  • Patent number: 6412661
    Abstract: A clear plastic paint container including primary container and lid, both of which are threaded. The container is unique because of the spill resistant convex pour spout, liquid recovery drain trough, redundant sealing to preserve contents and recessed molded bottom hand grip for more effective handling. The no-waste, no-special tools, no-rust, no-label obliteration, corrosion resistant, and thermal resilient advantages are just some of the auxiliary features. These enhancements by far surpass the conventional wisdom of the container industry. The use of “PETE” (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic or equivalent transforms this container to an eye appealing and practical alternative. The opportunity to offer such an improvement by only slightly reducing contents. The paint industry must have a keen interest in this container, not only because of the growing demand for plastic containers but also the numerous advantages listed in the summary.
