  • Patent number: 7048150
    Abstract: A fluid container for use in accessing an obstructed fill port of a machine for inserting fluids therein includes a housing for containing a fluid, the housing having a top surface with an opening formed therein. A collapsible tube is aligned with the opening and affixed to the housing for providing a fluid exit path, the tube being manually extended and retracted. A channel is formed on the top surface of the housing for receiving the collapsible tube when the tube is in a retracted lateral position. An alternative embodiment of the fluid container exhibits a molded pocket formed beneath the bottom surface of a first housing for receiving a collapsible tube of a second housing when the collapsible tube of the second housing is in a retracted lateral position. Both the channel and the molded pocket facilitate vertical stacking of the containers.
