(54) Draincock assembly for a container


(57) A draincock assembly for a container includes a receiving member for fluid communication with the container and having a projection therein. The draincock assembly also includes a rotatable draincock being partially disposed in the receiving member having a fluid passageway and a guide slot cooperating with the projection to allow the draincock to be rotated and moved axially. The guide slot has a closed position relative to the projection to prevent the draincock from moving axially and draining fluid through the fluid passageway. The guide slot also has an open position rotated relative to the projection to allow the draincock to move axially and drain fluid through the fluid passageway.
