Abstract

See full text

A container assembly includes a container and a receptacle configured to be positioned within the container. The receptacle has an opening for dispensing fluid, and the container has an opening that aligns with the receptacle opening when the receptacle is positioned within the container. The container opening defines an ergonomic cutout portion for use in grasping the container for carrying the container and receptacle together, and for dispensing fluid from the receptacle when the receptacle is positioned within the container. The container can also include window openings for viewing fluid level in the receptacle when positioned within the container, and a knockout configured to be removed from the container to allow access to the receptacle through the container. And, the receptacle can include a handle for grasping in connection with the ergonomic cutout portion for use in carrying the container and receptacle together and dispensing fluid from the receptacle.
