  • Patent number: 6109581
    Abstract: A device for holding an inverted bottle or container is described. The device includes a cylindrically shaped tube with an outer wall of consistent diameter in the upward direction. The vessel may have ridges on an internal side to engage the top of an inverted container and to securely hold the container in an inverted position, allowing remaining material in the container to move by gravity to the container opening. The vessel is connected to a stabilizing structure or base in order to prevent the vessel form tipping over when loaded with a top heavy inverted container. The device is particularly useful for allowing extrication of remaining material from a nearly empty container, particularly relatively viscous material which is necessarily refrigerated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 1998
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2000
