ABSTRACT:
An oil drain system having a collection receptacle that is generally rectangular with a fill spout adjacent one end. A funnel member is pivotally mounted on the receptacle and consists of a frame with a removable flexible sheet secured thereto to extend at an incline upwardly and outwardly from the fill spout end of the receptacle with the adjacent end of the sheet extending into the fill spout and gripped therein by a movable retainer. The receptacle is of low height so that the funnel member and receptacle may be positioned under the vehicle motor to receive oil drained therefrom. The flexible sheet and securement thereof to the fill spout provides a trough for flow of oil to the receptacle and the retainer has a portion forming an open obstruction to stop plugs or like objects while permitting oil to pass therethrough. A brace member is detachably connected to the receptacle to hold the funnel member in inclined relation. After use the flexible member is disconnected from the fill spout and the funnel member folded to overlying position relative to the receptacle. A closure is then applied to the fill spout. A handle is arranged on the end adjacent the fill spout and when not in use the receptacle may stand on the other end for storage.
