Bucket funnel
A bucket funnel has a funnel body which clips onto a bucket with a top flange. The funnel body has a semicircular lower edge which has about the same radius of curvature as the bucket, but only extends about halfway around. There are outer tabs with inward facing channels at the ends of the lower edge of the funnel body to clip into the flange of the bucket. There is also a spring loaded release clip at about the middle of the lower edge to clip onto the outer flange of the bucket. An inner apron extends down from the lower edge of the funnel body to form a seal against the inner wall of the bucket. An interchangeable conical nozzle attaches to the funnel body for dispensing of fluids of various viscosities, such as glue, paint or fresh concrete.
Device for sanitarily draining human waste from an ostomy pouch into a toilet
A device for sanitarily draining human waste from an ostomy pouch into a toilet includes a base, a main support coupled to the base, a holder coupled to the main support, and a basin retained by the holder. The basin has a top end having a top lip forming a top opening and a bottom end having a bottom opening formed therein. The top lip of the basin is supported by the holder such that at least the weight of the basin is applied to the holder by way of at least the top lip. A drain is coupled to the basin at the bottom opening and is in fluid communication with the basin. The basin is capable of receiving therein human waste drained from an ostomy pouch. The drain is capable of at least directing and draining any human waste received from the basin into a toilet.
Gathering and dispensing scoop with gate valve
A gathering and dispensing scoop with agitating gate valve provides a hemispherically shaped scoop body defining an upper opening, a bottom opening, and a channel extending therebetween. A handle extends radially from an outer peripheral surface of the scoop body. A sector shaped gate valve transects the channel and has a user operable finger tab adjacent to the handle for a user to pivot the gate valve from a first position obstructing the bottom opening to a second position wherein the gate valve no longer obstructs the channel and opens the bottom opening.

Canning funnel with headspace gauge
Disclosed is a canning funnel with an integral headspace gauge, the canning funnel includes a receiving bowl, an outer base, and a positioning portion which when used with a canning jar, protrudes into the opening of the canning jar to guide foodstuffs from the receiving bowl into the canning jar. The positioning portion is formed with horizontal steps that form a headspace gauge, the steps indicating predetermined distances from the top edge of the canning jar so that when in use, liquid or foodstuffs can be added until a required amount of space is formed between the foodstuffs or liquid and the top edge of the canning jar. The horizontal steps being viewable by a user when the canning funnel is positioned on a canning jar for use.
Utensil for collecting and pouring solid or liquid products
A utensil for collecting and pouring solid or liquid products, and in particular to a utensil adapted both for collecting and pouring solid products in powder or granular form, and for collecting and pouring liquid products.

Drainage system for draining viscous liquids from containers
A drainage apparatus for draining viscous liquids from containers includes a collection tote and a rack. The rack includes at least one horizontal support bar with a plurality of tabs extending from the horizontal support bar. The plurality of tabs are configured at an acute angle relative to the horizontal support bar to optimize the draining of viscous fluids from a plurality of containers that are placed on the rack. The drainage apparatus is beneficial for draining fluids such as lubricants and coolants from containers so that the fluids can be repurposed and the containers can be recycled.
