Abstract:
A fluid container time indicator, comprising:a) a fluid container having an upper portion and a lower portion, said fluid container having a wall which forms said fluid container, said wall having an outer surface; b) a stationary ring disposed on said outer surface of said wall adjacent to said upper portion, said stationary ring encircling said fluid container in substantially the horizontal plane, wherein said stationary ring comprises first timing indicia corresponding to hours and portions of hours of a selected time cycle spaced apart equally along said stationary ring; c) a track recess disposed on said outer surface of said wall adjacent to and below said stationary ring, said track recess encircling said fluid container in substantially the horizontal plane; and, d) a rotatable ring slidingly disposed in said track recess, wherein said rotatable ring comprises second timing indicia corresponding to hours and portions of hours of a selected time cycle spaced apart along said rotatable ring, wherein said rotatable ring comprises a zero time indication placed at the beginning of said second timing indicia to permit a user to determine the length of time which has passed since the fluid container was filled by placing the zero time indication of the rotatable ring at the first timing indicia corresponding to the actual time the fluid container was filled and then reading the length of time from the second timing indicia corresponding to the current actual time as road from the first timing indicia.
