An oil drain system having a collection receptacle that is generally rectangular with a fill spout adjacent one end. A funnel member is pivotally mounted on the receptacle and consists of a frame with a removable flexible sheet secured thereto to extend at an incline upwardly and outwardly from the fill spout end of the receptacle with the adjacent end of the sheet extending into the fill spout and gripped therein by a movable retainer. The receptacle is of low height so that the funnel member and receptacle may be positioned under the vehicle motor to receive oil drained therefrom. The flexible sheet and securement thereof to the fill spout provides a trough for flow of oil to the receptacle and the retainer has a portion forming an open obstruction to stop plugs or like objects while permitting oil to pass therethrough. A brace member is detachably connected to the receptacle to hold the funnel member in inclined relation. After use the flexible member is disconnected from the fill spout and the funnel member folded to overlying position relative to the receptacle. A closure is then applied to the fill spout. A handle is arranged on the end adjacent the fill spout and when not in use the receptacle may stand on the other end for storage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed and desired to secure by Letters Patent is: 1.
An oil drain system for use in receiving and containing oil drained from a motor vehicle comprising: (a) a collection receptacle having integral top wall, bottom wall, side walls and end walls defining an elongate chamber, said receptacle being of a shape and size that the receptacle may selectively rest on each of the bottom and one end wall with carrying handle means in the other end wall, said other end wall having a portion inclined toward the top wall; (b) said receptacle having a tubular member in said inclined portion defining a fill opening therefor; and having ribs extending generally circumferentially thereof; (c) a closure cap for said fill opening and having ribs extending generally circumferentially thereof for removably engaging said ribs of the tubular member; (d) a funnel member hingedly connected to the receptacle top wall adjacent said other end wall and selectively movable to overlie said top wall; and to extend outwardly and upwardly relative to said other end wall and positionable under a drain opening of a motor crankcase; (e) said funnel member having a frame including side members and an end member remote from said tubular member; (f) a flexible member having edges connected to the frame side and end members and an end adjacent the tubular member having a connection to extend into said tubular member; (g) a brace member between said frame end member and the receptacle to position said frame member at a level above the tubular member for flow of material caught by the flexible member into the receptacle.
2.
An oil drain system as set forth in claim 1 wherein: (a) said funnel side members converge toward the receptacle and said other end of the flexible sheet member extends into the tubular member providing a trough for flow of oil to the receptacle; (b) resilient means is removably mounted inside of the other end of said flexible sheet and expands to grip said sheet between the tubular member and resilient means
