ABSTRACT:
A pull-top closure for a container and a method of using the container incorporating the closure. The container is of the type commonly used for motor oil. It includes a main body having a top wall, a spout projecting upwardly from the top wall adjacent to one side of the body and terminating in a mouth. The top wall slopes from the spout to an upper corner on the opposite side of the body from the spout. The closure includes a seal releasably sealed to the mouth of the spout, a stem connected to the seal on the opposite side thereof from the upper corner and doubled back over the seal so as to extend toward the upper corner, and a ring connected to the stem so that the ring can be extended over the top wall between the spout and the upper corner. With the seal on the mouth of the spout, the container can be grasped around the upper corner between the thumb and middle finger of one hand so that the forefinger can extend over the top wall and be inserted into the ring thereby to hook the ring, and then the container inverted. The spout can then be inserted into the filler opening of an engine or other receptacle and the seal pulled off with the forefinger hooking the ring. This entire procedure can be accomplished with one hand of the user.
