Abstract

A container for storing and pouring a liquid, such as motor oil, has top, bottom, and lateral walls, a spout extending upwardly from the top wall, and two interior partitions, which are horizontal in an upright position of the container. Each partition defines an orifice extending between such partition and a side wall. The partitions divide the container into primary, secondary, and tertiary chambers. The primary chamber, which is the lowest chamber when the container is upright, has a volume sufficient to contain a predetermined quantity of motor oil. The secondary and tertiary chambers have substantially smaller volumes. The partitions prevent the primary chamber from being emptied of a liquid, when the container is rotated in a prescribed direction, unless the container is inverted sufficiently to incline, at an angle of approximately 8.degree. from horizontal, a planar surface being defined by each partition and facing the other partition.
