Abstract
Abstract A hot waste oil or shortening transport device comprising an elongated wholly closed tank or the like with an entry-exit chute at one end and wheels on the other end. A handle at the chute end serves to wheel the tank to a disposal point where the chute acts as a fulcrum by which to pivot the tank up and pour out the contents, with the greatest safety. The device cannot be set upright, in which postion it would be liable to upset or knock-over.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
240 words
A fluid waste transporter comprising: (a) an elongated container having a hollow interior enclosed by walls on all sides and by an end wall at one end and provided with a chute at the other end, said chute being in communication with said hollow interior; (b) a perforated partition mounted at said other end of said elongated container and in parallel spaced relation to said end wall, said perforated partition extending across said hollow interior and separating said hollow interior from said chute; (c) said chute formed with a front side disposed at an angle to both said perforated partition and said end wall, the free edge of said front side terminating in a reentrant lip; (d) a first U-shaped member secured at one end to said front side of said chute adjacent said reentrant lip thereof and extending at its other end in parallel spaced relation to both said perforated partition and said end wall beyond said elongated container; (e) a second U-shaped member secured at one end to said elongated container adjacent its said end wall and extending at its other end in a direction at an angle to and beyond said end wall; and (f) a pair of wheels mounted to said second U-shaped member about an axis located in front of said end wall such that its peripheries and said first U-shaped member combine to support said elongated container in substantially parallel spaced relation to ground.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
