ABSTRACT:
A container having a pouring spout for pouring oil into an engine (14). The container has a cap (24) which is screwed onto a neck portion (16) of the container. The cap (24) has radial ribs (32) tapering toward the cap bottom (28). The end of the neck portion (20) has a reduced diameter and is aligned with a breakable portion (28a) formed in the cap bottom. In use, the container is inserted in an inverted position so that the spout attends into an inlet opening (11) of the engine. Radial ribs (32) are wedged in the inlet opening by applying an axial force to the container body (10), and the body is then rotated with respect to the immovable cap (24). As a result of this rotation, the reduced-diameter portion (20) of the container neck moves axially toward the breakable portion (28a) until the portion (20) breaks it, thus opening the container and allowing the oil to flow into the engine oil tank (14). Provision of ribs (32) forms air gaps (34) between the outer surface of the cap (24) and the inlet opening (11). This accelerates outflow of the oil. A part of the breakable portion (28a) remains with an increased thickness, so that the broken portion does not fall into the oil tank of the engine but remains connected to the container. The oil filling operation is clean, and the used container can be conveniently discarded as a single unit. In the second embodiment, a cap (24a) is snapped on a neck portion of the container, and the axial displacement of a container body (10a), which breaks a bottom portion (29), is performed manually, i.e., without the use of threads.
