  • Patent number: 9809353
    Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing liquids, with at least one stacking feature, a dispenser to dispense liquid contained in the container, a handle for carrying the container, an angle (?) which is the angle between a line (DD?) perpendicular to a reference lifting plane (Lp) cutting through the handle and a line parallel to a vertical of the container in a filling orientation, and a tilt angle (B) which is the angle between the line (DD?) and a line going through a location of a center of gravity of the filled container in the direction of a weight force of the container. When the container is in a filling orientation the tilt angle (B) and the angle (?) coincide, while when the container is lifted perpendicular to the lifting plane (Lp), the tilt angle (B) is substantially zero.
