Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a simple and efficient dispensing container for liquids such as motor oil. The container has a funnel overlay that can be easily removed to dispense the contents. The container also has a removable cap that can be easily disengaged from the container to use the funnel. The cap can be re-engaged to protect the container and funnel. The main advantage of this invention is that it provides a convenient and easy-to-use dispensing container with a funnel overlay that can be easily converted into a funnel for dispensing the container's contents."
Problems solved by technology
Often, however, when it is desirable to dispense the contents of a container, a funnel is not available or is separately located from the dispensing container.
However, these paper funnels are not study and tend to collapse when too much oil is poured into them.
Additionally, paper funnels are not easily stored for future use when dispensing the motor oil is not immediately desirable.
However, the shape of the container disclosed by Nilsson et al is not amenable to storage of single-use products like motor oil and the like.

The present invention provides a disposable dispensing container suitable for containing liquids comprising a hollow container; a funnel overlay that fits over the neck and top wall of the container during its storage condition and, when removed from its storage position, provides a funnel for dispensing the container's contents; and a removable cap being manually secured in engagement with the container to protectively maintain the cap over the container and over the funnel overlay in its storage position. Once the cap is disengaged from the container, and separated therefrom, the funnel overlay is readily converted into a funnel for dispensing the container's contents by removing the funnel overlay from its storage position and positioning the funnel overlay into an opening of a receptacle for receiving the contents of the dispensing container.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to a disposable container particularly suited for containing and dispensing motor oil and the like. In particular, the present invention comprises a disposable dispensing container having a funnel overlay that fits over the neck and top wall of the container during its storage condition and may be readily converted into a funnel for dispensing the container's contents. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Conventional disposable containers for containing motor oil and the like are well known in the prior art, as are funnels for dispensing contents of such containers in a manner to avoid excess spillage. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,253,504 to Rosen discloses an improved drain funnel formed by an elongated unitary main body member and having a spout integral with and at one end of the elongated unitary main body member. [0003] A piercing and pouring device for metal or paper containers of motor oil or the like, di...
