ABSTRACT:
A frusto conic stabilization device, open on each end, for the stabilization of a frusto conic liquid container. The stabilization device is inverted relative to the frusto conic liquid container with the larger open end surface of the stabilization device for resting on a support surface whereby the open smaller surface of the stabilization device receives the small closed end of the liquid container therein. The liquid container is supported on or slightly elevated from the fixed surface. The weight of the container and any liquid therein, forces the liquid container to wedge downwardly in the upper stabilization device opening when the container is elevated an. When the container rests on the support surface the edges of the opening in the stabilization device should be closely adjacent to the walls of the container. A plurality of frangible recesses positioned horizontally circumferentially around the stabilization device permit it to be adapted to a variety of container sizes. The shape of the stabilization device allows for easy stacking of the device for shipping and point of sale dispensing.
