ABSTRACT:
A holder comprises an upper section with a generally longitudinal slot forming a passage through a tubular wall member, a lower section with an open first end and an opposite second end, a connecting means for attaching the upper section with the lower section, and an end closure at the bottom of the lower section is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the lower section has a tubular wall member with a generally frustoconical inner surface.
An apparatus comprises a container placed in the holder. In a preferred embodiment, the container may be placed on the connecting means of the holder. In another preferred embodiment, the container may rest on the frustoconical inner surface of the tubular wall member of the lower section of the holder. In yet another preferred embodiment, the container may be positioned on the end closure of the lower section.
A method for decreasing spills from the container comprises positioning the container in the holder; restraining movements of the container inside the holder; directing a spill from the container through an existing annular gap between the outer surface of the container and the inner surface of the holder into a reservoir; and collecting a spill from the container in the annular gap in the holder which serves as the reservoir.
