of the container, the container pieces are compactly stackable and are of substantially low manufacturing cost. The container is principally intended for use by young children to facilitate painting pictures and dying objects such as Easter eggs without the mess otherwise associated with painting and dying. The invention is also intended to help avoid the mess associated with pouring paint or paint powder concentrates otherwise encountered when preparing a cup of paint for general purpose painting.
Claims35
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and a funnel connected to said opening.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and wherein said container resists the spillage of non-gaseous fluid contents of said container when said container contains non-gaseous fluid contents and is oriented in any orientation.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, and an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and wherein at least a portion of an object is removably contained within said container.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and a funnel connected to said opening, and wherein at least a portion of an object is removably contained within said container, and wherein said container resists the spillage of non-gaseous fluid contents of said container when said container contains non-gaseous fluid contents and is oriented in any orientation.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, and an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, wherein said container contains non-gaseous fluid contents and a substantially solid-form object substantially immersed in said non-gaseous fluid contents, and wherein said container resists the spillage of said non-gaseous fluid contents of said container when said container contains said non-gaseous fluid contents and said substantially solid-form object substantially immersed in said non-gaseous fluid contents and is oriented in any orientation.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and at least one of a funnel connected to said opening and extending into said inner cavity and at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, and wherein said container contains a substantially solid-form object substantially immersed in a non-gaseous fluid.
A container for use in coloring eggs without spilling egg dye, said container having an inner cavity, an exterior, at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove formed in a wall of said container, an opening in a wall of said container providing communication between said inner cavity and the exterior of said container, and a funnel connected to said opening, and wherein said container is adapted such that when liquid and an object are contained within said container and said container is rotated, said liquid flows through said at least one non-gaseous fluid flow groove into a space within said container between said funnel and a container upper portion wall, and such that said object is prevented from moving into said space within said container between said funnel and an upper container portion wall.
