ABSTRACT:
A spout that fits all quart containers is characterized by a twist of the wrist to start and stop oil flow. The spout consists of a tubular cylinder into which an angled ball valve seat and a bubble run-off area has been incorporated. A steel ball moving on and off its valve seat due to the angle of the valve seat and gravity stops and starts the oil flow. When the bubble run-off area is pointed down, causing the steel ball to lodge itself in the bubble run-off area, the oil flows and with a twist of the wrist, making a 180 degree rotation of the spout, the bubble run-off area points up causing the steel ball to seat itself on the valve seat and the oil flow stops. The spout is excellent for hard to reach places and eliminates oil spills. Two tip sizes are incorporated in the spout for small and large filler openings. The small tip is for lawnmower and motorcycles for example and the larger for cars for example. The larger opening is obtained by cutting with a knife or razor or other cutting instrument the spout in a molded recessed area inward of the smaller tip.
