Abstract:
A method and device for transferring viscous fluid between bottles includes an upper section for receiving and engaging a first bottle to be emptied in an inverted orientation, and a lower section having a polyhedral prism exterior profile of smaller transverse section adapted to be received and engaged in the neck of a second bottle to receive the viscous fluid. An air flow exhaust path is provided between the upper section and the second bottle. A plurality of air passages conduct displaced air from the interior of the second bottle to the exhaust path, each configured with a circular segment cross-section defined between a respective face of the polyhedral prism and a respective arcuate section of the neck of the second bottle facing and spaced from that face. The upper and lower sections are configured to engage differently sized and configured bottle necks.

Claim (Index 17):
A fluid transfer device for transferring fluid from one container to another container of the type having a narrow neck at its upper end through which fluid flows in and out of the container, said device comprising:\n a hollow upper section including:\n an open top end; and \n a bottom wall having an upward facing interior surface, a downward facing exterior surface, and a flow transfer aperture defined therethrough; \n a lower section comprising a flow tube having a polygonal exterior in transverse cross-section, and an interior longitudinally extending flow passage disposed about a longitudinal axis of the fluid transfer device, said flow passage positioned in vertical adjacency and longitudinal alignment with said flow transfer aperture; wherein said upper section has a wider transverse cross section than said lower section; and further comprising\n a vertical spacer projecting downward from the downward facing exterior surface of the upper section bottom wall.
