ABSTRACT:
A liquid transportation container is substantially rectangular in shape and includes a rectangular container body and an upper flange portion in the form of a sleeve which attaches to the upper edge of the container body. The upper flange portion is separate and is attached by engagement between two shoulders defined around the upper portion of the container body and held in place by a strap wrapped around the upper flange portion. The top wall of the container has two openings one of which is arranged at a height above the other thus forming an inclined wall extending downwardly from one opening adjacent one side wall toward the second opening adjacent an opposed side wall. The second opening is retained within a recess. The first opening is arranged immediately adjacent the side wall to allow complete draining when the container is inverted. The bottom wall has an incline matching that of the top wall but reversed through 180 degrees so the liquid drains to a position directly underneath the first opening allowing complete extraction by a dip tube. A recess adjacent the opposed side wall in the bottom wall can receive the closure member in the first opening of a similar container stacked underneath the first container.
