Abstract
A device which is adapted to receive a liquid having particles suspended therein includes a one-piece plastic container having an open top, a closed bottom, and an endless side wall extending between the open top and closed bottom to define with the bottom of the container a hollow interior thereof. A partition structure which is integral with the side wall of the container is situated between the open top and closed bottom thereof to define in the interior of the container upper and lower chambers separated from each other by the partition structure. This partition structure extends across the interior of the container and has therein a free edge defining with an inner surface of the side wall of the container an opening through which the above chambers communicate with each other. When a liquid having particles suspended therein is introduced into the container to an elevation higher than the partition structure, the particles will settle into the lower chamber while a clear liquid substantially free of these particles remains in the upper chamber and can be poured out of the container from the upper chamber thereof substantially free of the particles which settle in the lower chamber.
