International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

This is a vessel with a funnel like shape that threads into place to stop the vessel from falling over. This vessel may be any size or shape so that it can be gripped by the hand and threaded into place. It has a tapered shape from the top at its widest opening. At this widest opening it has a ribbed area around the top where you can grip it. This is a non slip area so you can thread it into place with your hand. As it tapers smaller to the bottom of the vessel there are threads around the spout area. These threads on the outside edge are used to thread the vessel into the head cover of an automobile or any other apparatus. The threads on the inside around the spout area are there to thread onto a container so it will not tip over when pouring liquids into the container. This is good for pouring liquids into an engine and the waste into a container. The threads make the vessel steady; this will stop the waste of material. This vessel is held up out of the engine by its threads so liquids flow faster because the spout is not hitting or resting on the inside of the engine.
