MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631062888 A) filed by C. V. Raman Global University, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, on May 18, for 'spill-resistant oil dispensing container with integrated oil collection and recirculation cap.'
Inventor(s) include Bhuvaneswari Kolusu; Smruti Rekha Swain; and Arka Ghosh.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A spill-resistant oil dispensing container with an integrated oil collection and recirculation cap is disclosed. The container comprises a bottle body fabricated from food-grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), an ergonomic anti-slip handle integrally formed with the bottle body, a Vneck precision pouring spout fabricated from food-grade Stainless Steel Grade 304 with a tapered geometry that controls the direction and rate of oil dispensing while minimizing lateral dribbling, and an oil collection cap assembly that constitutes the primary inventive element. The oil collection cap defines an internal cavity bounded by a raised peripheral barrier that retains accumulated postpour residual oil, and a plurality of recirculation holes formed through the base of the cavity that allow gravity-assisted drainage of the accumulated oil back into the bottle interior. A rear flowblocking back cap positioned on the spout assembly prevents backward migration of oil during dispensing, ensuring that all post-pour residual oil is directed into the collection cavity for recirculation. The screw-thread closure mechanism secures the oil collection cap to the bottle neck with a leak-free sealed connection. The complete assembly operates as a passive, mechanically actuated oil capture and recirculation circuit requiring no external energy input, moving parts, or user intervention beyond standard container handling. The invention eliminates the need for external drip trays or absorbent cloths, maintains hygienic kitchen conditions, prevents oil wastage, and reduces cleaning effort in both domestic and commercial cooking environments. The container is manufacturable using standard injection molding techniques and is suitable for a broad range of cooking oils including vegetable, sunflower, mustard, and olive oils."
