ABSTRACT:
A container holds fluids, such as motor oil, and is sized to hold about one quart or one liter. The container has a rectangular base portion, and a top portion is formed integral with the base portion, the top portion being shaped like an offset, inverted funnel. The top portion has an opening forming a mouth, an outside edge of the mouth being in substantial alignment with a first side of the base portion. A concave, arcuate top panel extends from an opposing second side of the base portion to the mouth, and the top panel has a ridge along the center of its length for increasing top load strength and for providing a flow channel for fluid within the container.
