  • Patent number: 4834269
    Abstract: A liquid container provided with a peripheral wall which forms a closed chamber and at least partially bounds a region external to the chamber. The user's arm may be inserted within the bounded region to grip a pouring handle which defines a fulcrum about which the container may be tilted during pouring. The portion of the peripheral wall bounding the region external to the chamber is contacted by the user's arm during pouring to stabilize the container. A discharge port is located near the container bottom so that the containers may be tilted only over a relatively small angle with respect to the vertical to substantially empty the container. A transparent hose having a graduated scale and coupled to the discharge port provides a visual indication of liquid level in the container before and after pouring.
