ABSTRACT:
A portable liquid drain pan includes a V-shaped front end having a pour spout centered thereon and includes cantilever extensions projecting forwardly of the front end. When draining the pan, the extensions serve as lever arms to elevate the pouring spout. The extensions also move the pour spout forward toward the center of a bucket placed under the pour spout. A bottom of the drain pan is raised in a stair-step arrangement to direct the liquid to an outer channel between a lowest step and side walls of the container. When the back end of the container is lifted, the liquid travels along this channel to the front of the container. A raised partition formed in the front of each step guides the liquid to the pour spout. Casters are formed on the bottom of the drain pan to improve mobility. The front two casters are positioned slightly behind the front end wall to prevent slippage during draining and to allow the back end of the container to be raised easily. The side walls include C-shaped extensions, to which the extensions are integrally formed. The extensions abut against a vehicles tires, thereby centering the drain pan under the vehicle.
