A container holds fluids, such as motor oil, and is sized to hold about one quart or one liter. The container has a rectangular base portion, and a top portion is formed integral with the base portion, the top portion being shaped like an offset, inverted funnel. The top portion has an opening forming a mouth, an outside edge of the mouth being in substantial alignment with a first side of the base portion. A concave, arcuate top panel extends from an opposing second side of the base portion to the mouth, and the top panel has a ridge along the center of its length for increasing top load strength and for providing a flow channel for fluid within the container.

To add toner to the toner hopper of an electrostatic reproduction machine without contaminating either the operator or the interior of the machine, an improved toner bottle and receiver coact so as to eliminate or minimize the danger of generating toner clouds or spilling toner during the loading operation. The bottle has a body and a cap rotatably mounted on one end of the body. The body has a plurality of locating and locking lugs which coact with corresponding channels in the receiver so that the bottle can be inserted into the receiver in only one position. When a closed toner bottle is inserted into the receiver, a lip serves both to position the cap relative to an inlet opening of the receiver, and to retain the cap in this position as the body is rotated so that openings in the body and cap are aligned with the inlet opening; a suitable mechanism stops the body when the three openings are aligned. As the body is rotated, the bottle is simultaneously locked onto the hopper by the lugs being moved out of alignment with their corresponding channels. After being locked onto the hopper a bellows portion of the body is compressed to expel toner into the hopper. In order to remove the bottle from the hopper, it must be returned to its initial position which also closes the bottle.
