Patent ID: 6945434

Claim:
A device that facilitates pouring liquid from a container, comprising: a generally square base having a back end and a front end; said base adapted to be supported atop a support surface; a sidewall formed integrally with said base at said front end; said sidewall disposed in normal relation to said base; said base having a flat top surface; said flat top surface of said base being adapted to support a generally flat bottom wall of a liquid-holding container having a handle; said liquid-holding container having said bottom wall, a top wall having a spout formed therein, a front wall, a back wall, and a pair of sidewalls, said handle being formed integrally with said back wall and being disposed reawardly of said spout; said sidewall of said base having a flat back surface adapted to abut said front wall of said liquid-holding container; said sidewall of said base having a curvature formed in a front surface thereof, said curvature extending from a lowermost end of said sidewall of said base to an uppermost end thereof; said curvature being uniform from a front of said device to a back thereof so that said device is stable when rotated onto said curvature, said back end of said base being lifted from said support surface when said container is rotated; a first foot formed at said back end of said base, said first foot having a curved bottom surface; a second foot formed at said front end of said base, said second foot having a curved bottom surface; and said curved bottom surface of said second foot being seamlessly formed with said curvature formed in said front surface of said sidewall of said base; whereby said liquid-holding container is supported by said flat top surface of said base when said device is in a position of repose; whereby said liquid-holding container is supported at least in part by said flat back surface of said sidewall of said base when said device is rotated onto said curvature; whereby liquid is poured from said container when said device is rotated onto said curvature by a user grasping the handle of the container so that said liquid is poured from said container in a direction away from said user; whereby said user need not lift the liquid-holding container from said flat top wall of said base during said pouring procedure; and whereby said user need not lift said device from said support surface during said pouring procedure.
