Abstract
A stand for container inversion is provided to allow for prompt, efficient, and full dispensing of viscous material from their containers. A cup-shaped stand is interposed between a bottle and its cap, the stand defining a support surface to allow the container to be maintained in an inverted posture. The stand may be an integral portion of the bottle or of the cap, or it may be a separate entity altogether. Additionally, the stand may be configured such as to nestingly receive the bottom of the container or bottle when implementation of the stand is not desired.
