    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a liquid container assembly.
    A problem with many known liquid tank assemblies is the difficulty of draining liquid from the liquid tank assembly. In particular, when the mass of the fluid reservoir assembly is reasonably large, e.g., 5 kg or more, accurate dosing of the fluid out of the fluid reservoir assembly typically requires that the fluid reservoir assembly be tilted with both hands. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to develop a liquid container assembly so that the above-mentioned problem can be solved. The object of the invention is achieved by a liquid container assembly, which is characterized by what is stated in the independent claim. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
    The invention is based on the fact that the liquid container assembly is provided with support means which provide the liquid container assembly with a basic position and a emptying position, in which the container opening is lower than in the basic position, and the liquid container assembly moves from the emptying position to the basic position.
    The advantage of the liquid tank assembly according to the invention is that liquid can be drained from the liquid tank assembly by deviating the position of the liquid tank from the basic position towards the emptying position, the liquid tank assembly being supported on the tank base such as a table surface by its support means. During liquid draining, the user does not have to support the entire weight of the liquid tank assembly, because the tank base applies support forces to the liquid tank assembly via support means.
    3 x Brief Description of the Drawings I The invention will now be described in more detail in connection with preferred embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a liquid container assembly according to an embodiment of the invention; > Figure 2 shows the liquid container assembly of Figure 1 in a storage position; Figure 3 shows the unopened fluid reservoir assembly of Figure 1 in the home position;
    Fig. 4 shows the liquid container assembly of Fig. 1 in an intermediate position in a situation where some liquid has been drained from the liquid container; and Fig. 5 shows the liquid container assembly of Fig. 1 in the emptying position in a situation where more liquid has been drained from the liquid container than in the situation of Fig. 4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 shows a fluid reservoir assembly comprising a fluid reservoir defined by a plurality of walls, support means having a base surface 42 and a rocking surface 44, and fluid within the fluid reservoir. The plurality of walls comprise a first wall 11, a second wall 12, a third wall 13, a fourth wall 14, a fifth wall 15, and a sixth wall 16. The first wall 11 is provided with a reservoir opening 2 adapted to provide fluid communication with the interior of the fluid reservoir and between the environment.
    Each of the plurality of walls 11 to 16 is a substantially planar wall.
    The second wall 12 is located in the first direction at a distance from the first wall 11, the first direction being a vertical direction in the figure.
    2. The first wall 11 defines a first plane and the second wall 12 defines a second plane such that the first angle α1 between the first plane and the second plane is 12 °. In alternative embodiments, the first angle between the first plane and the second plane is between 7 and 25 °.
    The third wall 13 and the fourth wall 14 are almost parallel to each other, and are spaced apart in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In Fig. 2, the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the pattern plane. The third wall 13 and the fourth wall 14 connect the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 to each other.
    = The fifth wall 15 and the sixth wall 16 are parallel to each other, and are spaced apart in a third direction <Q perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. In Fig. 2, the third direction is the horizontal direction. The fifth wall and the sixth wall 16 connect the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 of E30 to each other. In addition, the fifth wall N 15 and the sixth wall 16 connect the third wall 13 and the fourth wall S 14. The fifth wall 15 and the sixth wall 16 are perpendicular to the second wall 12.
    O N The fluid reservoir assembly is adapted to be stacked so that the Fifth Wall 15 of one fluid reservoir assembly in the stack rests on the sixth wall 16 of the second fluid reservoir assembly.
    16 are parallel. To achieve stackability, the third wall 13 and the fourth wall 14 are not completely parallel to each other, but the planes defined by them are at a small angle of less than 29 relative to each other.
    In Figures 2 to 5, the liquid container assembly is shown in partial section so that the first wall 11 and the sixth wall 16 are marked with visible dashed lines. In addition, in Figures 3 to 5, the surface of the liquid is marked with a dashed line
    66.
    In Figure 2, the fluid reservoir assembly is in a storage position with the normal of the outer surface of the second wall 12 facing straight down, and the first wall 11 forming the upper surface of the fluid reservoir. The second wall 12 is in contact with the tank base 77, which is a planar horizontal surface.
    In Figure 3, the full fluid reservoir assembly is in a home position with the fluid reservoir assembly in stable equilibrium, the outer surface of the second wall 12 normal at a base angle B with respect to the vertical, and the fluid reservoir assembly in contact with the reservoir base 77 via the base surface 42. The base angle PB is 65 °. In alternative embodiments, the base angle is in the range of 50 to 75 °. With the fluid reservoir assembly in the home position, the outer surface of the first wall 11 points slightly upward.
    The tank opening 2 is located in the edge area of the first surface 11 so that - when the liquid tank assembly is in the basic position, the tank opening 2 is higher than the center of the first wall 11. Also when the liquid tank assembly is in the storage position, the tank opening 2 is higher than the center of the first wall 11. In addition, the tank opening 2 is arranged so that when the liquid tank assembly in the basic position is inside the liquid tank, above the upper edge of the tank opening 2 - an upper space 33 adapted to prevent pulping when draining liquid from the liquid tank. In various embodiments, the ratio of the volume of the upper space to the total volume of the liquid container is in the range of 2 to 10%.
    N The volume of liquid in the liquid tank is smaller than the total volume of the liquid tank = so that when the unopened liquid tank assembly is in the basic position, the liquid surface 66 is flush with the lower edge of the tank opening 2. In this way, no liquid E flows out of the liquid tank in the basic position, even if the tank opening 2 is open. In alternative embodiments, the volume S of the liquid in the unopened liquid container is less than the total volume of the liquid container such that when the liquid container assembly is in the home position, the surface of the liquid is lower than the container opening. OF
    In the embodiment of Figure 1, the container opening 2 is closed by a screw cap 92. In an alternative embodiment, the container opening is closed by a tap, and the container opening is located in the basic position of the liquid container assembly below the liquid surface.
    In Fig. 5, the liquid tank assembly is in a drain position where the liquid tank assembly is in contact with the tank base 77 via the drain portion 448 of the rocker surface 44, the tank opening 2 is lower than the base position effect. The discharge position plane 108 is a vertical plane passing through the discharge portion 448. In Fig. 5, liquid has been drained from the liquid container so that the surface 66 of the liquid is flush with the lower edge of the container opening 2. The fluid reservoir assembly is adapted to be tilted from the home position to the drain position on the rocker surface 44. The rocking surface 44 is bounded at one end by the base surface 42. The rocking surface 44 is a curved surface. In an alternative embodiment, the rocking surface is another type of nonlinear surface. All positions of the fluid reservoir assembly between the home position and the empty position are intermediate positions in which the fluid reservoir assembly is adapted to contact the reservoir base through the respective intermediate position 444 of the rocker surface 44 gravity. The intermediate position plane 104 is a vertical plane passing through the intermediate portion 444. Figure 4 shows an intermediate position of the fluid reservoir assembly. In Fig. 4, liquid has been drained from the liquid container so that the liquid surface 66 is flush with the lower edge of the container opening 2. N With the fluid reservoir assembly in the drain position shown in Figure 5 the first portion of the volume of the liquid container is located above the lower edge of the container opening 2, the first portion being 80%. In alternative embodiments, the first proportion is in the range of 80 to 100%. N The rocker surface 44 is spaced from the liquid reservoir such that when the liquid reservoir assembly is in the empty position, the fluid reservoir as a whole is spaced from the reservoir base, said spacing being greater than N 35 than the wall thickness of the fluid reservoir. The rocking surface 44 comprises a first rocking surface portion 471 and a second rocking surface portion 472 spaced apart in the second direction. The first rocking surface portion 471 is formed by a third wall 13, and the second rocking surface portion 472 is formed by a fourth wall 14. That is, the first rocking surface portion 471 and the second rocking surface portion 472 are formed by extensions of the third wall 13 and fourth wall 14 which do not participate in delimiting the liquid container.
    The base surface 42 is spaced from the fluid reservoir. The base surface 42 comprises a first base surface portion 491 and a second base surface portion 492 spaced apart in the second direction. The first base surface portion 491 is formed by a third wall 13, and the second base surface portion 492 is formed by a fourth wall 14. The first base surface portion 491 and the second base surface portion 492 are formed by extensions of the third wall 13 and the fourth wall 14 which do not participate in delimiting the liquid container. In alternative embodiments, at least most of the base surface is spaced from the liquid container, said distance being greater than the wall thickness of the liquid container.
    The fluid reservoir assembly is adapted to move between the positions shown in Figures 2-5 by rotating about an axis of inclination. The tilt axis is parallel to the other direction, i.e. the tilt axis is perpendicular to the pattern plane in Figures 2 to 5.
    In the embodiment of Figure 1, the plurality of walls are made of liquid paperboard, and all the adhesives between the walls are located outside the liquid container. The adhesives are located in extensions of the third wall 13 and the fourth wall 14, which do not participate in delimiting the liquid container. In an alternative embodiment, the walls are made of cardboard and the interior of the liquid container is covered with a plastic bag.
    o In some embodiments, the volume of the liquid container is in the range of 3 to 30 liters. If the volume of the liquid tank is in the range of 5 to 10 liters, the liquid tank can be manufactured using typical packaging machines currently in use in Finland. = It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the basic idea of the invention can be implemented in many different ways. The invention and its embodiments are thus not limited to the examples described above E but may vary within the scope of the claims. o> OF
