Abstract: A container handle having an upper surface shaped to receive and unite firmly with a utensil handle having an oppositely shaped lower surface which immobilizes lateral surface movement in any direction and holds suspended a utensil work member over a pan while offering no resistance to lift-off separation. With container and utensil handles united, a sealed utensil shank entrance groove within a lid, or container handle rim and sidewall, is provided to dispose a utensil work member within the container below a lid and spaced apart from and above food therein. To fill the utensil shank entrance enclosure when a lid is installed on a container without a utensil in place, a mechanical or automatic groove filler is installed in the container handle which fills the groove to provide a uniformly sealed lid on the container.

Abstract: An improved syphon-cup paint spray gun assembly includes a spray paint gun and an associated cup container for paint having a cover and a syphon tube extending through the cover for drawing paint from the container through the tube and to the spray gun for discharge therefrom, the cover having a vent formed therethrough and an overflow reservoir connected with the vent exteriorly of the container for preventing passage of paint through the vent to the exterior of the assembly upon manipulation of the assembly by an operator thereof into a position wherein the paint contacts the vent and would otherwise flow through the vent and drip from the assembly. The overflow reservoir is mounted on the cover and includes a generally cup-shaped base defining an overflow chamber communicating with the lower vent and a removable cap attached to the base having a vent formed therethrough offset from the cover vent.
