Apparatus for the transfer and preservation of juices
An apparatus with a two vents funnel for the transfer and preservation of juices comprising removable vents and outlet extensions at the funnel base; an asymmetrical funnel bowl separated into a main and an overflow chamber, with a pouring lip and its narrow end; a purposefully narrow funnel outlet, with its extension reaching the container's wall during transfer; its seal at the funnel's base with a stop ring; a mesh filter which can be fitted onto the funnel's bowl; and a stand, with an anti-drop plate at its base, which can hold the funnel whereby a user can do the precise transfer of a juice into a receiving container using the seal's stop ring for horizontal alignment and the overflow chamber filling as a clear indication as to when the transfer is complete, this transfer is made bubble-free having the outlet purposely slowing down the flow while at the same time releasing the juice close to the container's inner wall, thus enabling said juice long-term preservation, any leftover into the overflow chamber being easily evacuated through the bowl's narrow end equipped with a pouring lip, and any juice impurities being separated during transfer with the fitted mesh filter, and different receiving containers shape being allowed by simply replacing the extensions and the funnel being cleanly stored away on its stand after use and any drops being then collected by the plate.

FUNNEL SYSTEM FOR A GAS TANK
A funnel system for a gas tank that can be stored within the gas tank during operation of a machine such as a lawnmower or snow blower. Upon removing the cap of the gas tank in a first embodiment, a funnel is moved toward an open position as the funnel is biased toward the open position. Once fuel is added to the gas tank, a guide member of the cap is utilized to force the funnel toward the closed position and then secured to the gas tank. A second embodiment utilizes a separate guide member, separate from the cap to move the funnel to and from the open position to the closed position.

BIODEGRADABLE URINE COLLECTOR
A single-use, biodegradable, paper urine collector and method of using same, the urine collector including a funnel body having a sloped continuous sidewall, a sloped base, a top opening, a funnel hole located at the lowest region of the sloped base and, optionally, a urine sample container operatively coupled to the sloped base. To convey funneled urine into the container, a top edge of the container is positioned within the funnel hole and the base of the container is positioned outside the funnel body. The funnel body is configured to funnel a stream of urine through the top opening and along an interior surface of the funnel body toward and through the funnel hole.

Fluid collection vessel for use with an endoscope
A fluid collection vessel includes a catch portion that is configured to attach to an endoscope adjacent the port. The catch portion directs any leaked fluids the come out of the port into a neck portion that leads to a collection chamber. The catch portion includes an indented portion that is shaped and sized in correspondence with the neck and body of the endoscope so as to locate the port over the approximate center of the opening of the catch portion. The neck portion is an elongated component having a relatively narrow cross section that tends to inhibit spillage in the event of the collection vessel falling or being laid on its side.
