TECHNICAL FIELD
The present description relates to the flowable material, particularly liquid, with a disposable cup used for pouring function. More specifically, the present description relates to a pouring artist using a disposable cup for pouring liquid paint on a canvas or any surface.
BACKGROUND
Most pouring artists use a disposable cup with a liquid paint that has been adjusted to the artist's desired consistency using water or other liquid medium materials. The artist then pours the liquid paint which is inside the disposable cup onto the canvas or any other desired surface, but if the canvas has drawn pictures or figures and so on, pouring with disposable cup does not work well, because the artist has less detail or precision control, if any, on the amount of paint that flows from the disposable cup. The artist also has less choice of style, pattern, texture or design in pouring of liquid paint from the disposable cup on to the canvas, which is extremely limited in the pouring process by the pouring artist. It also a takes lesser angle level for the direct use of a disposable cup for the pouring process and that means a lesser control angle by the artist or any other users.
BRIEF SUMMARY
The primary objectives are as follows. The first objective is to give the pouring artist more control on quantity and quality of detail of pouring and a more precise pouring along with a more creative variety of patterns, textures, designs and styles in the world of paint pouring art. The second objective is for the present device to be used directly with a flowable material, particularly liquid paint. The present device can be washed and used over and over and also can be used indirectly with a disposable cup for this pouring function. The third objective is to give the pouring artist options to manipulate mix-paint from the time liquid paint travels from the cup section to the scoop section. This is where the unique styles, textures, designs, and patterns of each artists pouring will be born and created The fourth objective is to have the scoop section embodied with a straight line, curve, or even angular pointed tip along with a variety of patterns, shapes and designs which create a variety of textures.
In the following description, the term vertical refers to an upright position and the term horizontal refers to a straight and level position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 shows a device 1 which is used for pouring liquid material 15 from a standard cup 14. In at least one case, the liquid material 15 is liquid paint.
FIG. 1 shows the device 1, which is made of five vertically extended and connected components which are as follows: a container section 2A, a funnel section 3B which is vertical and semi-cone-shaped, a tube section 4C, a vertical top adjacent scoop section 5D which comprises a scoop 5 and a flat section 6E which has a straight edge 6A, which is all comprised in a single piece in the device 1. The first combined section is the container section 2A which is made with a hollow tube 2G. The hollow tube 2G comprises a top opening 2F sized and disposed such that the standard cup 14 with liquid material 15 can be placed inside the hollow tube 2G. The vertical cup container 2 has an opening edge 2B at the edge of the top opening 2F. The vertical cup container 2 also has a bottom edge 2C that is ring-shaped and narrower than the opening edge 2B. The container section 2A also has a handle 2D which is of an extended and connected off-vertical flat parallelogram shape, and which starts from the opening edge 2B and extends to the bottom edge 2C. The container section 2A is connected to a funnel 3, which is vertical and semi-cone shaped, in the funnel section 3B. The funnel section 3B is made with a deep bowl shape and a first inclined edge 3C and a second inclined edge 3F, and comprises a narrow opening end 3D which is joined to a tube 4 of the tube section 4C. The narrow opening end 3D defines a funnel bottom opening 4X. The funnel section 3B functions as a transition area for flow of the liquid material 15 between the container section 2A and the tube 4, and thus the funnel section 3B is connected to the tube section 4C. The third combined section which is the tube section 4C comprises the tube 4 which has a ring-shaped circumference, a tube top opening 4Z, and a tube bottom opening 4V. The tube bottom opening 4V is defined by the narrow opening end 3D, and the tube top opening 4z is defined by a scoop edge 5A of the scoop section 5D. The tube 4 allows travel and manipulation of the liquid material 15 which can vary by changes in the length and internal surface shape of the tube 4. The scoop section 5D adjoins the flat section 6E which comprises a flat square 6 and the straight edge 6A at the edge of the flat square 6 The scoop edge 5A is an angle-cut semi-elliptical edge that defines the tube top opening 4Z which allows flowing liquid material to be seen before it gets to the flat square 6 of the flat section 6E that is an important area in liquid paint material for a paint pouring artist. The flat section 6E which has the straight edge 6A, is a main integral section of this whole invention, as by changing the shapes, patterns, designs and styles of the straight edge 6A of the flat square 6 the result of pouring flowable materials will change accordingly.
