ABSTRACT:
A device for holding containers, particularly plastic oil bottles, in the inverted position whereby the container may be completely emptied without the need for someone to hold the container the entire time. The invention comprises a pair of container lock plates, pivotally secured together, and each having an aperture approximately one and five-sixteenths inches in diameter; larger than the approximate one inch diameter of the neck of standard oil bottles. The lock plates further include a spring loaded clamp which is clipped over the edge of an oil funnel placed within the oil inlet tube of the engine to be serviced. After the invention is clipped into place on the oil funnel, the oil container is next inverted with its mouth and neck placed downward through the lock plate apertures. The lock plates are then pivoted in opposite directions, effectively decreasing the size of the opening and locking the oil container in place in an inverted position for emptying. The container may then be left in place for an extended period for complete emptying while the mechanic is free to accomplish other tasks.
