Oil spout container

Claim 1

An oil spout container comprising: a tubular member having an open upper end adapted to receive an oil spout and having an enclosed lower end adapted to retain the oil spout within the member, the lower end being apertured to drain oil from the member; said tubular member having a length between the open upper end and the enclosed lower end greater than the length of the oil spout; said open upper end having an annular rim; a cap frictionally removably mounted to the member's upper end to enclose the member; said cap having a complementary groove formed therein for slidably receiving the annular rim of the upper end of the tubular member to seal the upper end to prevent the oil from becoming contaminated; said cap having a knurled peripheral surface to enable the cap to be easily gripped and slidably mounted on and removed from the annular rim of the upper end of the tubular member; said enclosed lower end being conical shaped with a central apex to enable the oil to drain toward the apex; and said enclosed end having a plurality of apertures formed therein to enable oil to drain therethrough wherein at least some of the apertures are spaced from the apex to facilitate rapid draining; an oil cup frictionally removably mounted to the member's lower end for enclosing the aperture and for accumulating oil draining from the members through the aperture so that the oil cup serves both as an accumulator to store the draining oil and a frictional enclosure to the aperture to prevent the drained oil from becoming contaminated.
